i wouldnt have guessed that youre into that[/QUOTE]

Well yes I have good taste!

well i guess that you do!

[QUOTE=TimJim;16653809]very nice mate

whats it for?[/QUOTE]

Shits and giggles

Another, better IFS rendering

Generated with ~50 lines of Python

what is IFS?

Pretty cool. How did you make it?

[QUOTE=TimJim;16653818]what is IFS?[/QUOTE]

'Iterated function system'

That means that you take a point, apply some transformations to it, then render it, then do so a few thousand more times

The secret is that the points have to converge in a certain pattern, otherwise you'll end up with junk.

Fractals are graduate level math and I'm only at the shallow end of the pool atm; I don't understand all the theory yet, but what little I do know has been pretty rewarding.

In fact, they may have a practical application: there's this girl I work with in the school ESL lab who looks me over every time I walk in and forcibly dragged me over to help her with both hands a few days ago. Since I have clumsy mathematician/programmer hands and can't [b]physically[/b] draw art, my IFS pictures may greatly increase [i]P(L)[/i] where [I]L[/I] is the event that I score. (Plus I could drop mad geographical knowledge about her home country.)

I took instructions from here

[url]http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/fractals/[/url]

And made my own code with them, which allowed me to color the images however I wanted. Coloring was the most fun part: I'd set up a vector describing the proportions of the colors and then play with it until I got good results. The last one for instance was 25% royal blue, 65% lime green and 10% purple. [b]It's better than mixing fountain beverages at Burger King.[/b]

After I generated the raw image, I blurred it to make it look more realistic, because the raw png I made with GD was a very grainy aliased rendering.

1338 nows how to make fractals

awesome

mcp3000 nows how to spell

Less bickering more math elitery

i does know my spelling

so does elmntrs

elmntrs is like a dictionary

I'm a balanced binary tree

I was buying sweaters today and the salesgirl was flirting with me. I think.

Dude i just met a half black half japanese, a half lebanese half french, and half columbian half white chick.
it blazed my mind

Were they divided vertically, or horizontally?

all vertically

it was like a great divide ice cream bar

wow im hungry

Eat. I'm going to make myself some tea.

interesting

Weird Al Yankovic?

That is ****ing siqq

Speaking of 'white and nerdy', did you see the fractal images I hand rendered using Python earlier in the thread? I think you'd like them

why is he by himself on the ride though

his wife was with their kid on another car. theres only two people per car

ill check them out. ive taken a math break this summer haha so i might be a little lost

Weird Al Yankovic is too good to share a car with [B]ANYONE[/B]

Lovely hair.

They're easy to appreciate anyway
