3D attractor images

The work of a curious fellow
   
Attractors mists rendered solid by interpolation and illuminated by a light source...

The images displayed in this gallery are captured from physical systems like the fluttering oak leaf or from made-up systems that so far as we know exist only as mathematical expressions. If you click on one of the small images on this page, you will be presented with an 800X600 pixel image. The imaging algorithm is controlled by a program called Chaoscope, published by Nicolas Desprez. Click on the link to see what is involved in creating the images. There are an infinite number of ways that we might choose to convert the data stream from a mathematical system into an image. The Chaoscope provides an infinite subset of those ways.

All the images in this gallery are the property of James D Jones and are protected by copyright laws of the United States and other countries. Please contact James D Jones for permission to use this material in any way other than viewing on this website. I will most likely grant permission for non-commercial use of any images here but we are curious to what use they might be put. If there is any interest in a larger size suitable for desktop decoration, 1600X1200 pixels, or even larger sizes, let me know. They may be available in digital form.
