In recent fractint mailing lists there
were postings about the TMan1
(Russ Wallsmith, tweaked by Jim Muth), and
Sylvie Gallet's
"rising lake" effect. I have figured how to animate them
both;
they are currently rendering right now and should be posted on
my
site in a few days or so. They look 2B seriously cool.
Lee Skinner
also posted 4 PAR formulas in the last mailing,
one of them, "Cave of the
Fire Pit" is awesome! If you didn't check
it out, do it!
I rendered it at 1600x1200,
printed out a hardcopy, and hung
it up on my wall - I don't often do
that.
I really see a view from the air of a shallow Carribean sea
dotted
with little islands. In the middle is a gaping black hole,
as if an asteroid
had just impacted, with a definite 3D appearance
and a wall/cliff (tidal
wave?) next to it. And fire spewing out
of it like there would be. Now if I
could animate the fire w/o affecting the rest
of it ...
