nice screen saver...lol

Så här kan det se ut när man kliver ur kosmoskatedralen och ner i habsburgska oceanen.

Is the source code available?

That would be nice to make as a woodcarving, or even from plastic. Small ones could be worn as tie clips or brooches. I get 5% for the idea, OK?

[RJLeffmann]

Deal. Get back to me when you've taken care of all the practicalities :)

[usenetposts]

LOL.

[goodvibrato]

How would that make a tie clip?

[usenetposts]

If I tell you, you'll only go and patent it before I can get my finger out and do it!

[TaperedBlast]

Most interesting.

nicely done! would you mind telling us the julia parameter and the orientation of the intersecting hyper-plane?

[RJLeffmann]

The 3-space and quaternion space intersected each other at K = 0 such that each point (x, y, z) in 3-space was simply mapped to (x, y, z, 0) in quaternion space, and the Julia parameter was somewhere in the neighborhood of (-0.75, -0.5, 0, 0).

Thanks for your comment!

to me runs in about 20 fps

[BryChe87]

How many frames per second is this animation made in?

[RJLeffmann]

The original animation is 30 frames per second. As far as I know, YouTube will replay all animations in either 25 or 30 frames per second, regardless.

[synaps555]

nice,

is that realtime rendered??

[RJLeffmann]

Each frame took about 3 seconds to render on an old AMD Athlon 1200. Optimized for a modern processor the same animation could probably run at around 10 frames per second.
