Hypercomplex iterations : distance estimation and higher dimensional fractals /

This book is based on the authors' research on rendering images of higher dimensional fractals by a distance estimation technique. It is self-contained, giving a careful treatment of both the known techniques and the authors' new methods. The distance estimation technique was originally ap...
