FWIW, here is another compilation of a special case of Julia sets from:

Cynthia - I am truly humbled. Thank you so much for taking a look at some of my work! FWIW, the whole object is based on a special case of a Julia set. I created it by stacking slices of 2d renderings on top of each other and using a volumetric viewer (ImageJ) to actually observe the resulting 3d object. When I started viewing this "thing", well, I was completely amazed, and kind of blown away. It looks _highly_ organic, and seems to resemble the inner working of some sort of "alien skull".

Very wierd indeed!

Chris - what I find interesting about your image is that the parts are just lovely - really textural - and it inspires the viewer to go from fragment to fragment, revealing more about the scientific source material as we journey through the series.

Great image Chris - you can actually add it here by going to "full page" in  your portfolio and copying the entire URL:

I am sorry, but one of my links got discombobulated. It seems to be the open and close parenthesis. Anyway, here is a tinyurl link to the same place:

I am wondering what you all think about some work of mine that just happens to look eerily organic. I posted an image here entitled "Alien Anatomy":

Here is a link to some further information with regard to how I created it:

Wow, a whole group just for digital bio-artists! And there's already two of us! Isn't the internet great?
