until now,
so what is a fractal? fractals are patterns
that repeat at every scale, creating never-ending swirls, lines, and curves
that have been loved in the natural, math, and art worlds for centuries,
UK physicist Tom Beddard previously from the University of St Andrews in Scotland,
has produced 'Fabergé Fractals'
Beddard explains, 'the 3D fractals are generated by iterative formulas
whereby the output of one iteration forms the input for the next, the formulas
effectively fold, scale, rotate or flip space, they are truly fractal in the
fact that more and more detail can be revealed the closer to the surface you
travel, the fascinating aspect is where combinations of parameters
can combine to create structural 'resonances' of extraordinary detail and
beauty, sometimes naturally organic and other times perfectly geometric, but
then like a chaotic system it can completely disappear with the smallest
perturbation', all I know is that they look so neat, I just wonder how easy/difficult they were to make?
