FOTD -- March 12, 2006 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a scene near the tip of a filament of a bud on the northwest shoreline of the main bay of a midget that lies far out on the negative X-axis of the Mandelbrot set. Now that we know what the image is, we can get down to analyzing it. Facing facts honestly, we see an image the likes of which has been seen many times before. Being an honest person, I have neither named nor rated the image. The image requires arbitrary precision math, but despite this, it renders in under 13 minutes, even on my tired-out decrepit old clunker of a computer, which was outdated 10 years ago. For the convenience of those who do not render, the completed GIF image of the scene is available on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A repeat of a perfect day here at Old Fractal Central kept the fractal cats contented on Saturday. I myself would have been more contented if there had been a bit less stuff to do. Due to even more stuff that will need to be done over the next several days, the next FOTD will not appear until Wednesday March 15. Until then, take care, and who knows which side is right.

Fractint version 20.04 patch 4
by Jonathan Osuch 12 Mar '06

12 Mar '06

Patch 4 to Fractint version 20.04 is now available on the developer's web site: www.fractint.org Here's what's new: Added minor changes so that Xfractint would compile under Cygwin. Added lines to the Xfractint makefile (commented out) for compiling in a 64-bit environment. Fixed Xfractint so that built in calls to a different map file would work. Modified the logic for calculating when to switch from using a grid to using the on-the-fly calculation of an image's pixels. This affects how large an image can be made when using integer math. The switch is now made when (xdots + ydots) * sizeof(long) > 32768. Pulled the WinFract version 18.21 source into the CVS repository source tree. This code now runs but still has many many bugs. The executable for WinFract is still being kept in the experimental directory for now. I did not make a diff for this patch, but I did upload the source files. Note that the float-only and Allegro based code are not up to date. Jonathan

Re: 3D fractals

After retrieving the old altern.map and a non-FP version of fractint from my ancient archives I was finally able to get these to render. They take a l.o.n.g. time. Interesting images, but they are not quite what I am looking for. Thanx anyway Guy. If NY1 interested I have posted the images on my server: http://www.fractal-animation.net/3d.zip It is 1 MEG file. BTW, I have just paid $129 for the current UltraFractal, I want to check it out see what everyone else is so excited about. It is supposed to be fractint compatible, but it gets half way thru my fractint PAR then chokes. It is also supposed to render in batch mode. I am (was?) hoping to redo some of my animations in 32-bit color. Maybe I try ChaosPro now. JoTz

FOTD 11-03-06 (FOTD for 11-03-06 [Not Rated])

FOTD -- March 11, 2006 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The tension continues to increase here at Old Fractal Central as the time of the move to the New Fractal Central grows ever nearer. Fractal lady and I find ourselves snapping at each other over things that normally would pass hardly noticed. So far, the tension has not rubbed off on the fractal cats, who most likely consider humans silly creatures anyway. Today's image takes us 343 levels up the logarithmic ladder to check a Julia set of the Z^(1.3)+C fractal as it appears there. The Mandeloid at this level resembles an upside-down teardrop with a few minor buds scattered around the edges of the main teardrop bay. The corresponding point of today's Julia set is located in the center of the narrow southern part of the large teardrop-shaped bay. Most of the image consists of inside points brought to life by the 'bof61' inside fill. Several of the other active inside fills also work with today's image, but the 'bof61' fill works best. As has been the case so often lately, I neither named nor rated today's image. I have no excuse. I just didn't feel inspired. But named or not, the image calculates in 12-2/3 minutes on my tired old computer. And it is also posted on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> from where it may quickly and easily be downloaded. A record high temperature of 77F 25C here at Old Fractal Central on Friday, combined with bright sun, greatly pleased the fractal cats, who were in the yard from 10:30am until sunset. Strangely enough, only the friendly black cat from two doors up the hill showed up for a visit. When the duo finally came inside, they were ready to settle for the night. My day was continued very busy. The next in the long series of FOTD images will appear in 24 hours. After that, I will probably have to miss a few days. Until tomorrow, take care, and be one.

FOTD 10-03-06 (FOTD for 10-03-06 [4])
by Jim Muth 10 Mar '06

10 Mar '06

FOTD -- March 10, 2006 (Rating 4) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Moving to a new home is always a stressful thing, so yesterday when fractal lady commented something about the sorry state of the world and the Middle East in particular, I was in a testy mood and wisely gave no reply. What could I say. As I see it, mankind is wandering in the dark, hamstrung as he is by myth-based religions that can demon- strate none of the supernatural things they teach, and which generate more violence than spirituality; and confused by a material-based science that has yet to satisfactorily answer the most basic question -- the question of what we are. At least there is no question about fractals. They are the things numbers do when no one is looking. I will leave it to someone else to determine exactly what numbers are. Today's image, for example, is a Julia set of the Z^(1.1)+C Mandeloid as it appears 555 levels up the log spiral. Because of its simplicity, I have rated it at a 4. I considered giving it a name with the prefix 'penta' but finally decided that it is not worth a name. The catalog date will have to suffice. The render time of under 2-1/2 minutes is about equal to the time required to go online and download the finished GIF image from the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A spring-like day, with hazy sun, light winds and a temperature of 61F 16C kept the fractal cats contented here at Old Fractal Central on Thursday. An extra serving of tuna made their day complete. My day was completely filled with work, but not so much as to preclude a few minutes at the fractal machine. If all goes well, which is not at all certain, the next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until next time, take care, and be ready for whatever comes your way.

FOTD 09-03-06 (Caterpillar Fractal [6])
by Jim Muth 09 Mar '06

09 Mar '06

FOTD -- March 09, 2006 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: For some reason, today's image reminded me of a caterpillar, so I named it "Caterpillar Fractal". The rating of a 6 is just a little above average. The image is almost a Julia set of the Z^(1.5)+C Mandeloid. It is not a true Julia set because I have rotated the slice a small bit from the true Julia orientation. The rotation is less than one degree, but to see the difference such a small rotation can make, change the four p1 and p2 parameters to 90. This will show the true Julia set. The render time of 16-1/2 minutes is slow enough to make the download of the finished image worth the slight effort of visiting the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A fine late winter day on Wednesday here at Old Fractal Central pleased the aging fractal cats. Partly cloudy skies with a temperature of 50F 10C and little wind made conditions in the yard quite pleasant. The duo spent over two hours outside, watching for intruding cats. Meanwhile, inside, the work was heavy, but was kept under strict control by me. The next FOTD fractal is expected in 24 hours. And unless something arises that would prevent it, the fractal actually will appear as scheduled. Until that awesome moment arrives, take care, and don't get awe-struck too soon.

FOTD 08-03-06 (No Name Or Rating)
by Jim Muth 08 Mar '06

08 Mar '06

FOTD -- March 08, 2006 (Un-Rated) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's minimalist fractal is neither named nor rated. And it's a good thing I didn't rate it; the rating would have been truly humiliating. As for a name, I gave it no thought. The image is a Julia set of the Z^(1.1)+C Mandeloid as it appears 555 levels up the log ladder. With a render time of under 7 seconds, it is one of the fastest of all time. The included parameter file might move faster than light, but it certainly does not finish before it starts. As always, the completed GIF image of today's FOTD is available on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A sunny and only slightly chilly late winter day gave the fractal cats much to enjoy here at Old Fractal Central on Tuesday. They spent over two hours in the yard, on watch for the other cats in the neighborhood. For me it was a day of much work and little fun, but in the end I had found a skeletal fractal. That fractal appears as today's FOTD. Tomorrow's fractal is already in existence, and it will be at least a little better than today's. Until then, take care, and beware of the easy answers.

FOTD 07-03-06 (No Name Or Rating)

FOTD -- March 07, 2006 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I really enjoy fractal trees, and today's image is a fine example of a fractal tree. Actually, the image shows part of a 'figure 8' Julia set of the Z^(1.5)+C Mandeloid as it appears PI levels *down* the log ladder. The same image could be calculated in a little over half the time by the 'JuliaMiN' formula, since setting the p2 parameter of the JuliaBC formula to minus-PI is the same as calculating (-Z)^(1.5)+C, which is what the JuliaMiN formula does. But under 4 minutes is not too unreasonable a time to wait for a tree to grow, so I let the JuliaBC formula do the job. As has been the case so often recently, I gave the image no name and no rating. If I had named and rated it, I would have chosen a name something like "Monkey Puzzle Tree" and a rating around 6. These fractal trees are far too plentiful and far too easily found to rate much higher. For the benefit of time-pressed fractalists, the finished GIF image is available for viewing on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A partly cloudy chilly day with the threat of rain or snow kept the fractal cats safely indoors all day Monday here at Old Fractal Central. A bit of extra tuna kept them happy. My day was continued busy, but somehow we managed to keep things under control. Unless something unexpected happens, the next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and what ever happened to rock-solid reality?

FOTD -- March 03, 2006 (Not Rated) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's FOTD will be the last until next Tuesday, March 07. Have no fear, the FOTD will return on schedule at that time. Today's very fast image takes us to the 555th level of the Z^(1.1)+C fractal, where we find a starburst-like Julia set. Since I put almost no effort into the image, I could give it neither name nor rating. The render time of 37-1/2 seconds shows how little time I devoted to today's FOTD image. The finished GIF image is available as always on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Cloudy skies, occasional showers of rain, and a temperature of 39F 4C kept the fractal cats confined indoors here at Old Fractal Central on Thursday. Their moods were hard to determine however, since they did little but sleep and eat. My mood was grouchy, due to too much work and too little time. But somehow the fractal managed to get itself found. In a like manner, the next fractal will also manage to be found, but not for 4 days. Until this same time four days from now, wax philo- sophic if you can find him.
