Check out this recent hi-res fractal zoom animation by JoTz
by Hal Lane 05 Jan '16

05 Jan '16

JoTz also sent me a link to a recent high resolution fractal zoom animation of his. It's a nice one. Info & link forwarded below. I told JoTz: --------------------------------------------------- I like the hi resolution. This particular fractal (a very nice one) has fine detail in almost every frame of the video, which leads to the continuous scintillation of pixels strobing in and out of existence as tiny fractal features get sampled at slightly different zoom factors. Even Disney's Tron movie has this artifact! Even tho I'm intellectually offended by strobing pixels, you've made them so small that they turn into a gentle shimmering that's not as personally burdensome. At some places in your animation, the scintillating pixels evoke atoms vibrating around their fixed locations, especially at 1/4 speed… ----------------------------------------------------- - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ######################## From: LLOYD GARRICK [mailto:lgarr@colorado-hiking.net] Sent: Monday, December 28, 2015 4:00 PM To: Hal Lane <hallane(a)earthlink.net>; Albrechtx_Multifract!!! <Multifrac(a)t-online.de>; Fractint and General Fractals Discussion <fractint(a)mailman.xmission.com> Subject: Re: [Fractint] Fractint Operating System . . .

I am experimenting with uploading hi-rez files now, since most people have good hi-speed connections now. It takes a long time to UPload, but I test DOWNloaded it - only 7 minutes!

LLOYD GARRICK's Hi res fractal zoom.
by John Wilson 05 Jan '16

05 Jan '16

On December 29th JoTz sent Hal Lane a high resolution fractal zoom animation: http://www.fractal-animation.net/special/StarWarp1024.zip Feedback was requested. Now being a fan of JoTz I tried to examine this file, with zero success. All I could get out of it was two pieces of eerie music and a black screen... in both my Chromebook and my WIN 10 machines. Even resorting to VLC player. Shame, Hals coverage sounds interesting. John W.

The Western World
by Albrecht Niekamp 05 Jan '16

The Western World ; Three zooms into the western part of the parent views. Not quite as spectecular so far, but who knows which treasures are still hidden. Think I will go on exploring as the Universal Fractal contains an infinite amount. ; https://www.cubbyusercontent.com/pl/MultifracArchive/_67536d81761949e592b93… ; Path: MultifracArchive/New/Newgif Images nr.47, 48, 49 Path: MultifracArchive/New/Newpar\NEW.PAR ; Albrecht Das Wort für Welt ist Wald

> I will definetely give it [arbitrary precision] a try but > the problem is the Fractint memory. You are likely right, as different code is likely to be loaded to do the arbitrary precision -- and it may take more memory. However, Fractint's code is organized as "overlays," where unused code (not formulas) is overwritten by code that is in use. If Fractint's floating point code is overwritten by the arbitrary precision code & they're the same size overlay, you might be OK. Please let me know what you find! - Hal ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ######################## From: Albrecht Niekamp [mailto:multifrac@t-online.de] Sent: Sunday, January 3, 2016 1:44 PM To: Hal Lane <hallane(a)earthlink.net> Subject: Re: [Fractint] The Universal Fractal (PDM) Am 03.01.2016 um 17:18 schrieb Hal Lane: >Do I understand correctly that your four images: nr.43, 44, 45,46 are all >zooms into different places in the *same* parent fractal Yes ! >If you were a glutton for punishment, I think you could zoom deeper if you >used arbitrary precision.

Albrecht, Do I understand correctly that your four images: nr.43, 44, 45,46 are all zooms into different places in the *same* parent fractal? If so -- wow! > What is Your favorite [image]? 45 & 46 are my favorites, but I like them all -- they all appear to have great possibilities for revealing further interesting patterns. > The last one is ... a maximum zoom - no deeper exploring is possible. I see that its magnification is: 3. 0e+011 If you were a glutton for punishment, I think you could zoom deeper if you used arbitrary precision. This setting: MATHTOLERANCE=-1.0/-1.0 might force arbitrary precision and allow deeper zooms -- but at much slower calculation speeds: I can't try the following test right now -- could you verify if this works for your image nr. 46? (Your last fractal looks like it was a fast one: 1:55.) If you do try this, I would recommend: - Select the smallest resolution possible (320x240 256 colors), This is to calculate as few pixels as possible -- to save time during the slow arbitrary precision zoom test. - 1st create image #46 in low resolution with your unchanged formula, then - Type the letter "g" to give a command string, then - Type: MATHTOLERANCE=-1.0/-1.0 and Enter. Your fractal may or may not calculate again with arbitrary precision. - A) If it recalculates -- when you see enough of your fractal to zoom into it, try a large amount of zoom to see if this test works. - B) If it does *not* recalculate -- just try a large amount of zoom. - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ####################### -----Original Message----- From: Fractint [mailto:fractint-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Albrecht Niekamp Sent: Sunday, January 3, 2016 9:55 AM To: Fractint and General Fractals Discussion <fractint(a)mailman.xmission.com> Subject: [Fractint] The Universal Fractal (PDM) The Universal Fractal ; What have I done?
