Hi Peter, hello all,
Thanks for your post Peter and congratulations again for your hard work!
We've worked closely for the past three months on an experimental
version of Chaoscope which lets the user export a points cloud ready to
be transformed to 3D mesh. The version itself is very slow, unstable and
riddled with bugs. It is not ready for a public release yet.
Furthermore, a lot of experience and manual work is required to get from
a points set to a "printable" mesh. We're very far from being able to
sculpt a strange attractor straight out of Chaoscope just from the press
of a button. This is all to the credit of Peter.
Alan, out of the four attractors Peter is showing, one of them is an
Unravel. Guess which one! (hint: the other three are Icons :) The
problem with IFS is they're rarely made of one single chunk, but I
suppose some IFS attractors could be good candidates for prototyping.
Ante, version 0.4 will include the export feature as well as the
transformation that makes attractors easier to prototype. I don't intend
to distribute the current experimental version as it would surely become
a user support nightmare.
Norman, I guess you eventually figured out who Alan was and why you
received his email. :-)
If you want to see these attractors on Chaoscope I guess Peter can
upload the project files to his web site so they're available to everyone.
Kind regards,
Nicolas Desprez
