[comp.graphics] A little help on fractals

gt3930c@prism.gatech.EDU (ZUCCOLA) (10/25/90)

	I'm hoping someone out here in comp.graphics might be able to help
me out. A little background- I'm a chemistry student, and I've been 
reading about fractals lately. I thought it would be interesting to calculate
the fractal surface for a molecule and then display the surface on our silicon
graphics.  It seems to me that something like this must have been done before.
I could use a real jump start.  If anyone has any references I could
read, or any sample code I'd appreciate it.
		Thanx in advance,
		Harmon 
PS If you could email me directly at zuccola@max.gatech.edu I'd appreciate it.

... just what is "the fractal surface for a molecule"?

sounds kinda interesting, though,
