10 Excellent Fractal Images for Inspiration
Image Copyright: lrargerich
Image Source: DreamstimeI’ve always admired fractal-images and art from the moment I first saw them. In a nut-shell, fractals are forms made out of mathematical formula; a better explanation is offered in the following quote:
A fractal is generally “a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole,” a property called self-similarity. The term was coined by Benoît Mandelbrot in 1975 and was derived from the Latin fractus meaning “broken” or “fractured.” A mathematical fractal is based on an equation that undergoes iteration, a form of feedback based on recursion.

The following 10 fractal images only show a glimpse of what can be achieved using fractals. Be they blue, green, orange or multicolored, these digital fractal-art images can truly inspire…

These are amazing! I love the one from Dreamstime
I’ve seen many people creating fractals PS brush set and always curious of how to make those fractals. It is simply because they are always appear as impressive graphics!
Thank you for sharing them with us!

Thanks Audee.
When I used to use Mac OS 9, back in the day, I had a program that I used to create Fractals with. Can’t remember its name, but when I have time, I’m going to try get a Freeware OSX version and try out some Fractal myself. I don’t know about PC versions though. Thanks for commenting…

I have just come across Fractal art and am amazed by it. I put a piece on Tidbit City about it and my friend’s work. Yours is stunning!

Hi Andrew … the fractal software you were using was probably Fractal Explorer which came with KPT Power Tools, a Photoshop plugin collection and also came free with Painter 6.
Kai Krause created some great software. I’m still mourning the loss of KPT Vector Effects.

@ Geoff
It wasn’t a PS plugin, I’m sure, but thanks for the suggestion, I’ll look into it…

I want to know how to make fractals! does it need a program to do it? I love fractals, I’m kinda obsessed with them… Would be great if you find and share the way they’re made. Very good stuff, thanks for sharing

I didn’t make these, the images are copyrighted by their creator’s by the links under the images. However, I have tried before with a program for the Mac, They are many out there, though.
