Fractal Lab - #WebGL webapp for rendering 2D and 3D fractals in real-time /by @subblue. Created by Tom Beddard aka subblue, Fractal Lab is a WebGL based web application for rendering 2D and 3D fractals in real-time and the latest in Tom’s research in complex and visually stunning 3D fractal structures.
As we already reported few months back, Tom already created some truly stunning works (see bottom of the post) using the Adobe Pixel Bender Toolkit and working with Photoshop, After Effects and Quarz Composer. This time, Tom’s fractals run in your browser with ability to explore and loose yourself in these magnificent structures. You will need a WebGL enabled browser, currently Google Chrome or Firefox 4 beta are the best choices, and a reasonably modern graphics card. fractal.io also available on github.com/subblue/FractalLab + make sure you pay a visit to Tom’s flickr. Fractal Lab. History Fractal Lab started around the beginning of 2011 as my first explorations rendering fractals in the browser with WebGL.
Previously I had created renderers using Adobe PixelBender and QuartzComposer, which both had the advantage of easy integration into Photoshop and AfterEffects but were very limited when it came to interactively exploring the fractal space. Mathematical and Generative Graphics.
