Here is a 3d Julia fractal with a Mandelbrot pattern that I whipped up in POV Ray. I’ve done some 3d quaternions before, but I figured I’d try creating patterned ones and this is a starter piece.
And here is the starter piece on which I patterned this Mandelbrot from POV Ray’s documentation.
I do think that it needs a little smoothening and that there are some points that are disjoint from the central piece.
After installing Edgy, I figured I’d go ahead and install Beryl - an open-source 3d Window Manager that totally rocks.
While this took some doing, it was totally worth it, as the screenshots below will attest to (and when you are done looking at those, you should have a look at some of the YouTube videos on Beryl).
The latest version of Paint.NET has been released — it’s not quite Photoshop, but it’s free and it’s got a better UI (and is more usable) than GIMP. It’s got a tonne of features, and has a wide variety of plugins to support it.
So, I decided to give it a go and tried making a few changes to my existing HDR images, mostly by equalizing the tones and saturation.
Here are the results - click to view the larger images.
Personally, I think these have come out much better than the originals!
In topology, a Klein Bottle is a kind of non-orientable surface, first discovered by the German mathematician Felix Klein.
Here is a high-resolution, colourful rendering of a Riemann Sphere. I’ve talked about Riemann spheres in some of my earlier posts.

I recently wrote a very short article on Wikipedia on Costa’s Minimal Surface.
I have been meaning to add a few renders and discuss the detailed topology, but haven’t had the time yet. However, here is a cool render of the CMS for now. Click to view the larger version.
