Kudos to you if you understand and can define the definition in English...

* Is there anyone here that creates these?
* Are there other computer programs that anyone can recommend besides the one I mention below?
* Has anyone used FLAM3?
* Anyone just like Fractals and have a few favorites they'd be willing to share?

The following are Fractal Art Images, created by Sven Geier using a free download of a program called FLAM3 (which can be accessed from the same site). Sven has made these, and a vast array of other examples, available for common use (see the site for details) at the following site: The Fractal Bargain Bin - Wallpapers / Eye Candy / Pretty Stuff.

Anyone who remembers the Fight Club intro sequence with the brains, that was done using a L-System, still one of my favorite 3D sequences.

I'll always remember finding Lapre's 3D L-Parser when I was at college, and it kept me awake for nights. For anyone interested there are a number of l parser implemented in different apps, there is one in inkscape.

Dag nabbit! I had the video all loaded and everything and was going to watch it as soon as I could get to a point where I could turn up the volume...but I got distracted with downloading fractal programs and navigated away from here with the wrong page...hope it comes back up.

I just downloaded contextfree...Thank you for posting the link. I look forward to trying it out. I've only downloaded a pdf explaining FLAM3 so far...lol...I think contextfree looks a bit easier.

@Gnosus
I'm curious as to what you are refering to as well. The only thing I've found on 'fractal intelligences' was an ad for a company that uses a fractal model to map out project management, a pdf of an abstract from the Romanian Consortium for the Education of Gifted Children and Youth that uses a "David Star Model" to explain personalities and interactions between people with different personality types, and a link to an artist who calls his art "Fractal Intelligent Art", but there's not much on the page so, his name is Hopper if you want to look him up.]]> Fractals, Fractal Art, Fractal Geometry...... http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=116&Focus=10827#Comment_10827 2008-01-05T09:30:08-08:00 2013-05-19T06:15:18-07:00 Mark Seifert http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=3 Benoit Mandelbrot Fractal Art Contest 2007 - Winners Winners
