Description

This is more a mathematical curiosity than a nice image. If you understand the phrase "Alexander's Horned Sphere is a particular embedding of the 2-sphere into the 3-sphere" then you must be a mathematician.... I just wanted to see if this could be drawn in UF...and apparently it can be done...

It's a very intriguing shape! It has some of the characteristics of a spiral, yet it isn't quite. I didn't understand any of what you said, lol, but you made it work just fine :)

To me this is perhaps the most pleasing image you've made to date!

Most intriguing UF work, Jos.

Jos, jij bent gewoon de meest ultra-gebruiker van UF en de ucl's die jezelf ontwikkeld hebt. Dit is er weer een voorbeeld van! Wordt het niet tijd om een en ander publiek te maken? Maar ik wens je wel heel veel succes toe in de ontwikkeling van al die formules.

Heel origineel!Doet mij denken aan de rug van een bamboe stoel! Excellent werk!!

Hmmm... Jos, I'm really curious of the technique you've used here (I don't mean exact parameters of this image, but the general principles...) - this is really great work! :)

Great render... i just had a look at your web site and man you must be a mathematical genius.. I have never seen so many beautiful fractals before..... How the hell do u program stuff like that? :)... Do u do this for a living? ie. scientific applications? Whatever the case is, your work is in one word AMAZING!!!!!!
