A new kind of Butterfly, a beautiful one. Included in the link is the latest and probably final version of MFR_13 which contains an update to the Bees frm which is often used: I never was able to use all of it´s potential as it shares fn1 with Manymods. To change that a certain incompatibilty can not be avoided: Instead of fn1 now fn3 must show as it´s function, but only if Mmods is not present. I know it´s complicated but there is no other way as Fractint uses only 4 function variables and 8 are needed for MFR_13. So previous images using the Bees frm need to be modified. In order to avoid that attach the frm you find in the folder containing the image to the par. The new version of the Input table shows the changes. To be shure it´s available there now is a 2015 folder with all posts sofar and it will be used from now on, but the old links are still valid ufn. ; If you watched the Sylvie Gallet colormaps post you have noticed that SGG048 is damaged and unusable. As it apparently will not be replaced I included the corrected version, It´s worth it!

Sylvie Gallet's color maps avail. as color swatches & MAP files online
by Hal Lane 27 Jan '15

27 Jan '15

Albrecht and I have been working to make Sylvie Gallet's color maps available in a more useful format than the Fractint .MAP ASCII text format they are currently distributed as. After thinking about this (and starting a few less useful attempts,) we collaborated on the design and work and produced a collection of her color maps in a format we hope will be useful. We have a web page with Sylvie's color maps on it shown as 'color swatches' in Raymond Filiatreault's FIntMap program. The swatches were copied from the bottom half of Raymond's program and are presented along with a link to their matching Fractint .MAP format file. All 256 colors of the color table/map are shown in the 'color swatches': http://tinyurl.com/SylvieG-Fractint-color-maps or: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/SylvieG/Fractint-color-maps.htm Comments are welcome. - Albrecht Niekamp and Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ######################## --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com

FOTD 26-01-15 (In a Grey Fog [A-6,M-5])
by Jim Muth 27 Jan '15

27 Jan '15

FOTD -- January 26, 2015 (Rating A-6,M-5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Let the banners wave and the trumpets blare! I'm back! At least for a day, that is. These past few weeks I have been practicing drawing fractals and combining them with more traditional scenes. Perhaps the most curious thing about drawing fractals is that I was doing it forty years ago and never realized it. In the not too distant future I might post a few of my blundering mixed-media efforts to the official FOTD web site, but for now the images will stay securely hidden away. Today's scene lies off to the side of East Valley of a tiny minibrot on the main spike of the Mandelbrot set. It looks like a Julia set, but actually it is an 'Oblate' set. The name "In a Grey Fog" refers to the colors of the image, not to my mood. The art rating of 6 leaves room for improvement, while the math rating of 5 shows that we have been here often before. The calculation time of 2-1/4 minutes is well within reason. And as always, total reason prevails at the FOTD web sites. Check the finished image at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> <http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/about.html> Snow and more snow prevailed here at Fractal Central today, with light snow still falling and 11 inches, 28cm, already on the ground. But it looks like the over-hyped monster storm will bypass this area to the east. Along with the snow and ice, the temperature of 25F -4C kept the feeling of midwinter on everyone's mind. Meanwhile, the fractal cats were more excited about footprints left by a prowling tomcat than the snow itself. The humans passed the day watching the snow pile up and pondering the job of removing it. The next FOTD will be posted who knows when. Until whenever, take care, and be on the right side or be left out.

Hot Tip for XP Users
by Niekamp 24 Jan '15

24 Jan '15

Sofar the fastest way ro run Fractint for me is the XP Dos. Now I tested a fast bootstick: The same image generated with XP Dos needed 5 to 7 minutes pending other running processes. With the bootstick it needed 1 min 37sec !! I found out how you can use the bootstick like a ssd under xp: sstools.ini and fractint.cfg are located inside the fractint folder. SStools path is the harddisk letter: formulafile=l:\fracti~1\frm\mfr_13.frm for use as a bootstick sstoolsini and fractint.cfg are located outside the fractint folder: formulafile=C:\fracti~1\frm\mfr_13.frm. So if you want to switch between dos and windows use the first option and avoid to have two separate fractint folders with different contents. Petta

Forging Art

This is supposed to be a work of art - composed using the Dimensional Gate image. If it really is, you have to decide, but it shows what can be done. ; This is something I have dreamed of since starting the multifractal evolution - but only now - initiated by a "dreamed" idea - I am very close. ; The latest edition of MFR_12 had a size of 10729 bytes, MFR_13 has a size of 8869 bytes inspite of all updates, so regardless of the buffersize no memory problems should occur. ; The updates are down compatible. If there is any one that does not generate correctly with the latest version please tell me.Thanks. ; https://www.dropbox.com/sh/cox67uecgnm32qv/AABuFUv4mtzaTOwA93VILTSVa?dl=0 ; Petta ; ----------------------------------------Start Par-------------------------- 35010-07 { ; Forging Art ; Bees-ManyMods-Secant ; Time 0.00.57.34 Reso 1280/1024 ; All parts modified for this Work of Art reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=mfr_13.frm formulaname=multifractal_13 function=sin/flip/atan/sin passes=t center-mag=-46.17951483390976000/-3.30116202404810100/36334.54/1/2.99999\ 999993435562/2.91488969766939832e-009 params=-0.05825983458967864/0.3785210730307932/35010.6459576706/45235.49\ 11030602/152048.0404808048/1.1604894048/24.00482000595/0.1000003001/422.\ 2000003001/768.1000003001 float=y maxiter=3071 inside=maxiter outside=tdis periodicity=0 rseed=-2436 colors=000TbI<8>PfMOfNOfO<5>KhRJhRIhSHhSHiTGiT<7>AiX9iY9jY<8>3ia3ia2ib<3\ >1hc1hc0hd<9>0ef0df0df<7>3ag3`g4`g5_g<6>9XgAWfAWf<3>DUf000<3>00003000001\ 1000020000<3>000000000QJa<7>TFYTEYUEX<8>U9TU9SU8S<4>S6PS6PS5O<3>Q4MP4LP3\ L<4>L2IL2IK1H<11>B0BA0AA0A90A<7>406306305305<3>114113013<9>041051050<4>2\ 70270280<3>4905A05A0<23>MO4NO4OP5<5>RS7RT7ST8<3>TWATWAUXA<12>TbH } ---------------------------------------End---------------------------------
