Julia Fractal Twist Vase

thingiverse

This vase was crafted with precision, its design inspired by the intricate patterns of fractals from the Julia set. Custom code in Python brought it to life, subsequently imported into Inkscape where it was transformed into an SVG format. This file was then seamlessly integrated into OpenSCAD, where it took shape as a beautiful vase. The Julia equation employed here is straightforward: z is squared and added to 0.700 before being raised to the power of seven. To prevent excessive iterations, two limitations were implemented: Re[z^2 + 0.7]^2 must remain below four, ensuring the fractal pattern remains smooth and consistent.

REVISION HISTORY: Version 2 has been significantly enhanced with a whopping 50 intermediate steps, dramatically reducing the appearance of horizontal banding. To experience the full beauty of this revised model, use "... VERSION 2.stl." For those who wish to stick with the original version, it remains attached; however, I strongly advise against using it due to noticeable horizontal banding. Version 1 was initially created with a mere 15 intermediate steps, resulting in some visible banding on the model.
