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:

great concept but the only thing its lacking is a shadow :)

Wonderful XD tubes. Great composition. Now that 'psion005' mentions the lack of a shadow, I think that a shadow would make it more realistic.
mountmous
Well there is some shadow, at the corner where it actually touches the table. It looks like the rest is just in the air. Which is unlikely because the centre of gravity seems to be on the other side. Enough criticism: I'm amazed at what you did with it: even green and brown reflections in the..eh..thing. And the shape is wonderful. Very well done!

This is very COOL! It looks like a sculpture! You sure did put it in a very lovely place! Nice work! V (:
thomaniac
Well it's just what mountmous said. The other parts are in the air and i wanted it to be unlikely. As the whole object already lies in a shadow it doesn't produce a strong one. The great thing of rendering programs in my opinion is that you can design things which are impossible to realize in reality. Kind regards, Thomas

Very cool..looks like a nice sculpture! Great composition V :)

Shadow or not, it is a very fotorealistic image of a fractal. Superb quality, I like it a lot! V

For me the fact that this weird and wonderful thingy is balanced unnaturally, and set against the very realistic background (wow, a weathered deck, just like mine!) gives it a tension (anticipation?), which makes it even more weird and wonderful. Super job.

Great work Thom!

Funky man, funky...

This would be amazing to build and then hang from a tree branch! Astonishing sense of reality.

Super image. Well done!

Unique and interesting design! Superb color combination and lighting, they are perfect and highlight your work showing off the details of your image.
