Rendering variants

Rendering variants are mainly taking one image and rendering this image with different rendering and coloring methods.
This page is the main page from 2008, where my interest had been to render fractal images.
As you can see this interest has shifted to finding generation functions with their start values.
Nevertheless I leave these images here as they are.

  • nova set: the Nova set is a set found by Paul Derbyshire, it is derived from the equation z^3-1=0, then applying Newton's method to solve the equation, which yields: z(n+1) = z(n)-(z(n)^3-1) / (3 * z(n)^2). To my knowledge it was the idea of Paul to now add a constant c, and this yields the equation of the Nova set: z(n+1) = z(n)-(z(n)^3-1) / (3 * z(n)^2) + c. Surprisingly the Nova set has a lot of apple manikins, like the famous Mandelbrot set.
  • triangular nova set: changing the start parameters for the Nova set results in this triangular Nova set.
  • cornucopia: playing around with Henon mappings and having a typo in my formula, I have found this cornucopia like spiral.
  • band2 images of nova: a rendering method applied to different locations in the Nova set
  • ferguson fan: a rendering method applied to different locations in the Ferguson Nova set
  • volterra: taking the Lottke-Volterra differential equations, applying the Euler Method to solve these equations one gets these more simple images. In the vintage section are my first Volterra images from 1990.
  • weirdo spiral: experimenting with some Volterra formulas in the complex plane, I have found this really weird spiral.
  • misc: miscellaneous images
  • yannik's fractals: first fractal images of my son Yannik.
  • vintage: old stuff from 1988 to 1990
  • animations: fractal animations
  • vintage slideshow: May/2014: images of an old slideshow, which had been archived
