New set of fractal trees

A new set of fractal trees open images by Nirolo. Nice gradients give mystical glow to trees. Probably, these trees should grow in the foresests of the elves. Curved branches look very unusual for fractals.

Fairy Tree

A tree of Fire and Ice

The next tree is like a lightning. Branches have rough outline like real lightning. But it still variation of Pythagoras tree. The image was created by Cory Ench. Author also created several variations of this fractal.

The last image show us apocalyptic sunset with a fractal tree of very regular form. The image was created by George13.

Impossible constructor online

A new online constructor of impossible figures was opened as a part of community of the site Impossible World. The constructor allows to design your own impossible figures from cubes in Oscar Reutersvärd style. The figure designer is on the screenshot below.

You can choose, which corners you want to cut from the cube by selecting appropriate cubes at the line of blue cubes at the top of the toolbar. Then you can drag cube by mouse from the drag area to workspace. Cubes on workspace overlaps each other in order of drop.

You can save your figure by clicking on diskette button, and then post your figure to the common blog of the Impossible World community.

Note, that impossible figure constructor is supported by Google App Engine and you should have a Google account to create your figures. But you can see figures by other members of community freely.

Cubic pyramid

A nice pyramid of cubes was modeled and rendered by David Pearson (fpsurgeon). Each lower level of the pyramid consists of smaller cubes, which are four times more than above. So we see a simple but elegant fractal. This nice rendering was created as a further development of studing by author an open source program Structure Synth, which provides creating 3D structures from a set of user rules. One of preliminary studies you can see below.
Imagine if the top cube of the pyramid is too heavy, and the whole structure will collapse.

Fractals by Manny Lorenzo

Some time ago I've published one fractal by Manny Lorenzo in the post about Pythagoras trees. Today I would like to show some his fractals.

Let start from new kinds of Pythagoras trees. He created a tree with spheres and a very strange kind of Pythagoras tree, which has infinity symbol as a base part of fractal. It looks unlike Pythagoras tree, but it is true.

Also he created a set of wonderful fractals of Nautilus shells. Nautilus shell is one of known examples of fractals in nature. 

Except these ones he created another fractal shells.
Visit Manny's Flickr phostostream to see more beatiful fractals.

Escher-like mosaics

M.C. Escher is well known by his artistic regular plane divisions and artworks of impossible constructions. But he also created several artworks with irregular mosaics, which consist of shapes of various animals. Two of them you can see below. As you can see every animal in mosaics are fit all its neighbours without any gaps.

Today may artists follow the way of Escher in creating complex mosaics. Images of Bobby Bogl are worthy, which you can see below. Take a notice of how all parts of his images accurate match to each other.
