Remarkable "3-D" effects...congratulations. I'm going to have to study these! John W. ----- Original Message ----- From: Albrecht Niekamp Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2003 7:33 AM Subject: [Fractint] Fractint frm and par files Hi, I am Albrecht (Al) from Duesseldorf, Germany and I`m new on the list. I have plaid with fractals for a long time, some previous pars and formulas are available on the fractint homepage ("Multifrac"). The pars where not good though, mainly to prove that my formulas at all delivered pictures and to invite others to make own modifications. Please note my new address Albrecht.niekamp@-online.de My first contribution is something I came upon when I was meditating about what could make a fractal look 3d. ---..The 4-dimensional room can be seen as a warped 3-dimensional room and a "3d"fractal accordingly should be a warped version of the basic fractal. The way it is warped of course is determined by the depth of the fractal. Also I found out, that double iterating opens the possibilty to use the first pass for the "warp"factor and the second pass lets you control what is inside and what is outside. I dont know if this has been done before, anyway I`ve never seen anything like it, and hope there will be a discussion about this.I know that T-dis has a great part in the 3d-effects, but T-dis alone doesnt do the job. I´ll be happy to get some feedback of any kind!
