Summary[edit]

Description3D Julia-set (IFS 001).jpg	English: Julia set, a fractal, here in three dimensions. The image was created from using a "iterated function system". This is not a quaternion - only three parameters; x, y, z was used in the reversed formula ${\displaystyle Z=sqrt(Z-C)}$. In 2D the root function rotates to half the previous angle and scales to the root of the previous length. I developed a method to do this using three parameters, (see formula in C-code below).

Source-code:[edit]

C-code snippet:

// Notes:

// All variables are declared as "float" or "double".
// x, y, z is the 3D variable "Z".
// a, b, c is the 3D constant "C" (the Julia-coordinate).

// RND is a random float in the range 0 - 1, define it like this:
// #define RND ( ( float ) rand ( ) / RAND_MAX )

// Here the function:
x -= a;
y -= b;
z -= c;
length = sqrtl ( x*x + y*y + z*z );
root = sqrtl ( length );
if ( length == fabsl ( x ) )
{
if ( x < 0.0f )
{
angle = RND * pi * 2.0f;
y = cosl ( angle ) * root;
z = sinl ( angle ) * root;
x = 0.0f;
}
else
{
x = root;
}
}
else if ( length > 0.0f )
{
x = ( ( x - length ) / 2.0f ) + length;
y = y / 2.0f;
z = z / 2.0f;
length = root / sqrtl ( x*x + y*y + z*z );
x *= length;
y *= length;
z *= length;
}

// This is the IFS: randomly select any of the two roots :)
if ( int ( RND * 2 ) )
{
x = - x;
y = - y;
z = - z;
}
