r/Fractalish

Created with the now deprecated app Fractal Explorer.

Many years ago I wrote an app that wraps bitmaps around the iteration boundaries of a Julia or Mandelbrot fractal. A few days ago I converted that app to Processing 4.0 with the help of Claude AI. Here are the results in 8x8 anti-aliased 4k resolution. Also some movies:

This projection looks even more real in my opinion, what do you think?

Mandelbrot Mix4 at the edge — a glowing boundary where darkness dissolves into an organic sea of purple and coral cells.

This is the full creation process. From a background vector field to a bird.
