END OF AN ERA, FRACTALFORUMS.COM IS CONTINUED ON FRACTALFORUMS.ORG

hello all,

the university in mexico is making some kind of event where they want to combine an axolotl image
with a fractal, and they asked me if i know someone who can create an image that ist looking
like an axolotl,

here is an google image search for axolotl

https://www.google.com/search?q=axolotl&aq=0&sugexp=chrome,mod%3D0&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=de&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=aIqFUKaJIoTlqAHauYHgAg&biw=1024&bih=475&sei=bYqFUIXMJqK8yAG0xIHQDw

kraftwerk has a similar image, and i am going to ask him
http://www.fractalforums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=12090

perhaps you can come up with a better similar image, perhaps using a flame !??!

any help would be welcome, i think they would need the image by the end of the week

regards
ck

so, i am at home now, was trying out to place a circle, and 2 eyes and a mouth using julia circles, enroused with red julia spirals, but they werent fond of it will post my try tomorrow, would be nice if someone finds just some-thing like it at best in 3d

axolotl with fractal background

Maybe you could do something crazy like remapping the axolotl mesh's curvature to itself in an iterative process to get the axolotl "self-fractal".
What ever that means.

Oh, this was my first idea!
Seriously, I hardly understand what you say, but I would like to do it if possible, but I fear I´´m just a draughsman without any mathematical skills.
This said, if anyone wants to try it, I will provide the mesh.

  As I explained in another thread
http://www.fractalforums.com/help-and-support/shark-or-small-aircraft-and-how-to-describe-it-in-fractal/
 the modelling process, is a fractal one.
  Due to software architecture, wich in turns depend on real needs, the model start as a box,then an iterative process, divide and subdivide the original box into all the needed sections .
   In this particular case, we can also see some fractals in the axolotl "head branches", I don´´t know how to tell them.
   For this model, I´´ve also used fractals to create the animal´´s skin, by mapping some fractal noise over it.
   THere´´s also a fractal noise map projected by light to create the caustic effect.The caustics effect depends, in turn, of the fractal nature of waves.
    Of course, the background is  a 3d fractal, and the ground is a plane with fractal noise applied.
    Definitely, we can´´t get rid off fractals, they are all around us, and any closer look to anything will show fractals.

If the head branches were axo's too (and iterated) that would be interesting. Just scale, translate and rotate the mesh.

this is my attempt who can do a top view using julias ?!?!
