Hi there! I'm Thomas alias Thomaniac from Germany. Thank you for the time you spend on my page. As you can see in my gallery I don't want to show one spiral after another (except my "Laquer Spiral" collection), though i like spirals very much, but to try very different styles of fractals. My favorite programs for doing this are Chaoscope, XD, Apo2.0, UF3, and some freeware generators. I started to create fractals september 2004 and meanwhile I'm totally addicted! More and more i love to combine fractals with 3d applications like Vue or Cinema 4D. There are so many possibilities to create nearly endless variations... :-)
BIO
Born 1972 I finally made it to an optometrist / optician (Augenoptikermeister) in 2001. Because of the bad job-situation for opticians in Germany i made the (not easy) decision to move to Switzerland, where i lived in Bern from August 05 'till April 06.
Meanwhile i got the rest of my family down here and we now live in Spiez. I'm married since 1996 and have a wonderful little doughter called Denise, born march 2003 and a really sweet little son named Kai (Feb. 2005). If time allows I create some fractals, or play role playing games like Titan Quest or Neverwinter Nights. It's my 2nd passion.
Other hobbies are taking pictures with my Olympus C-4000 Zoom and my Canon Powershot II, and making music on my PC with Fruity Loops.
At last I try myself in Cinema 4D, Vue d'Esprit, Terragen and other programs you can create 3D-Art with. Just feel free to take a look at my private homepage under: http://www.thomaniac.ch.vu
And if you like to meet me in the chat just feel free to IM or mail me.
UPDATE: Because of the lot's of photos i've uploaded the last time i've opened a new gallery especially for them. You will find them under "phothomaniac". Or simply follow this link:

Revelation-23
Ah, the good old days... There's something about the older games that still has its charm. Sure, there's new games I like but I haven't been as impressed by all the advancements as the majority of people. All the fancy tricks in the book can't make up for poor gameplay, but good gameplay is the thing that makes a good game. I'd like to see more games that take a simpler route. Vertical/horizontal shooters can still be a lot of fun. Basic platforming can still be fun. You don't have to rely on stuff like unified shaders, HDR lighting, particle effects, normal mapping and all the other buzzwords in gaming. Sure, they're nice features to have, but if/when they become the main point of the game, I think it suffers. Just my 2 cents' worth.

I loved Space Invaders, payed it many times while I should've been in school! But when I see games like Gears of war on XBox360, I really have no regrets!
