Introduction: Chris Hayton

[eNZedBlue]

Hi,

I'm a computer programmer living in Melbourne, Australia (originally from New Zealand). I've been working as a professional games programmer for the last 5 years, specialising in graphics programming for handheld units such as the Gameboy Advance and Nintendo DS. I've had a strong interest in fractals for many years, but only really started creating my own images about a year ago, as a hobby thing. I like to focus on line-based fractals as well as Mandelbrot/Julia fractals, and enjoy finding corollaries between fractals and "sacred geometry" found in religious iconography, occult & pagan runes, and other forms of geometrical spiritual symbolism. I also like taking a "sacred geometry" symbol and figuring out a way to "fractalise" it. I've also experimented with texturing and textual effects on the Mandelbrot set.

Here's my Renderosity page:

Here's a couple of my galleries:

I'm looking forward to participating in this forum, and hope to be able to contribute something of value.

Cheers

Indeed, one can find almost any religious symbol in fractals.  I've encountered a great variety.

Our concepts seem to arise from the way our brain is structured. Since we are but a small fragment of the whole fractal universe, it is no surprise that the symbols we use for spiritual things may be found in fractal images. Mathematics is a symbolic language, after all.
