Btw, Buddhabrot is also quite an amazing way of rendering the Mandelbrot set.

also called the boobybrot


Thats "WIN" music is not my cup of tea.

Wow this is amazing. Stop whining westy and Enzo, read the article:
"White's search isn't over, though. He admits the Mandelbulb is not quite the "real" 3D Mandelbrot. "There are still 'whipped cream' sections, where there isn't detail," he explains. "If the real thing does exist – and I'm not saying 100 per cent that it does – one would expect even more variety than we are currently seeing."
Part of the problem is that extending the Mandelbrot set to 3D requires many subjective choices that influence the outcome. For example, you could extend a flat plane to 3D by stretching it to form a box, but you could also turn it into a sphere."

Also this page explains the mathematics and procedure somewhat clearer:

What this is, is just an amazingly beautiful 3D interpretation of a famous fractal.
This is definitely going into my watch when tripping folder


you say quit whining but I explained pretty concisely why you cannot do a 3d mandalbrot properly.
allso you cannot exspect everyone to read an acoseated artical when the initail post is titeld wrong.

If it was titaled artists representation of a 3d mandelbrot and then exsplaind how it worked then it would have been most excielent.

however as it is its a pretty pore attempt at a 3d Mandelbrot.

I thought of you when watching this http://videosift.com/video/Mandelbrot-Set-Jonathan-Coulton-Blackboard-Video#comment-998246

Bold Dag! Bold!>> ^siftbot:

...or is it just me?

OMG This record has been SMASHED! There is a new fractal program out there called Fractal eXtreme, and people are making unBELIEVABLY deep zooms! Check out: http://www.videosift.com/video/Mindblowing-EXTREME-zoom-into-the-Mandelbrot-Set

1. Like my brother Ornthoron did, I study physics.

2. I get really good grades.

3. Like my brother Haldaug, I play the jazz saxophone. As he actually studies music, I can't really compare myself to him.

4. I also play the clarinet and the piano.

5. I got much better grades in nynorsk than bokmål, even though bokmål is the language I use.

6. I've had socialist democrat leanings for most of my life (gasp!)

7. I'm being torn in a liberal direction by my brothers and a persuasive right-wing extremist friend (by Norwegian standards).

8. Hanging on videosift doesn't help.

9. While i've never really believed in any god, I didn't call myself an atheist until about a year ago.

10. Despite this I was baptized and confirmed a Lutheran Christian. Hey, it's a cultural thing!

11. I read a lot of popular science, and like to pretend I know something just because i've read a book about it.

12. At around 8 years of age, I had a philosophy discussion club with two friends.

13. My favourite philosopher is Daniel Dennett.

14. I learned programming in High School on a Casio 9850GC+ calculator. Among the programs I wrote was a drawing program and a Mandelbrot fractal generator (which used over an hour to draw a single frame!)

15. Since that i've learned real computer languages, but have never really finished a programming project.

16. Since I moved out, I've usually gone to bed two o'clock in the morning.

17. I still do not drink that much coffee...

18. I own a Flower Stick (a kind of Devil Stick for newbs). I am good enough at it to impress people who have never seen one before.
People who have seen one is another matter...

19. Despite my grass pollen allergy, I haven't taken more than about three packs of antihistamines in my life.

20. I am a slow writer. I'll be back with a few more!

Makes sense that the fractal compression used would eventually manifest as such. It's funny that the end image looks much like the grainy mandelbrot set viewers of the 90s.

That's "One badass fuckin' fractal."
Sweet song and animation.

In addition to the Mandelbrot/Julia kerfuffle, I would also like to point out that you spelled "genius" wrong.

Oh man, Fjnbk - that text mandelbrot is fantastic! I am so saving it in a .txt right now.

Surrender to the colours! The colours are truth.

In reply to this comment by gwiz665:
I had no idea what you and fjnbk were talking about when referring to the Mandelbrot set, so I went to wikipedia and saw this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set#Image_gallery_of_a_zoom_sequence now my brain exploded due to exposure to pure awesomeness. Thanks a lot, dick!
