These are not fractals! Each image that you see is a map of the probability that a point (x,y) lies on the pixel canvas, and the points are calculated as follows:

x' = sin(a * y) - cos(b * x)
y' = sin(c * x) - cos(d * y)

These might best be referred to as Peter de Jong Attractors.

The program used to render these images is Fyre, written by Micah Dowty and David Trowbridge. It is open-source and available for use on many platforms. It can be found at navi.cx or by accessing this fyre.navi.cx.

If you have a picture that was made with the help of Fyre but isn't listed in my Favourites, then please send me a link so that I can include it for everyone else to see (of course, it has to already be somewhere on deviantART!).

As per the licensing agreement which accompanies the images in this gallery, I request attribution in the form of my name cited as the author of the originating work, coupled with a link to this page—failure to abide by this criterion breaches copyrights and goes against deviantART policies. Read the relevant FAQ entries and understand the license before preparing any derivate works.

Thank you.
