THE WONDER OF 3-D FRACTALS

MandelNightShade-small

Remember when we first discovered fractals. I got Benoit Mandelbrot's book back in the 1980s when I was working on a book about computer graphics. How amazing it seemed then that a relatively simple math formula could generate such complex and fascinating patterns and that fractal patterns could be found everywhere in nature. Now prepare yourself for that extra dimension: Fractals in 3-D. a truly awesome sight. See The Unravelling of the 3D Mandelbulb
