Description
Summary:3D fractals can be visualized as 3D objects with complex structure and has unlimited details. This thesis will be about methods to render 3D fractals effectively and efficiently, both to explore it in real-time and to create beautiful high resolution images with high details. The methods discussed is direct volume rendering with ray-casting and cut plane rendering to explore the fractal and an approach that uses super sampling to create high resolution images. Stereoscopic rendering is discussed and how it enhance the visual perception of the fractal
