Whoever believes that science-minded folks can't be super creative needs to take a look at Tom Beddard's work. He's turning out one gorgeous 3D piece after another and he manages to incorporate math and physics heavily into the mix. Double whammy.
Beddard makes extremely intricate digitally rendered 3D fractal models, what he refers to asFabergé Fractals (like the eggs). Here's a bit from the man himself:
"The 3D fractals are generated by iterative formulas whereby the output of one iteration forms the input for the next. The formulas effectively fold, scale, rotate or flip space. They are truly fractal in the fact that more and more detail can be revealed the closer to the surface you travel.The fascinating aspect is where combinations of parameters can combine to create structural 'resonances' of extraordinary detail and beauty—sometimes naturally organic and other times perfectly geometric. But then like a chaotic system it can completely disappear with the smallest perturbation."
So, that's pretty awesome. Explore his Fabergé Fractals below and see some of his other projectshere. PHOTOS
