Fractint Disk Video
by JackOfTradeZ＠comcast.net 04 Jan '15

. Does anyone have experience or ever use the "Disk Video" mode? I am currently rendering an animation based on 8th order Julia set; it is "circular" and I wanted a "square" video screen, like 1024x1024 or such. I could find none in the usual *.cfg files. But I retrieved the "big" file from the FractInt distribution zip, and it has a 2048x2048 mode, which is good [large high resolution - what I want], but it is a "disk-video" mode only. I gave it a try and it is FAST !!! Only thing is you can't see the image rendering, just a screen with some information updating. Small sacrifice. And it runs in windows !!! [XP and 2K]. And it can be a "window", not full screen; I just see the GIF files being created in the directory one by one. I can multitask also while it is running, although performance sometimes choppy. All I do is double click my BAT file and let it rip - awesome!! I CAN'T BELIEVE I just discover this after using FractInt almost 20 years now !! It doesn't appear to use the video adapter [graphics card, hardware] directly, just CPU rendering. I let it run for several hours and noted no significant temperature increase either on CPU, chipset, or NVidia card with my hardware monitor. . Merry Christmas, Happy HoliDaZe, and a Fractal New Year everyone! JoTz .

FOTD 02-01-15 (Buds in Buds [A-5,M-8])
by Jim Muth 02 Jan '15

02 Jan '15

FOTD -- January 02, 2015 (Rating A-5,M-8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a simple blow-up of a small part of yesterday's Seahorse Valley image. I named it "Buds in Buds" because it holds two different types of buds. The first type, filled with the stripes, is obvious. The other type is the stripes themselves, which are actually Mandelbrot buds seen from the side and stretched about 50 times in the horizontal direction. The art, which most people consider the most important aspect of fractals, rates a humdrum 5. The math aspect, which I sometimes consider more important, rates a quite respectable 8. The calculation time of 5-1/2 minutes will seem fast at first, but will slow significantly as the rendering continues. Of course, the web sites can make the viewing far more pleasant. The finished image is posted online 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> A mix of sun and clouds with a temperature of 37F +3C made today right on the mark for the second day of the year. The fractal cats soaked up the sunlight when it was falling on their shelf and waited hopefully when clouds blocked the sun. The humans settled down to prepare for another year of surprises. When the next FOTD is posted in a day or two, little will have yet changed. Until then, take care, and if fractals hold as much hidden meaning as is often claimed, what then of the human beings who worked out the math?

FOTD 01-01-15 (New View 01 [A-7,M-8])
by Jim Muth 02 Jan '15

02 Jan '15

FOTD -- January 01, 2015 (Rating A-7,M-8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: It's a new day, a new month, a new year and a new view of an old friend, Seahorse valley of the Mandelbrot set. The outer border of the fractal is the familiar Julia set of the valley, while the brilliantly colored inner features are the Mandelbrot valley itself, twisted and stretched by the strange angle of the slice. I named the image "New View 01" because I will be posting many more new views of old friends in the upcoming month. The art rates a 7 because I was lucky with the coloring. The Fractint program did most of the work. The math rates an 8 because it is the start of a venture into new aspects of familiar 'objects. The calculation time of 3 minutes makes life easy. Checking the online web sites makes life even easier. The finished image is online 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> Total sun and a high temperature of 39F +4C here at Fractal Central today brought a cheery start to the new year. The fractal cats soaked up as much sun as possible, though the window shelf is too small to accomodate three cats at the same time. A new larger shelf might be needed. The fractal humans, having survived the holidays, settled down to looking ahead at what might be accomplished in the 364 days remaining in the year. The next FOTD will be posted in a reasonable time. Until reason prevails, take care, and see you soon.

FractInt Chip
by JackOfTradeZ＠comcast.net 01 Jan '15

01 Jan '15

. Dave, good idea, although I would use a 486 DX100 or even a Pentium-1, as I recall Fractint ran quite well on those. Problem is, easy as chips are to stamp out now, there wouldn't be enough of a market to justify anyone doing it. Best idea practical is to make a DOS/Fractint boot CD, and if you have at least one FAT32 partition boot up with that and run it. That's what I do. Also, I have long thought that MicroShaft could team up with AMD or Intel, and create a "windows" chip which would have all the core OS functions stamped in, and still allow for software upgrades, installations, etc. This would go a long way towards eliminating malware threats. Jim - don't let the bad news get to you! You will end up like me 20 years ago in a downward spiral of depression and drinking. Realize that the origin of the Universe is by design, purpose and destiny [I will leave it nebulous; whatever you and others want to believe], and that the "designer(s)" and "originating power(s)" must still be in control ; things are proceeding as planned, however $h1+y it looks to us at times. Cheers .

FOTD 30-12-14 (Hidden Yugen [A-5,M-5])
by Jim Muth 01 Jan '15

01 Jan '15

FOTD -- December 30, 2014 (Rating A-5,M-5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: !!!Today's formula is new.!!! The FOTD is being posted ever more infrequently. The reason is that I am becoming ever more disgusted with the social situation in this country, where it no longer matters what the facts might be, if such a thing as the actual facts even exists, and the only thing that matters is what side a person is on. Today's perfectly average image is a new kind of object I recently found in the Z^2+C Julibrot. It lies somewhere in the East Valley of the large minibrot on the main spike of the Mandelbrot set. Its exact location and orientation is as much a mystery to me as it is to anyone else. The name "Hidden Yugen" describes what I feel as I view the image. Yugen is an emotional feeling of beauty implied but hidden. The feeling is widely known in the Japanese culture, but basically unknown in our western culture. The calculation time of 4-2/3 minutes is a bit slow, but this problem can be remedied by checking the web sites. The finished image is posted 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> A typical Central Pennsylvania winter day prevailed here at Fractal Central today. Typical conditions are partly cloudy skies with temperatures hovering around the freezing mark. Both the cats and humans had a typical day. The next FOTD will be posted sometime in the future. Until whenever, take care.
