Mucking about with fractals

Can download a programme that you can generate and manipulate fractal type images. Been mucking around for an hour, and it's quite entertaining.

We had a section on fractals in one of my classes at college, maybe it was Crystallography? I don't remember, but it was fascinating.

Crystalography lost me at uni how they could ascertain BCC, FCC, and CPH from an X-ray of dots.

Not quite sure now whether these are fractals...they aren't what you typical see of a simple pattern spun down to infinity.

Can create patterns, and they are spun in a few ways. It's fun.

A few "creations".

Really?

Doubly good!

Something is wrong with the forum. For the past few days some of my posts have turned out as double posts. I didn't do it. Look at the time stamp.

They're fractals.

is this program free?
I got it, and installed it.

what's that time counter on the bottom? does the license expire or something?

 

[Shannow]

It's free. Time counter (bottom left ?) indicates how long it's gonna take to render.
