Never used or listen about Chaoscope?

Chaoscope is an application developed to render Strange Attractors.
"Chaoscope is a 3D strange attractors rendering software."

You can use it to interact with a good bunch of Strange Attractors

Icon
IFS
Julia
Lorenz
Lorenz-84
Pickover
Polynomial, Type A
Polynomial, Type B
Polynomial, Type C
Polynomial, Sprott
Unravel

and render thme in a quite different modes

Gas
Liquid
Light
Plasma
Solid

Chaoscope's official site: http://www.chaoscope.org

Some examples:

Plasma/Solid mode (only for Julia equation)

Hoping this very brief notes will attract you to a good chaoscoping! :wink:

Man, I don't suppose you have the parameters for that julia???

Here I am!

The Chaoscope's parameter file is:

attractor {
type julia
parameters <18, 0.285333333333333, -0.544, 0.898637061435921>
}

Major coolness! THANKS, popping Chaoscope open right now!

The results look great. Very cool. But dang I keep seeing the phrase "PC Only" :)

Chaoscope is unfortunately a PC only app. :cry:

I don't know if they're planning a Mac version but I can say they started to work a new version... maybe asking... who knows!

A new version?!?! Cool, lets hope for better rotation and animation. Plus of course new attractors

Chaoscope.. how did I miss it? It's like the greatest thing since... ehm... Clifford Pickover's books?

by **Exper** » Wed May 25, 2005 17:16

Yes, it's a great application.

Be careful... it easily leads to addiction! :-$

It actually seems to have a 3d version of the attractor presented in couple one of the Pickover's books. His wa 2d mapping. I actually did it in LW long ago as points, but 2d looks kind of boring in 3d... I was not smart enough :oops: to convert the equations into 3d space, I even contacted Cliff regarding this but never got any response.

I'd like to see your LW Pickover implementation too; using HVs could provide some good results! :wink:

Chaoscope has 3D Pickover Attractor; this is an example...
Title: Time to dance

Attractor: Pickover - Rendering: Plasma
