OMG Incredible 3D Fractals!

The first ones are made in such a program, the last ones I don't know as they usually code it themselves, the demoscene is all about keeping things with very small file sizes, even normal demo's tend to use procedurals to create models and textures to keep the file size down.

ok turns out i can probably go higher than 80mpixel with this higher jpeg compression.
so i will try that, once its perfected i will upload.

to be honest yea that last one looks beyond the capabilites of fragmentarium. But it is still in alpha, so the finished product may be able to do it.

Would be a nightmare without openCL.

ran into a load of problems, all my image editors couldnt open the 120mb file. Then i used office to open the file. After cropping the image slightly, it ended up stored as a blank white image.

i'll give you an 80mp version.

i'll upload something else if i get a really good one.

some more for you to look at.

Fragmentarium looks good nonetheless, it's nice to see a 3D fractal program with a GUI, never heard of it before.

ok these are the last pics im going to upload.
Somebody else should try.

If you stare at the center you make it stop.

Introduce nanobots to replicate the form and you have a structure.

Heh, it would be neat if you could port some of those images to a 3d printer and watch it smoke and catch fire.

You could build superstructures with ease and if you were an advanced alien specie, you could create a matrix for beings to live in.

Look at this bad boy.

That looks like the amoeba talked about in the gnostic texts.

HEH OP,

Any way you could post a text dump of some basic setup commands for the totally uninitiated to start with?

Really nice images!! The 3D fractals look so organic--as in live like cells....

Try this its not guaranteed to work tho.

Open the program go to examples go to >Historic 3D fractals>mandelbulb.

Then copy this text below and when its copied click the paste from clipboard command in the bottom right of the fragmentarium program.

if you look at the parameters on left you will see computer code, if you can find the "uniform float Power slider.
change the last value upto 32. and click build. Then when you look in the parameters on the right, you can increase the power to about 24 to get the settings i was using.

or this one for the mandelbulb again.

and the result is this amazing paint splash like image.

Thanks a bunch, OP!

For folks that haven't seen 3D fractals, just click the links see what you think to the images.

some new images coming up.

pick the best, save as wallpapers. pretty cool.

more to come.;

Why dont you have a go at making them. All you need is a decent graphics card and the free program.
