Re: Deepest Mandelbrot ZooM
If NY1 has patience for 175 MEG download, I have posted (as an experiment, see how it goes) a 800x600 AVI of my Mandelbrot zoom to E+89 ("Universe #3"). Goto: http://www.fractal-animation.net/special/u3.html . JoTz
Unbelievable. Most impressive. Beautiful and profound. And really generous of you to share it at this resolution - thanks very much! Anthony Hanmer
JoTz, A very impressive zoom! In your par file, you have the following comment: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- All versions of fractint past 1995 freeze when encounter deep minibrots; I don't recall the exact depth where it starts. Since few people do really deep zooms, this "software issue" was apparently never reported and thus continues to persist. The last sequence in this viddie was thus done on fractint95, a little slower rendering but otherwise essentially the same. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ So, do you mean that this problem doesn't exist on earlier versions (19.xx) or versions of Fractint issued before the year 1995? (I'm not sure what fractint95 is!) How does it "freeze"? Does the code go into an endless loop, or does it just terminate abnormally? Does a minibrot have to be involved, or is it at some depth level that arbitrary precision freezes up? Do you know the approximate depth where this can occur, and do you have an example that you could use to report the problem? Lee

I don't believe that there is such an arbitrary precision bug in later versions of Fractint. In your deepest zoom at a magnification of e^89, and using a maxiter of over 2 billion, the image does "freeze" once the showdot reaches the edge of the minibrot. But, unless you had a very powerful machine (much faster than your P3-733), it would be expected to take a very long time per pixel, and thus appear to freeze up. Lee Skinner

Wow!!! It's awesome! Thanks for sharing. - Sylvie

Finally got around to downloading this (while at work). Great job on the Zoom!! Makes me wish I had the time to do some extensive animations like these. Looking forward to your next one. :-) Sincerely, P.N.L. ------------------------------------------------- http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/PNL_Fractals.html http://www.Nahee.com/Fractals/
