Here's a pic I once rendered for a desktop wallpaper. I wanted to have
windoze place one icon per tile, but icon spacing must be 85.33 for
this to work... Anyway, this is esentially a mandelbrot set in a fized
point with randomised zoom (10^1 to 10^12, I think), iterations
(somewhat proportional to the zoom), color map and rotation. If I am
lucky enough to find the source I'll post it if someone requests it.

P.S. Sorry about the size, but that's the best I could achieve after
30 min of tweaking jpeg parameters. Most of the smaller fractal
details are lost at greater compression levels.

Peter

I love large images.  Thanks for this, after my current project
which I should be able to finish and post to this NG this
weekend, I'll either start working on a Thomas the Tank Engine,
for my 2 year old nephew, or waste the next year of my life
playing (and enjoying every minute of it) with fractals in POV.

Winfract rocks!

Cheers
Steve

Yep, jpeg wreaked havoc with this. Neat idea, icon framing. Don't know who
it was but someone was trying it long ago somewhere. The mandelbrot does
well for this. Funny thought occured to me, have you ever taken a female
to a fabric store? Reminds me a great deal of a possible section in the
store.
And that just reminded me of another thing, my mother asked me if you had
any relationship with a K-Mart line of clothing or some such thing. She
seemed to think there was a "Popov" clothing label there. Wrong, right?:)

Actually it looks a little more fractal this way. Fractal comes from
'fractus' which means 'broken' :) As of icon framing, I'll try to fix
it as put it on my desktop.

No, but dad often tells me to try to make a portfolio of my 2D stuff
and show it in some textile designer house. He thinks no one will
recognise a fractal when they see it :)

Too bad someone already got my name registered. Down go all my dreams
for a blazing career in textile design :((((( j/k

Grim, Steve, thanks for the nice replies :)
