. Someone asked, so... The fractint PAR for the buddhabrot is: Buddhabrot { reset=2004 type=mandelcloud passes=1 center-mag=-0.300522/-4.44089e-016/0.8079007/1/-90/-1.23373533611470521e-014 params=751 float=y maxiter=751 fillcolor=0 inside=0 outside=summ sound=off colors=200A84<20>oiPqjQslR<3>zsW<25>CB6A95874653442220000400<23>o00q00s00<3>z00<25>C00A00800<3>000<2>554776998BBACCB<18>\ iihjjillk<3>ssr<25>BBA998776<2>221000011<24>0bn0cp0er<3>0ky<25>09B089067<2>021000210<2>863 } The colors were saved out as a map, and referenced in sstools.ini. Thus it is simpler: Buddhabrot_ { reset=2004 type=mandelcloud passes=1 center-mag=-0.300522/-4.44089e-016/0.8079007/1/-90/-1.23373533611470521e-014 params=751 float=y maxiter=751 fillcolor=0 inside=0 outside=summ sound=off } A BASIC script prints out the whole thing as a literal string, but the params and maxiter numbers are variables; a simple loop varies them from 2->751 and prints out all the PAR entries to one file, along with a BAT file which runs fractint and references the entries sequentially. XFRACTINT? I tried it a few years ago when I was investigating linux. It didn't seem to be as fast or as versatile as DOS fractint so I shelved it. I'm still waiting for 64 bit Fractint ... In the mean time, I've finally got ultrafractal to read some of my fractint pars, like for the universe sequences, but I have to hack them up a bit. Maybe I can re-render the U3 viddie in 32 bit color if I can get it right. But I don't know if current systems can be run 24/7/365; they are not as robust as older systems and tend to overheat. I can fix that, but the rendering time should be much quicker since a windows app can take advantage of the full proc capabilities and 32 bit memory addressing, but they actually render slower than fractint. Don't know why that is ... JoTz .

FOTD 01-09-07 (Warped Perception [No Rating])
by Jim Muth 31 Aug '07

31 Aug '07

FOTD -- September 01, 2007 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image starts off the new month by returning us to the scene of yesterday's image. The only difference is that today's image is sliced in an entirely different direction -- 1/3 of the way from the Parabolic toward the Elliptic orientation. The result is a much distorted and stretched version of the elements that appeared in yesterday's image. The other rotations in hyperspace stretch and twist the image elements in various other ways, but after unstretching and skewing, the underlying effect remains pretty much the same as today's. Therefore, today's FOTD will be my only attempt to see what changes in the image the different orientations can make. Since today's image is not really a new one, and with only a few minor changes, I used the same color palette, I could not give it an actual rating. The name "Warped Perception" indicates that it is only our limited view of the transcendental four-dimensional Julibrot that has changed. The basic formula, Z^2+C, remains the same. The calculation time of 20.20 seconds has nothing to do with vision. It is the time it takes the parameter file to finish running on the speedy P4-2000mhz computer. On the slow old P200 unit, the parameter file will finish in a still-speedy 2 minutes. Of course, the easiest way to see the image, as always, is to visit the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and view it there. With deep blue skies, low humidity and a high temperature of 79F 26C, Friday here at Fractal Central was as close to perfection as it is possible to come on this planet. The fractal cats agreed as they searched for mischief, finally finding it by knocking a picture off the wall. My day was not quite as perfect as the weather. An unsatisfied customer spoiled what might have been a near-perfect day. But the problem was quickly solved, and all ended well. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. It will be an all new one this time. Until then, take care, and since time and space are mere subjective creations of the mind, why not change our perception of them like we so often do with fractals?

FOTD 31-08-07 (Out on a Filament [6])
by Jim Muth 31 Aug '07

31 Aug '07

FOTD -- August 31, 2007 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image takes us to the tip of the negative spike of the Mandelbrot set, where we examine a tiny minibrot. In fact, it is the most remote minibrot on the spike reachable with conven- tional math. But where is the minibrot? Actually, it is very close. The problem is that we have perturbed the view, and therefore have just missed the minibrot. But we have come close enough to skim through the outer fringes of the pattern around it. To see the actual unperturbed mini- brot simply reset the real and imaginary p2 parameters to zero and shift the view a bit. I have added to the interest by reducing the bailout radius, which is real(p4), to the point where the entire scene is on the verge of being swallowed up entirely. I have added even more interest by rendering the image with the outside set to 'tdis'. I named the image "Out on a Filament", since that is its location. But the rating of a 6 was all I could do for an image that is basically just another trip to the over-viewed negative spike of the Mandelbrot set. The calculation time of a sizzling 39 seconds will try the patience of no one. And the task of calculating the scene may be done away with entirely by going to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and viewing the finished image there. As I write this, I wonder what this Mandelbrot-set location would look like in some of the odd orientations through the Julibrot. Well, there is one way to find out, and that is to go and look. If I find anything of exceptional interest, it will appear as a future FOTD. The weather was too warm for comfort here at Fractal Central on Thursday, with a high temperature of 90F 32C and quite sticky humidity. In the evening however a light thunder-shower cooled things down a bit. The fractal cats don't worry themselves with outside heat unless there are squirrels to go along with it. If there are no squirrels, a chipmunk or two will do. My day was appropriately busy and tomorrow promises to be the same. The next FOTD is due in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and give particular attention to the questions that appear to have no answers.

FOTD 30-08-07 (Sickles galore [7])
by Jim Muth 30 Aug '07

30 Aug '07

FOTD -- August 30, 2007 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: For today's FOTD I went back to the parent fractal that results when 12 parts of Z^(1.02) are subtracted from 12 parts of Z^(0.98) and straight C is added. I have used this fractal as the source of several previous FOTD images. To find today's image I examined the chaos on the northwest shore line of the parent's large central bay. The first thing I found there was a small minibrot. Today's much smaller minibrot is located near the East Valley of this first minibrot. The East Valley location is evident in the shape of the fuzzy greenish area around the central midget. The fragmentary overall appearance, with its sickle-shaped bits and pieces, shows the nature of the parent fractal at this location. I named the image "Sickles Galore" because it is filled with these fractal sickles. I rated it at a 7 to reward myself for the 1/2 hour of extra effort I put into the search as well as the colors. The calculation time of 81 seconds is brief enough to keep every- one happy. Another way to stay happy is to go to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and view the fully-rendered image there. Wednesday was a bit too warm and humid for comfort here at Fractal Central. The temperature of 88F 31C, hot sun and high humidity kept things at a lazy pace. The only excitement came when the fractal cats spotted two pigeons scrounging on the front sidewalk. The cats kept the vicious attacking birds at bay. My day was reasonably busy, but I was quite efficient, and the work was wrapped up by early afternoon, leaving ample time to locate and tweak today's image. The next glorious (IMO) FOTD image will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and the answer may be clear, but what is the question?

FOTD 29-08-07 (Fractal Apocalypse [6])
by Jim Muth 28 Aug '07

28 Aug '07

FOTD -- August 29, 2007 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I normally place little faith in written revelation, since I can never be sure who or what wrote the revelation, but in today's case I'll make an exception. In yesterday's discussion I said that the image contains invisible minibrots. Today's image shows one of these, though the minibrot at the center is still so small as to be virtually invisible. Since I am the creator of the fractal worlds I calculate and then explore, I naturally named today's image "Fractal Apocalypse". But I am not totally pleased with what I have revealed today. Something is not quite right with the colors, which are basically the ones that worked reasonably well in yesterday's image. My dis-satisfaction shows in the rating of an only- slightly-above-average 6. Today's scene is located near the center of the large yellow- orangish object located just left of the center in yesterday's image. The exact location is easy to find. The calculation time of 5 minutes on the fast P4-2000mhz unit stretches to near 1/2 hour on the old slow P200mhz machine. But the time spent in calculation is of no consequence when the image is viewed on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> where it is posted for apocalyptic enjoyment. Tuesday turned out to be near-perfect here at Fractal Central, with blue skies, low humidity, and a temperature of 84F 29C. I hesitate to call it absolutely perfect because different people will have different ideas of perfection. But it was close enough to keep the fractal cats out of mischief. My day was moderately perfect. Hopefully, tomorrow, when the next FOTD will appear, will be more perfect. Until then, take care, and apocalyptic or not, the FOTD will go on indefinitely.
