Introduction
Because fractals are curiously attractive, and because
they are infinitely detailed, it can be quite enjoyable, and awe inspiring,
to hunt around the Mandelbrot set, looking for a never before seen detail,
a new theme, an attractive play of colours. After you've zoomed in a few
dozen times, you can be pretty certain that nobody else has ever taken
the exact route that you are taking, and that you are exploring untouched
territory. Yet all of this detail comes from an equation so simple, it's
trivial.
Step by Sep Fractal Tutorial
Doug Harrington's site has an online, step by step
fractal tutorial, complete with screenshots to help people create their
own fractal art. It also features fractal art galleries,fractal animations,free
fractal software and a free fractal screensaver (rated by ZD Net as an
Editor's Pick 5 Star Download). Doug's fractal art has been featured at
M.O.C.A.(Museum of Computer Art) and has won several other site awards.

Welcome to The Fractory! This page will help you learn
about fractals: what they are and how to design them, but it will also
let you discover more on your own. Fractals are just now emerging as a
science. They show an order in seemingly random things, and give us tools
with which we can predict the weather, render natural looking objects,
and help understand the order in our chaotic lives. You will also play
a part in our interactive fractal creation center, designing and displaying
fractals you have invented. You can even post your coolest fractals on
our fractal message board.
