Abstract:
The works here are derived from Julia-set fractals which have been calculated with quaternions rather than complex numbers.  The quaternionic fractal that results is a 4-dimensional object.  In order to create a viewable (i.e. comprehendible) representation, a 3-dimensional "slice" (technically, a volume) is taken and then ray-traced as a 2-dimensional image.  In the case of the above animations, the "slice" is then moved through the quaternionic fractal, creating multiple frames.
 


I love these. They're so beautiful.

I can't get the still shots to enlarge (using recent version of Explorer). But the animatons work fine. Excellent!

I was an animaton director and writer for Computer Graphics World in the 1980.

It looks like you've found a new way to slice quaternions in the animations.

Far out!
