Fractal Friday 2020.03.13

* UPDATE * we have 2 weeks to go on our IndieGogo campaign for MathPaint! Please support the release of this great new generative-art application. You can also pre-order it for 10% off! https://igg.me/at/mathpaint While zooms are the most common type of fractal animations, I really enjoy the results of animating by gradually shifting a … Read moreFractal Friday 2020.03.13

Fractal Friday 2020.01.17

This week’s images again come from some experiments with new features for MathPaint, the flagship software app I’m working on. Previously I posted some experiments with edge rendering in fractal geometry, where only the boundary between levels of output are drawn. It shows the boundary between iteration levels but does not indicate the level itself … Read moreFractal Friday 2020.01.17

Fractal Friday 2019.12.06

The Mathaesthetics software has made some cool advances this week, and we’re celebrating with our first Fractal Friday video! These images depict a Julia set of degree 3 (function z^3 + C), with the C value 0.4+0.7i, 50 iterations maximum, and the escape value slowly changing with each image. The first image has escape value … Read moreFractal Friday 2019.12.06

Strawberry vector fields forever

My new vector field renderer prototype is chugging along, and combined with hooking up .png output to the app I was able to make a couple of little animations with it. The vector function is a combination of trig and exponentiation (mixing up x and y to keep things interesting across the plane). These animated … Read moreStrawberry vector fields forever
