Lately I've been making all kinds of spirals, seems I can't stop making them. All of the spirals I've made so far are made from random batch fractals with usually 2 transforms and on occasion a final to give it a different shape. I've been thinking I would make a tutorial on my approach to making spirals and want to know how many of you would like to learn more. I know these are old school fractals but once you start you might not want to stop, let me know if you are interested. Here are a few samples: :thumb299642673: :thumb301239931: :thumb301236377: :thumb306568045: :thumb306342323: :thumb302332592: :thumb306569675: :thumb306345156: :

Thought this was interesting, after a brutal attack Jason Padgett  a college dropout became a mathmatical genius. Everywhere he looks, he sees complex mathematical formulas -- like the Pythagorean theorem, for example. "Every single little curve, every single spiral, every tree is part of that equation," he told ABC News. Padgett turns these formulas into intricate diagrams called fractals. He says that fractals are "shape(s) that when you take the shape a part into pieces, the pieces are the same or similar to the whole." For instance, he can produce a visual representation of Pi, the infinite mathematical constant which begins with 3.14.
