   nice [fractal] images...
  Heh,i''ve found completely new things you can do with Lorentz attractor...http://dmytrylavrov.narod.ru/images/graphs/a01/page_01.htm
  I''m really not quite sure what I''m looking at. o.0    Pumpkin Pieman - [Blogger]Go to war again, blood is freedom''s stain, But don''t you pray for my soul anymore. ;  Looks cool, what''s a lorentz attractor? ;quote:Original post by Boops  Looks cool, what''s a lorentz attractor?

There was a poll there OGL vs D3D, no ideea what it said but i voted for OpenGLoh and does PIe eat you over there ?

In this case, they are two very different things.   Set of points on attractor is a fractal.We could check if point lie on Lorentz attractor by tracing it back using Lorentz attractor equations with flipped signs, till point flyes to infinity.The longer it takes for point to exit some region,the closest we are to point of Lorentz attractor. Similar enough to famous method of visualising Julia set,huh ?The "difference" here is only difference of common visualisation methods.Of course [attractor in general] != [fractal in general].Also,it's not the set of differential equations but rather it's IFS(iterated functions system). Go to downloads section of my site,http://dmytrylavrov.narod.ru/downloadse.htmand look on last program.It's also IFS,but it doesn't looks like attractor .Also,look athttp://spanky.triumf.ca/www/fractal-info/ifs-type.htmRegards,Dmytry Lavrov.edit:typosand also ,about method of visualisation i've used:just same as standard except bit different equations and different pixel plotting routine.Instead of drawing pixel with some color, pixel color at that point are incremented.So,image are brighter at points where probability are bigger.
