Beautiful, thanks for sharing it. Tony Hanmer Tbilisi, Georgia (the OTHER Georgia) On 1 November 2011 01:51, Mike Frazier <fractonorg@gmail.com> wrote:
In the past I had wanted to have multiple mandelbrots in the same image but I didn't want to do image side trickery like the white square method or use an if statement that switched the image from one to the other. I stumbled across a way to do just that using a simple formula similar to the one used to calculate parallel resistance. Anyone that has taken electrical engineering is familiar with the formula for parallel resistance:
rp = 1 / ( 1 / r1 + 1 / r2 )
If you put a mandelbrot equation at r1 and r2 with a different center point you have it. You can use different orders for each mandelbrot and have as many as you like by adding more 1 / rn terms. When the mandelbrots get close they interact in wierd ways. I made a short < 1 Mb QuickTime movie of two mandelbrots flying past each other. Almost like two galaxies colliding.
