FOTD 06-10-06 (Pebble Beach [5])
FOTD -- October 06, 2006 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I see on the list that fractals are no longer good enough. We now have superfractals. I wonder why we need superfractals when plain old fractals are infinite in an infinity of ways. Isn't this super enough? After all, it already takes a super-man to visualize the entire four-dimensional Z^2+C Julibrot in a single moment of time. But who am I to criticize? I am so far behind the times that I consider the movies made in the 30's 40's and 50's to be better than most of the current day movies, which to me seem to be created for desensitized viewers with the intelligence of a flea and the attention span of a mosquito, and appear to be rated by the number of explosions and the computerized effects they con- tain. But on the other hand, I might be remembering only the good movies made in the past, and forgetting the many junkers of that past time. Today's image contains no exploding gasoline drums or speeding cars doing impossible stunts. It does nothing but light up the screen and appear puzzling. It is a scene in the Z^(1.009)+C Mandeloid at a level 10 floors up the logarithmic ladder. I drew the parent fractal in an effort to find some kind of midget in a Mandeloid of order 1.009. I have challenged myself to find one. I may never find an actual midget, but as today's image implies, I am likely to stumble upon a few interesting fractal scenes while searching. I named today's image "Pebble beach". No, I am not planning on going surfing. I gave the image this name because the curious mix of order and chaos reminds me of pebbles lying on a beach at low tide. The rating of an average 5 might be a bit conserva- tive, but despite the unexpectedly varied low-order patterns, I can find nothing in the image actually above average. I calculated the image with the passes set to 'b'. With this particular image, passes=b is the fastest, and it is always the most fun to watch in action. The render time of 7-3/4 minutes may be forgotten if the image is viewed on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A sunny day here at New Fractal Central on Thursday, with a tem- perature of 63F 17C, was ignored by the fractal cats, who spent too much time searching for more mice. When they found no mice, they turned to their food dishes and satisfied themselves with regulation cat food. Their treat of tuna and cheese in the evening was greatly enjoyed. My day continued somewhat slow. If all goes as expected, the next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and one never knows what they will never know.

Are you getting an error message, or just a solid color screen?? Have you made any recent modifications to your SSTOOLS.INI file that might affect the image creation?? I seemed to have no problem generating the image for the FOTD website.

it renders for a few seconds like this http://www.sende.co.uk/Untitled.gif and then the screen blacks out, also it freezes the console.

no, i wouldn't know how to.

yes, i looked there hence i know what i get isn't right. also, as i said, if i use a differnt colour map bit of code it works, so i've no idea what the problem is. sammi

hi paul, i think now it has something to do with the b pass, the same happened again with jim's 17-10-06. i changed the .par to pass to 1 which worked fine, then back again to b which froze half way through the render. am thinking now of upgrading to a newer version. sammi

I am not sure which version you are running, but using the Developer's latest release level will most likely cause less problems. Especially when trying to run Jim Muth's FOTD postings, or anyone else's shared PAR files, which are at a more updated level. http://www.fractint.org/ftp/current/dos/ Sincerely, P.N.L. ------------------------------------------------- http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/PNL_Fractals.html http://www.Nahee.com/Fractals/

Upgrading would not make any difference if using Xfractint. The passes=b feature has always been broken in Xfractint. My efforts to fix it have been futile. There is some interaction in the x window environment that I don't understand. Jonathan

yes, i think they are very good :)
I wonder why we need superfractals when plain old fractals are infinite in an infinity of ways. Isn't this super enough?
but it is good to see the progression and mapping of such into 3d, the way we humans perceive the world.
After all, it already takes a super-man to visualize the entire four-dimensional Z^2+C Julibrot in a single moment of time.
i imagine it must do, i certainly can't, can you ? i wish i could perceive all those hidden dimensions, unfortunately i don't understand maths and while Z^2+C Julibrot may make perfect sense to you, i simply cannot visualise it no matter how hard i try and i'm grateful to those who can map such and similar to 3d. i found this image incredibly good because one can see the mandel in it http://ixitol.com/NeoT-set.GIF and atm i am fascinated that i can create similar in apo, albeit 2d and the 3d is an illusion bought about by clever shading: http://www.sende.co.uk/Apophysis-060908-1md.jpg i would love to see the art or maths or programming progressing so that such could be mapped to 3d, i think it would then be quite beneficial scientifically, but in which way i am not sure yet. sammi
