What is this I don't even...?

Looks awesome but...what is this? ^^ How does this work?

The dragon fractal is a type of fractal that's fairly simple to make without having a computer crunch the graphics for you. You take a line, duplicate it, rotate the duplicate 90 degrees left (or right), and merge the end segments of lines into a new shape. Then you take the shape, duplicate it, rotate it 90 degrees, and merge the end segment. and the process keeps going for infinity theoretically, but I stopped at 15-20 because Photoshop couldn't handle the awesome, and the lines were getting blurry as I was shrinking them.

For this image, I did a rotating/transform tesselation of the fractal.

Ahhh now I see. I knew I recognized the shape somewhere before ^^

I made one of these in Blender a while ago.

I also learned a way to hand draw one in a different way then the paper folding analogy suggests. But it got really boring really fast.
