bilding by ZZZ_spb<\/p><\/div>\n

Just a neon sign, cloudy sky and moon, but what a transformation.\u00a0 A number of 3d fractalists refer to having an “architectural style” and here you can really see what’s meant by that term and why it is such a natural one in the world of 3d fractals.\u00a0 Nice and subtle addition to an otherwise average mandelbox.\u00a0 ZZZ_spb really shines at this sort of thing.<\/p>\n

Encapsulation by MarkJayBee<\/p><\/div>\n

Another example of subtle but powerful.\u00a0 This is not a terribly exciting mandelbox but the clear box Mark put around it and especially the way he’s colored and textured it’s surface has transformed the simple image into something fascinating.\u00a0 I don’t think Mark was really trying to make something noteworthy here, just experiment with this inclusion feature of the program. But the final result is great.<\/p>\n

Handshaking Buds by Kali<\/p><\/div>\n

Made in Fragmentarium<\/a>, a bold new program by Syntopia<\/a> for making weird, terrifying things like this.\u00a0 Although, like Mark’s image above, I believe this image is something of a technical experiment rather than an attempt to create art in the strict sense of the word (and what does that<\/em> mean?), the result is something quite unique and almost humorous as well.\u00a0 Humour in fractal art?<\/p>\n

The power of fractal recursion to repeat things on smaller and smaller scales works quite an artistic effect here in the little shaking hands in the mid-foreground (bottom, center).\u00a0 You might need to view the hi-res version to really appreciate it.\u00a0 Next they’re all going to buy the world a Coke…<\/p>\n
