Further research on Paul Carlson and his "Mind-Boggling Fractals" website... However, you can skip my research and go directly to the last www.archive.org archive of Paul's actual web site: http://web.archive.org/web/20041119093332/http://www.mbfractals.com/ or http://tinyurl.com/Mind-Boggling-Fractals-archiv Note that the archived web site offers images & software for sale. They are no longer for sale. Paul N. Lee's (PNL) links include access to Paul Carlson's (now free) software: http://www.Nahee.com/Software/MBF/ http://departments.fmarion.edu/mathematics/museum/author.html I followed John's link (from a previous posting to [Fractint]) - "Carlson's stuff can be still viewed at: http://sprott.physics.wisc.edu/carlson/ John W." A link on that page to: "the Paul Carlson Fractal Museum": http://acsweb.fmarion.edu/math/museum/ gave a "page cannot be found" (This is the site that is apparently now at the: "departments.fmarion.edu" site in Paul N. Lee's link above.) However, looking for the "acsweb.fmarion.edu" page at: http://www.archive.org/index.php using their "Wayback Machine" revealed that they had a copy of the page archived at: http://web.archive.org/web/20080731092344/http://acsweb.fmarion.edu/math/mu… or http://tinyurl.com/392bq38 The archived page says: The Paul Carlson Fractal Museum Presented on the Web by Matthew Sanderson ... Paul Carlson, 3343 Santa Fe Court, Fort Collins, Colorado 80526 They also had a page called "About Paul Carlson" whose contents I pasted below: http://web.archive.org/web/20080609025237/acsweb.fmarion.edu/math/museum/au… or http://tinyurl.com/about-Paul-Carlson =============================================================== Paul W. Carlson Paul Carlson has been programming computers since 1979, and has been professionally employed in them since 1984. He wrote his first fractal-generating program in 1985, and has written about a dozen of them since. Of these, only the program called "Mind-Boggling Fractals" was for a general audience, the others being private code for private use. In the year 1995, Mr. Carlson discovered a general method of rendering fractals that produce images with sharply defined elements and having a rounded, three-dimensional appearance. He began posting some of these images that year to the newsgroup alt . binaries . pictures . fractals, and was soon offered free webspace for fractal galleries at universities in France, the United States, and Canada. This public exposure led to several hundred (perhaps over a thousand) email messages about his images. Requests came as well that they be published in books. All such requests were granted, and so his fractals now appear in seven books in as many different languages. At the request of others, Mr. Carlson wrote two articles for Computers & Graphics, one printed in 1996 and the other in 1999. These articles may be accessed through the museum's Links page. In the 1980s and into the 1990s, Mr. Carlson maintained his own website wherefrom he displayed much of his work and sold his program Mind Boggling Fractals. This is the program with which he generated the images currently on display at this museum. Unable to maintain his site, he let it go dark in 1994. At that time, Clint Sprott, Professor of Physics at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, maintained an archive of much of Mr. Carlson's work. This museum opened in the year 2006, using as source material the archive of Clint Sprott and the remnants of Mr. Carlson's original site that were somewhat miraculously saved from destruction by www.archive.org. Mr. Carlson currently lives and works in Fort Collins, Colorado.

FOTD 16-09-10 (Land of Strangeness [6])
by Jim Muth 16 Sep '10

16 Sep '10

FOTD -- September 16, 2010 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image rates only a 6, which is un-exceptional, but it's still a rather interesting one, filled with various unexpected features and assorted other minor delights. The parent fractal is a Mandelbrot set with two parallel main spikes. Today's scene lies in the chaos between the spikes just east of the two large minibrots. The curious value of the real(p2) parameter is critical. The parent fractal has perfect X-axis symmetry only at this strange value, which is the reason I named the image "Land of Strangeness". The calculation time of 12-1/4 minutes is slower than I would like. Rendering the image with passes=g cuts the calculation time significantly, but it also misses much of the finer detail. The way to both save time and see all the detail is to view the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Wednesday was totally perfect here at Fractal Central, with Kodachrome blue skies, gentle breezes and a temperature of 73F 23C. The fractal cats spent the morning watching for intruding cats, and the afternoon, sleeping. My day was comfortably busy. FL spent most of the day with her flowers. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and now that the old Kodachrome film is gone, the skies will never again appear so blue.

Metallic Plates
by Roger Alexander 15 Sep '10

15 Sep '10

Today's fractal is from a Paul Carlson formula that uses the orbit trap coloring algorithm. It suggests metal plates folded and stacked. The orbit trap formulas are appealing because of the pseudo-3d effect they are capable of. I chose a map that gives a metallic sheen effect. fract417.gif { ; a metallic effect ; blank ; calctime 0:01:12.45 ; created Sep 14, 2010 ; Fractint Version 2004 Patchlevel 9 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=frac_ml.frm formulaname=Eqn_5 center-mag=-4.44089e-016/4.44089e-016/0.6548015/1/27.4999999999999929/-3\ .77822773067748585e-014 params=1.330027161473434/-0.2296517838068789/0.685644093142491/0.7185430\ 463576159/1/256 float=y maxiter=1000 outside=summ cyclerange=0/255 colors=4DD4DD3CC3CC3CC2BB1BB1AA0AA0AA1BB1BB2CC2CC3DD3DD4DD4EE5EE5FF6FF6F\ F7GG7GG8HH8HH9HH9IIAIIAJJBJJBJJCKKCKKDLLDLLELLFLLFMMGMMGNNHNNHOOIOOIPPJP\ PJPPKQQKQQLRRLRRMSSMSSNTTNTTOTTOUUPUUPVVQVVQWWRWWRXXSXXSXXTYYTYYUZZUZZV_\ _V__W``W``W``XaaXaaYaaYaaYbbYbbZbbZbb_cc_cc`dd`ddaddaeebeebffcffcffdggdg\ gehhehhfiifiigiigjjhjjhkkikkikkjlljllkmmkmmlnnlnnmnnmoonoonppoppopppqqpq\ qqrrqrrrrrrssssssttttttuuuuuuuuvvvvvvwwwwwwwwwxxxxxxyyyyyyyyyxxxxxxwwwww\ wvvvvvvuvvuuutuutttsttsttrssrssqrrqrrprrpqqoqqoppnppnoomoomoolnnlnnlmmkm\ mkmmjlljllikkikkhkkhjjgjjgiifiifiiehhehhdggdggcggcffbffbeeaeeaeeadd`dd`c\ c_cc_ccZbbZbbYaaYaaXaaX``W``W__V__VZZUZZUZZTYYTYYSXXSXXRXXRWWQWWQVVQVVPV\ VPUUOUUOTTNTTNTTMSSMSSLRRLRRKRRKQQJQQJPPIPPIPPHOOHOOGNNGNNFNNFMMFMMELLEL\ LDLLDKKCKKCJJBJJBIIAIIAII9HH9HH8GG8GG7GG7FF6FF6EE5EE5EE } frm: Eqn_5 {; Copyright (c) Paul W.

FOTD 13-09-10 (Carlson Minibrot [No Rating])
by Jim Muth 15 Sep '10

15 Sep '10

FOTD -- September 13, 2010 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Being far behind in nearly everything, I cheated a little today and found a quickie fractal in the Mandelbrot image that was posted to the list on Sep 11 by Roger Alexander, using a formula that was created by Paul Carlson in 1998. Since the Sep 11 image is basically a tricked-out Mandelbrot set, I found today's scene by checking Seahorse Valley of the classic M-set for a minibrot and transferring the coordinates to the Sep 11 image. Some parameter tweaking was necessary, but in the end I turned up a fractal (if that's what it is) that I felt worthy of granting FOTD status to. Since the image is not of my own origin, (I used the Sep 11 color palette as well), I could not rate it. The name "Carlson Minibrot" gives recognition to the writer of the formula. The calculation time of just under 3 minutes is brief enough to make calculation almost a joy. The image may also be viewed in finished form on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Ample sun and a temperature of 81F 27C made for an acceptable mid-September day here at Fractal Central on Monday. (I'm still a day behind on the FOTD's, so the weather is for the day of the FOTD.) The fractal cats must have been totally satisfied. They gave no comment, verbal or otherwise, about the weather. My day was busy; FL's was even busier. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours, maybe sooner if I find a chance to start getting caught up. Until next time, take care, and take comfort in the illusory reality of the real world.

FOTD 15-09-10 (Way Out on the Spike [5])
by Jim Muth 14 Sep '10

14 Sep '10

FOTD -- September 15, 2010 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is another quick one. I intentionally chose a quick image in the Mandelbrot set to give myself a chance to get caught up. The name of today's image, "Way Out on the Spike", describes the location. The scene lies in a valley on the north shore line of the 12th bud out the main spike. The location is remote enough to earn a rating, in today's case, a rating of an average 5. The problem preventing a higher rating is that all minibrots out here tend to look the same. Of course, the problem might also be that I have never searched the area carefully enough. The calculation time of 2-3/4 minutes is already fast enough, but the image may be seen even faster by surfing to the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> and viewing the finished product there. The Tuesday conditions here at Fractal Central were described in the FOTD for Sep 14, which was posted a day late. Now we're pretty much caught up however, so things should continue on the normal schedule for a while. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and then do it again.

FOTD 09-09-10 (Negative Minibrot [7])
by Jim Muth 14 Sep '10

14 Sep '10

FOTD -- September 09, 2010 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image shows a normal minibrot in the upper left and an anti-minibrot in the lower right. It's rather rare to find such an evenly matched pair this close together, so I had no choice but to color the scene and declare it FOTD for September 9. The name "Negative Minibrot" describes the image pretty accu- rately. The rating of a 7 is based mostly on the mathematical interest. I put little effort into the coloring. The calculation time of 1-3/4 minutes is well within reason. As always, the finished image may be viewed at leisure on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> The wind was a bit blustery here at Fractal Central on Wednes- day, but everything else was near perfection, with brilliant sun, only a few small cottonpuff cumulus clouds, low humidity and a temperature of 81F 27C. The fractal duo of cats enjoyed things to the fullest. My day was satisfactory. FL's day was pretty good also, though she really could use some rain on her gardens. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and not only will technology be unable to save us, it might actually be our downfall.

FOTD 14-09-10 (The 'brot Revealed [No Rating])
by Jim Muth 14 Sep '10

14 Sep '10

FOTD -- September 14, 2010 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: For today's FOTD, I un-tricked the tricked-out minibrot that appeared as yesterday's FOTD. What I found was a routine minibrot in Seahorse Valley, something we have often seen before. The name "The 'brot Revealed" followed immediately. Rendering the scene with the outside set to 'tdis' added a bit of interest, but not enough to raise the image to the point of earning a rating. With not much material to work with, I put little effort into the coloring, which IMO is rather somber, making the FOTD a vampire image, like one of those movies on late-night TV. The calculation time of 1-3/4 minutes is fast enough to keep disappointment to a minimum. Disappointment may be eliminated entirely however by visiting the FOTD web site and viewing the finished image there. The web site may be accessed at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Near perfect weather graced the Fractal Central section of Central Pennsylvania today. The Kodachrome blue sky and tempera- ture of 73F 23C were just what the fractal cats ordered. The few puffy clouds simply added to the vista. My day was quite busy, but I am starting to catch up on the FOTD's, the next of which will be posted in the near future. Until whenever, take care, and if nothing is real, then what is it that claims nothing is real?
