Fractint for Windows
by marcusadriana 30 Apr '06

30 Apr '06

I have the old Winfract that takes lesser time to draw the fractals as compared with the new Fractint in my XP, but IT IS an obsolete software. 1. I was amazed of Paul´s http://www.deleeuw.com.au/download/SetupManpWIN.exe that is very, very rapid, but was disappointed by the small number of types of fractals available and color changes dificulties. (He says he used the old Winfract routines). 2. I was decived by the speed in Jonathan´s the new Winfract although it has all the Fractint´s types of fractals. I know that I will laways be a fervorous fan of Fractint, an almost 20 years of fidelity, but newer and newer Windows are making it slower. As I cannot even think in contributing in any programing, I humbly subject the proposition of "linking" the speed achieved by Paul´s with the Winfract friendly status bar of Jonathan´s, including his complete fractal types, as much as Fractint´s. Thanks Marcus Rezende

No FOTD for April 24
by Jim Muth 27 Apr '06

27 Apr '06

Fractal fans: The subject line says it all. I have no time to post an FOTD today. But unless things get worse, the next FOTD will appear one day from now on Tuesday the 25th. Jim M.

Tim say: ""particularly enjoyed the parametric animations. I have to say, though, that my taste in music does not correspond with him. I would prefer something more classical"" You like classics? Good man! Yes, classical music often goes very well with fractals: http://www.fractal-animation.net/vid/psychedelescope.zip http://www.fractal-animation.net/vid/chrysalis.zip http://www.fractal-animation.net/etude.zip http://www.fractal-animation.net/vid/n2p.zip .

FOTD -- April 27, 2006 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's fractal image will be the last until the first day of May, which BTW is only four days off. I will have no time for fractals until then because there is too much stuff that needs to be done piling up here at OFC. Today's image takes us on a trip into a valley of the Z^(1.95)^C Mandeloid as it appears 10 levels up the logarithmic ladder. I gave the image neither name nor rating, though it really makes a rather pleasant picture. The render time of 7-1/2 minutes is slightly slow, but even this slight slowness may be avoided by downloading the pre-rendered GIF image from the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> It was slightly chilly here at Old Fractal Central on Wednesday, but the sun was warm and the fractal cats were happy. With so much that needs to be done, I was not happy however. Until Monday May 1, take care and let it happen in four days.

That site and software has been up for a while. Look at it. Unless you were a serious techie, the length and content of the page would turn most people off I would think. (I chose a simpler way to do my animations). There is also another one called "filmer" which a few people use and say is very good also.

FOTD -- April 26, 2006 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's near-quadratic image is a scene in the Z^(2.07)+C Mandeloid as it appears 36 levels up the complex logarithmic hyper-spiral. The scene is located in a spurious East Valley of its parent, which is rotated about 180 degrees. Luckily for the image, I gave it no name or rating. It deserves none. The image could benefit from a more appropriate color palette. Unfortunately, I had no time to tweak the colors. The 6-1/2 minute render time may be avoided by downloading the finished image from the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Ample sun and a temperature of 77F 25C kept the fractal cats happy here at Old Fractal Central on Tuesday. A heavy load of work kept me kind of unhappy, and the lack-luster fractal that passes for today's FOTD finished the job. Regardless, the next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be of good cheer.

I may be living under a rock, and this may be common knowledge to you fractal folks ... but I just stumbled on the "Video for Fractint" web site. Is anyone familiar with this? It looks very interesting. http://chabin.laurent.free.fr/vff/vff.html Tim

Re: [Fractint] DOS emulator for FractInt

Brilliant - problem solved. Cheers Paul ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul N. Lee To: fractint(a)mailman.xmission.com Sent: Tue, 25 Apr 2006 03:58:38 -0500 Subject: [Fractint] DOS emulator for FractInt This might be interesting for you if you would still love to play with FractInt but can't - because your operating system is no longer compatible with DOS and FractInt. Some of us are actually keeping older Windows-98 machines just to be able to run FractInt - if you do not want to do that, here is another possibility: Found recently is a freeware DOS emulator that enables many operating systems to run DOS applications. FractInt runs fairly well now - albeit a bit slow - under the emulator on XP machines. Try it if you use an operating system which normally would not allow DOS, such as Mac or Windows XP. The DOS emulator software is here: http://dosbox.sourceforge.net For all questions about the setup of Dosbox, please refer to the Dosbox documentation and the forum.

FOTD -- April 25, 2006 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a scene in the Z^(2.1)+C Mandeloid as it appears 24 levels up the ladder, where it resembles a Mandelbrot set rotated 180 degrees. What is normally the eastern side of the main bay now lies on the west end of the almost-M-set. A close examination reveals that East Valley, which is now a west valley, has developed a few spurious wannabe valleys, making the true East Valley rather hard to determine. Today's scene is located in one of these valleys. It might be East Valley; it might not be. Regardless, the distorted midget with its puffy yellow surroundings makes a rather striking pic- ture. If I had given the image a rating, it would have earned about a 7. The render time of 3-3/4 minutes may be conveniently avoided by going to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and downloading the already-rendered GIF image from there. A very noisy thunder-storm Sunday evening sent the fractal cats scurrying for cover in the back corner of the closet. A near perfect day Monday brought them out to enjoy the world. In my department, the work is temporarily caught up. I do not expect the catch-up to continue for long however. The next FOTD will likely appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and one of these days I think I'll write a letter to God. (I don't expect an answer.)

FOTD -- April 23, 2006 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: At level 1333 of the logarithmic ladder, the Z^(1.333)+C Mandeloid appears as a distorted, vaguely M-set shaped thing with a surprisingly long and straight main filament pointing SSW. The midget that dominates today's image is located very near the tip of this filament. This midget has inherited the long straight main filament of its parent. I gave the image a rating of a 7, mostly because of the color palette, which emphasizes the many sub-filaments radiating from the central midget. I did not bother giving the image a name. The render time of one minute is fast enough for the slowest units. And as always, the completed GIF image is available on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Rain and chilly temperatures kept the fractal cats solidly indoors all day Saturday here at Old Fractal Central. Their moods were unexpectedly good however. They passed the long afternoon sleeping. In contrast with recent days, my day was only moderately busy. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and watch out for falling fractals.
