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.

I think that talk by Mandelbrot would have been interesting, though...did he provide visuals?

Obliterati: WOW!!! They're all wonderful, but I absolutely LOVE the first one in the series you've posted above.

...and now I've had a look at the ones from the link you've provided and I'm just blown away. In that series, I really like the last one from the desert. ]]> Fractals, Fractal Art, Fractal Geometry...... http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=116&Focus=3280#Comment_3280 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=116&Focus=3280#Comment_3280 Mon, 03 Dec 2007 11:35:45 -0800 JaredRules Fractals, Fractal Art, Fractal Geometry...... http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=116&Focus=3292#Comment_3292 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=116&Focus=3292#Comment_3292 Mon, 03 Dec 2007 11:58:20 -0800 Mark Seifert
Have you tried contextfree? Not exactly fractals, but very interesting app to create algorithm-based images.

I remember the talk by Mandelbrot only vaguely as it was quite a long time ago, but he definitively gave visuals (among others the Romanesco), as it was targeted at a general audience in a modern art museum, the ZKM in Karlsruhe, Germany. ]]> Fractals, Fractal Art, Fractal Geometry...... http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=116&Focus=3475#Comment_3475 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=116&Focus=3475#Comment_3475 Mon, 03 Dec 2007 15:26:43 -0800 Scribe Fractals, Fractal Art, Fractal Geometry...... http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=116&Focus=6439#Comment_6439 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=116&Focus=6439#Comment_6439 Sat, 08 Dec 2007 19:17:50 -0800 obliterati

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. Currently, houdini has the best implementation of fractals and recursive and procedural workflow in my opinion... SideFx they have a free version you can play with. A bit weird to learn, but great fun. ]]> Fractals, Fractal Art, Fractal Geometry...... http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=116&Focus=6449#Comment_6449 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=116&Focus=6449#Comment_6449 Sat, 08 Dec 2007 20:38:28 -0800 obliterati Fractals, Fractal Art, Fractal Geometry...... http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=116&Focus=6451#Comment_6451 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=116&Focus=6451#Comment_6451 Sat, 08 Dec 2007 20:44:05 -0800 Doc Ocassi
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.

Here is a few links regarding L-Systems:

I think this video just crashed youtube.

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.

@Mark Seifert
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.

@aike
Thank you; Houdini looks like an awesome program! Got the "Apprentice" version and I'm really looking forward to seeing what it can do! ]]> Fractals, Fractal Art, Fractal Geometry...... http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=116&Focus=6456#Comment_6456 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=116&Focus=6456#Comment_6456 Sat, 08 Dec 2007 20:56:35 -0800 Gypsy Fractals, Fractal Art, Fractal Geometry...... http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=116&Focus=6470#Comment_6470 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=116&Focus=6470#Comment_6470 Sat, 08 Dec 2007 22:09:52 -0800 aike TED the talk is part of TED, can can be found here, with lots other equally stunningly amazing ones.

@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 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=116&Focus=10827#Comment_10827 Sat, 05 Jan 2008 09:30:08 -0800 Mark Seifert Winners
