Hey, I aint making this stuff up. I just happened to have a spoonful of sauce I found earlier today.

Oh, no offense to the OP. “Fractalius” is indeed what it’s called. I’m just saying that the plugin developers just made a really cool plugin. Not something that generates figures whose Hausdorff dimension is fractional.
@... ieattime20:
i agree with your first comment, for i thought the same thing. however, after that, i got lost.

@...traptin85: Many, many different ways to define fractals. Look up the Hausdorff Dimension of an object on wikipedia. It’s a way of measuring how ‘fractally’ something is, as an alternative to boxcounting methods, that has the benefit of fitting in intuitively with our notion of ‘dimension’ (i.e. a line having dim 1, a flat plane dim 2, etc).
this is neat-o

Wow, awesome. How many people just made one of these their desktop?
These are beautiful – How are they done?
JESUS CHRIST, ELECTRIC LION. GET IN THE…OH FUCK.
Tell me there’s a generator for this.
@...HoChunk: No generator… 5000 hours in MS Paint.
Look it’s Firefox!
Hello new wallpaper collection. <3
Um, these are very cool.. but how are they fractals? Hausdorff D > 1?
Not to be nitpicky, but I’m sort of into fractals.

“The effects are based on extraction of so-called hidden fractal texture of an image.”

It’s a pshop plugin
Very cool looking, but still sounds like snake oil to me. “Hidden fractal texture of an image”?
@...ieattime20: I’m w/ ya on this one. I posted one and called it “ghostly” rather than fractal.

My figure’s Hausdorff dimension is also fractional.
At least for the moment.

So it’s a shortcut, interesting. Seems to have a notion to be married to quantum-computing, same sort of cutting-out-the-middle-man math I love.
@ieattime20:
i’d rather not…
im just lazy like that.
do not care what it’s called the effect is badass…………fractally speaking.
And when their powers combine… they take the form of www.myconfinedspace.com/2009/02/24/wow-just-wow/
Beautiful.
I now have a new wallpaper.
