What are the main domains of fractal art?
Note: The terms used below are defined in other parts of the FAQ and this answer is only a list of topics which will be developed later. There is no doubt: most of the productions in fractal art are images obtained by iteration of complex polynomials, so the following questions will concern mainly this type of fractal art. But other domains are not neglected in this FAQ. Quaternions produce very beautiful 3D images, but tend to be closely related, almost look-alike, maybe because only a few artists have worked in this field. There are some very good programs to create such images, and vocations may be encouraged. L-system can produce very realistic plant images, or very imaginary and strange creatures, when they are ray-traced. There are some very good free tools. IFS (iterated function systems) have been less explored until recently to produce artistic images but there are two ways of interest: • Flame fractals are a variety of strange attractors drawn as IFS. They have been used by s
