MiguelPereira Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Is it possible to create a plugin that renders "simple" (cause they are not a simple thing ) fractals, like Mandelbrot's, Newton's, julia's, etc... I would assume that the coding behind it wouldn't be hard but the formulas would be more complicated. The Wiki on Fractals Some images and wiki links: A Mandelbrot Fractal Julia Set and the Wiki Burning Ship Fractal and his Wiki So... Is it do-able? [Just a off topic doubt. Sorry. What's with the little black dot on some topics?] Quote [The stock on my sig is a photo I took not a render from Splatter] [My deviantART][My Gallery][My Space] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lionhearted Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Someone correct me if I'm wrong...but can't Codelab do this? :? Quote My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiguelPereira Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 I don't know c# but I think that a plugin like this could be done in codelab Quote [The stock on my sig is a photo I took not a render from Splatter] [My deviantART][My Gallery][My Space] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 If you download the entire CodeLab package, it comes with several fractal scripts. Mandelbrot's and julia's, I believe.

Bob Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 So you want to put an UI on the Fractal codelab scripts. It has been requested a lot already. Say this is my fir... err second item on my "Paint.NET todo-list when I know C#". In fact I may look at the Codelab scripts when I have time, as simply putting an UI on it seems easy. [Just a off topic doubt. Sorry. What's with the little black dot on some topics?] Mean you already wrote on it. Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiguelPereira Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share Posted September 3, 2007 Hm the fractals scripts.... I'll see what i can do from my knowledge of vb.net on those. It will take some time but I think I'll do something. Thanks guys Quote [The stock on my sig is a photo I took not a render from Splatter] [My deviantART][My Gallery][My Space] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpope Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Here are a couple examples that I've done with the CodeLab scripts... Mandel and Julia. I've created a few dll's out of the scripts using the standard CodeLab 3 slider UI but only having 3 variables is just not quite enough for fractals. If I had time I'd learn a little C# but alas, there is never enough time for everything... [Just a off topic doubt. Sorry.

MiguelPereira Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 Ok i quit I can't understand C# without proper training first, I can't do this, just build the dll from Boltbait's source. Sorry guys this should be in Vb.Net. Can anyone please make it, more than Mandelbrot and Julia sets, cause Boltbait already did a great work on those.

Bob Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Theoretically you could keep the algorithm in C# and do the front-end in VB.NET, all in the same dll, IIRC. edit: Not that I want to bow down BoltBait, but he didn't wrote the samples, AFAIK. They were included in the first Codelab, so I assume they were gathered by Rick, Tom, or another early fellow developers (Help > About...). Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob.

moc426 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I am working on an effect which uses the codelab Mandelbrot function, and allows to adjust the settings. I will follow up with one for Julia, and if all is well with that I can try to implement additional types. preview Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Frojo Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Cool! But isnt that the same icon for your align object plugin? Quote I'm still alive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedHONDA Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Cool! But before you publish it, can you make sure it goes into its own effect menu (like Fractal)?

moc426 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Yes indeed. I was almost going to pixelate the icon in anticipating this kind of comment. Icon is useless if the effect doesn't work, so that comes first. Cool! But isnt that the same icon for your align object plugin? Already did. Cool!

MiguelPereira Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 The fractal menu is a nice idea Quote [The stock on my sig is a photo I took not a render from Splatter] [My deviantART][My Gallery][My Space] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirby145 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 To tell you the truth I have wanted this plugin for a long time as well, where you can change certain settings and generate fractals, they make some very beautiful art for math.
