Iterated Fractals, Meet Sunflow
Thanks to Sunflow user and fractal enthusiast Don Casteel, we now have a pretty cool fractal method. Don is no stranger to fractals (1, 2) and once he found Sunflow he started creating some really cool stuff. Of course he did a teapot fractal, so I thought I would “represent” by doing a Suzanne fractal. Take a look at my results in the gallery. I like it so much I made my header of the site from one of them.

Hey Eugene, This is the first time I’ve visited your site, (my bad).
Just wanted to thank you for the feature and links.
Very nice looking site BTW!

frankly I don’t see anything special in the image that would require sunflow for rendering… But this is probably because i got distracted by that gorgeous sunflow suzanne on your gallery page.

Don, I had a look at your fractal site, indeed it is very cool.

Hey Mike, you’re right, you could do this in Blender, however it’s more about implementation than it being unique to Sunflow.

Great stuff!
Is there a tutorial on creating these fractals? it’s cool, I wanna give it a try

Eugene,
Would it be possible to append a date to the tutorials in the Blender tutorial section. The reason being that it would be easier to know the lastest editions to the list. If you have not looked at the list for a while, it can be difficult to tell if there is anything new, especially as the list gets larger.
Thanks,

Hi Eugene. Very cool fractal designs! Never would’ve guessed that was Suzanne
I too would be grateful if you’d post a tutorial on those. I’ve been wanting to make fractal designs ever since seeing the array demo, but I’ve not yet figured out how to implement it.
Best,
Seth
