or some reason, you are not the only one who thinks that. Humm... Check
this one out:

Can you see some sort of insect like face in there? Mantis like?

I even rendered some of it's body parts... My C++ program creates a
stack of images that are then volumetrically rendered by a program
called ImageJ.

http://siggrapharts.ning.com/photo/alien-anatomy

I still have the main formula I created for this.

Here is an animation of one of the generated image stacks in black and

ROFL!!! That is a great comment: I am humbled. Math creates my "nebula",
basically an IFS. :^) Actually, the winning rendering uses a fairly
similar technique to my MultiJulia experiment:

http://paulbourke.net/fractals/multijulia
(read all, when you get some free time to burn...)

Read all, and even try to code it up in C++. My plotter code should help
with the means to plot, and dump a PPM. :^)


> Astonishing picture!

Thanks again, Ralf. Fwiw, I am currently resurrecting my older code (7-8
years ago) that generates the "nebula" like results. I have some new
plotter logic that I want to port it to: All in C++... :^D

Fwiw, my recent plotter code can be found in several places. Keep in
mind that I have not shown my 3d plotter. ;^)

Black Hole:

A massive sink in the center at point (0, 0), with two smaller sources
at points (-1, 0) and (1, 0). The sink is attracting the whole field
quite nicely.

A simple field with directional arrows so one can visualize how the
field lines are actually flowing. Four sources in the field at points:

(-1, 0), (1, 0), (0, -1), (0, 1)

12 field lines per source

Fwiw, here is a result:

https://fractalforums.org/gallery/1612-191022205112.jpeg

from one of my older special Multi-Julia IFS algorithms. Here is the
base algo:

http://paulbourke.net/fractals/multijulia/

I still have the original code for this specific rendering, made back
over a decade ago, iirc. It was zoomed in. Kind of a bitch to do in an
IFS. Iirc, it had around a billion iterations, or over. I have to take a
look at my old code again...

Implementing all of this in C++ was well worth it.
