  Koch Curve 3d (30k jpg) (Message 1 to 10 of 10)

Once when drawing the Koch Curve by hand(I didn't have access to a 
computer at the time) I noticed what appeared to be a 3d structure to 
what is usually a 2d pattern.

The first part of this image is the basic Koch Curve in two dimensions. 
It is derived from a recursive macro which translates paired 
tetrahedrons to each of the four corners of the original pair. The 
actual 3d object is shown in the second image.

Questions, comments, etc. are always welcome.

It looks great, but (and there is always a but ;-) ) it seems that there 
are some "spikes" missing. I mean there are some flat areas, that should 
also have spikes.

Just my 2 eurocents...

It's not actually a Koch Curve in the 3d sense. I'm trying to formulate 
an idea on that still...

Nice.  How about a view from the side?

I'll look at them as soon as I can get Windows 98 to play a #$%@! avi file.

Okay, I finally got a codec bundle that actually wanted to install. Nice 
animations, although they both seem like nearly the same thing. New 
iterations seem to be added too late around the edges of the object, too.

When I tried last night to make an *actual* Koch3d Curve, I ended up 
with a box shape with a regular (boring) cross-hatched pattern all over 
it. It went away and turned into something more interesting if I scaled 
each iteration by less than 0.5.

My 3d object wasn't meant to be a literal translation of the Koch Curve, 
it was merely meant to build up the 2d Koch Curve. I should have used a 
different subject title, I suppose :). All my attempts to make the real 
3d Koch Curve form a 2d one have so far failed.
