the multifish fractal
when working for a programming course in AutoLISP i came to know the
koch curve, one of the most basic fractal shapes:
an INITIATOR shape is replaced
by a GENERATOR shape, which consists of several INITIATOR shapes. with the
next iteration, every INITIATOR is again replaced by a GENERATOR and so on.
the koch curve, also known as the koch snowflake, uses only straight lines
as shapes. in the original set, a triangle becomes a snowflake after a few iterations.
i played around with the program for a while and substituted the original
shapes by a small sketch. i was absolutely fascinated by the result you
can see below...
