Fractal Art

Filed under: Art,Fun — Posted by the Network Geek during the Hour of the Tiger which is terribly early in the morning or 5:24 am for you boring, normal people.

Surely this qualifies as Friday Fun…Fractal Galaxy

I subscribe to TechRepublic to try and keep up with the latest tools and trends in IT. They track everything from how well the SCO lawsuit is doing to the latest Linux management tools. But, this week, the sent an e-mail that included a link to a rather special graphics gallery.
The really cool images there were generated by a program called Apophysis, which can be downloaded for free at Apophysis.org. I did that and, in longer than it took to type this e-mail, generated the fractals you see in this post. Now, before you all get too impressed, with my work, keep in mind these were done with the default fractal calculations built into the program. Fractal Heart

I’m still looking for more and better fractal functions to use with this, but I thought the standard stuff was worth sharing.

Certainly, it was worth a Friday Fun Link, right?
