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

Hey everyone.

I'm a programmer and computer artist, so naturally I think fractals are just awesome. I haven't ever played around with them, though until recently, when I wrote my own OpenGL fractal explorer for the mandelbrot and burning ship fractals(which was way easier than I expected). I'm going to continue to improve my fractal explorer, and probably even dive into coding the mandelbulb and other 3D fractals at some point. Of course, I'll also try out some of the fractal explorers already out there, but it's even more fun to make my own.

The burning ship is my favorite fractal so far. Does anyone know of any formulas that are as awesome as Mandelbrot and BS? The Mandelbrot set gets by far the most attention, but I think there's a lot of new territory to be found in the world of 2D fractals.

That's a pretty interesting fractal. It has some unique patterns, though, in most places, it's too "sparse" to approach the beauty of the big 2.

Those are some really interesting fractals, Alef. Thanks.
