Hi Kaleidos!
So i made this small Dx11 fractal renderer for a course at my university, which is called 'Fractals"
Anyways the idea was to simply generate new Kaleidoscopic Fractals with a few cklicks. In other words: add operators, modify the scaling, change parameters on the fly. Its not something new in terms of Fractal Theory but i thought it might be cool to have a tool to fool around with math.
And actually after some (very simply) fooling around i came along those following monsters which are all named by my girlfriend and hopefully you guys have not already found them:
Devil-hedron:
Simple extension of the Sierpinski Tetrahedron with a Sphere Fold (as in the Mandelbox). I think its nice because it not only contains itself and
the formula looks something like:
scale: 2
offset: -1 -1 -1
plane fold 1: 0.71 0.71 0
plane fold 2: 0.71 0 0.71
plane fold 3: 0 0.71 0.71
sphere fold: 0.25 1.00
Well this is essentially the Koch Snowflake with a Sphere Fold (see the pattern here?). It actually gives the former flat fractal a body with a copy of itself at the pointy end
the formula looks something like:
scale: 2.5
offset: -2 -1 0
plane fold 1: 0.71 -0.71 0
plane fold 2: 0.71 0 -0.71
plane fold 3: 0 0.71 -0.71
sphere fold: 0.25 1.00
P.S.: again if those are already know, i am sry and i wont take credit for it, just let me know
