    Um, these are very cool.. but how are they fractals? Hausdorff D > 1?

    Not to be nitpicky, but I’m sort of into fractals.

    @ieattime20:
    “The effects are based on extraction of so-called hidden fractal texture of an image.”

    It’s a pshop plugin

    Very cool looking, but still sounds like snake oil to me. “Hidden fractal texture of an image”?

    @ieattime20: I’m w/ ya on this one. I posted one and called it “ghostly” rather than fractal.

    Oh, no offense to the OP. “Fractalius” is indeed what it’s called. I’m just saying that the plugin developers just made a really cool plugin. Not something that generates figures whose Hausdorff dimension is fractional.

    My figure’s Hausdorff dimension is also fractional.
    At least for the moment.

    @ ieattime20:

    @traptin85: Many, many different ways to define fractals. Look up the Hausdorff Dimension of an object on wikipedia. It’s a way of measuring how ‘fractally’ something is, as an alternative to boxcounting methods, that has the benefit of fitting in intuitively with our notion of ‘dimension’ (i.e. a line having dim 1, a flat plane dim 2, etc).

      So it’s a shortcut, interesting. Seems to have a notion to be married to quantum-computing, same sort of cutting-out-the-middle-man math I love.

    do not care what it’s called the effect is badass…………fractally speaking.
