My Bio
I am a grad student in mathematics, and my research is closely related to fractals. (Yes, there is an entire field in mathematics about fractals!)

I use my own programs, in Java, implemented after Draves description on fractal flames. I will share my source code to anyone interested.

When it comes to the mathematics behind fractals, I will happily answer them if I am able to. If not, I can probably point in the right direction.

Jag har skrivit ett dokument om klassiska fraktaler på svenska, som kan hittas på addressen www2.math.su.se/~per/files.php…

Jag tar gärna emot alla sorts konstruktiva kommentarer om texten.

Take the first 1000 most popular fractals of all time, where the authors presents the parameters. Sort the variations according the the number of times they're used. You will get something like this below. (For example, blur is used in 578 fractals in my dataset) 578  Blur 561  Linear3D 380  Spherical 342  Julian 328  Bubble 295  Linear 189  Cylinder 168  Gaussian_blur 123  Splits 120  Juliascope 118  swirl 111  Julia3D 110  Sinusoidal 110  plotmode 107  Radial_blur 106  Rectangles 93  Disc 92  Ztranslate 87  Zcone 85  Bipolar 71  Curl 71  Rings2 69  curl3D 69  curl3D_cx 69  curl3D_cy 69  curl3D_cz 67  hemispher

Rant about designing better flame fractal programs: http://www2.math.su.se/~per/pages.php?page=flame_layout.txt

I am working on a GUI for my fractal generating software, heavily inspired by Apophysis. It already supports: * 3D Variations, so there is no need for strange hacks. * Unlimited number of XForms, and unlimited number of variations in each XForm. ** Same Variation can be used many times in an XForm, with different parameters. * Xaos * Post-Transform ** Multiple XForms can be used in the post-transform. ** Post-transform Depth - number of times to apply the post-transform. The usual settings like: * Vibrancy * Gamma * Filter Radius The program is written in Java, so it is much easier to create new Variations for the program, compar

1000 thanks for the watch, Per. Take care!!
Heya, thanks for keeping an eye on me ^^
Really like your tiling stuff!
