here's another fun thing I've been playing with: rendering fractals! I was inspired by Keith Peters and his Mandelbrot viewer, so I decided to rig up a Julia set viewer in Pixel Bender.
Julia Fractal Viewer (requires Pixel Bender toolkit)
I wish I could rig it up to run in Flash 10, but unfortunately the Flash implementation of Pixel Bender doesn't support loops -- bummer!
edit: Glaiel made a Mandelbrot renderer in PB a few months back -- check it out!
oh, so, so very cool!
so there is no way to get around and get it into flash?
bugger
they better freaking update flash
I know, it's a little bit of a downer!
Damn I miss the little icons under the authors username, where people to fucking stupid to figure out what it was. Tear the icons will be missed.
looks cool
Whoa (O_o)
I'm getting DIzzy...
damn it mike :(

yours looks so much better than mine
haha, you beat me by a couple months, though! :)
cool stuff!
oh and if you wanted it to run in flash it probably wouldn't be too hard to write a program to unfold the loop and replace all the ifs with ?: operators, which you can use in flash compatible filters. Of course, it might run like crap but it would be flash compatible.
Lol, you said my name :3
I LIKE STUFF...
I read Joa Ebert has been on the topic of Pixel Bender loops. I haven't really had time to look at it, but here's the link in case you don't know.

Some say looking at fractals is looking at God. There's a very famous one: <a href="http://mail.colonial.net/~abeckwith/images/mset.gif">http://mail.colonial.net/~abeckwith/i mages/mset.gif</a> I think have been mentioned.
its similar to Paint.NET... kinda
This is so sexy.
Nice!
Off-topic though, I was wondering, since you created the Audio Portal visualisations, if you could port them to Windows Media Player?
I'm so high
cool pic if it was a stained window glass it might sell $
I considered writing a Mandelbrot viewer in AS2 once. (I haven't bothered to upgrade from Flash 8.)
I'm going to install Pixel Bender as soon as I either upgrade OS X or get back on my PC.
Hey! The mandelbrot set! I was so obsessed with this for a while. I made some wallpapers with it and put it on my website. Wallpapers are the only interesting thing on that site :(
wow this makes me dizzy.....and my eye starts bleeding....wtf!!??
