""There's also a *nifty visual effect* caused by the brain's visual
system that appears after watching the video.  (See below for more
about this.)""

It was the 1st thing I noticed; You also get this with some of my other viddies that have prolonged rotation sequences, like "cyclone" and "waltz of the pixels", to name just 2. This phenomenon is well known for a long time, the web is FULL of videos to trick your eye/brain.

""Does anyone else feel this 'out of control' vertigo effect?""

As for vertigo, uhh ... no, I don't get that. But then I am used to climbing 500 foot cliffs and jumping out of airplanes so I don't get perturbed so easy ...

""JackOfTradeZ, I'm curious as to why you zipped your WMV video file""

Old habits die hard. I always zip attachments for upload. Previous compression codecs made a difference; for some people a 30 vs 26 MEG file can make the download decision for them. This was a new codec, with the most recent MS Media Encoder; yes it appears very efficient. And some security suites block multimedia files (they can contane malware, and often do). But there is always an exception for ZIP since it's so common.

The MAP: yes it's cool; I may use it in future work. Unfortunately, most of the colors didn't come out in the animation, except near the very center with the pakman image.


""Pakman Fractal Authorship""

No, it wasn't clear who to credit from the initial post, I just figured it wasn't a Muth thing. So I left it open on my web site. (I can always edit it later).


""Are the sequences of Fractint keystrokes I include
in some of my posts ever of any use to anyone?""

I'm not sure what you are talking about. Anyone who has been using fractint for a while knows the keys?
