Makin' Magic Fractals
I became interested in fractals and fractal art when I first used "Fractint" in April 1999.
I was immediately hooked and have been writing fractal formulas and colourings and creating fractal art ever since.
I now primarily use Ultra Fractal.

Makin' Magic Fractals The search goes on....since the Mandelbulb wasn't actually the "holy grail", I decided to keep searching for the "true 3D" Mandelbrot and found this one:

This 3D Mandy is a 3D equivalent to complex z^2+c and is based on the standard view transformation around 3 axes using the basic 2D angles. There is an important difference from the normal transform, in ...

Makin' Magic Fractals Hi all, my work "7th Level Mandelbrot Temple" was chosen to exhibited as part of ICM2010 from around 300 entries:

Your work is so beautiful, that it needs no apraisal! but it never hurts of course! Within the coming months I'm hoping to work with a friend so that I can use your shorter creations as motiefs in a larger viusal contruction, with your approval of the finished piece of course. all the best now.

I would one day love to see a "feature length" of this!

Makin' Magic Fractals Finally got that animation done...in the end it took around 24 hours.

A fly over a lake created in part of a degree 7 "true 3D" Mandelbrot Set. The formula used is due to Daniel White and Paul Nylander. Details in this thread: http://www.fractalforums.com/3d-fractal-generation/true-3d-mandlebrot-type-fractal/ ...

It's a little on the short side to bother - at least I thought so, however I am planning on doing some longer animations with custom music (not written by me I hasten to add) but done by neonwind - http://www.youtube.com/user/neonwind

Makin' Magic Fractals Haven't finished redoing the other animation yet, but here's a different one (took 55 hours):

Makin' Magic Fractals Am just cooking up another 500 frame animation.....7.5 hours to go.

I haven't actually done that many animations of "normal" escape-time fractals basically because they tend to take a long time. In future I'll check the frames in UF more closely before doing the final render :)
I've never had to redo the animations using my 3D IFS formula.

I improved my WIP 3D render formula and managed to get better results in a frame time of 2 to 3 mins on my core2Duo so I've decided to render a full 500 frames - it's cooking now, estimated 16hrs 45mins left.
