Today's post is a 3D zoom into Terraces_of_Fire, Jim Muth's FOTD for June 6, 2010. This fractal has interesting steps and little structures that look like bleachers. The coloring method is TDIS which enhances the step effect. Here is a link to an image from inside the fractal: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/33642054/image/terraces_of_fire_3d.jpg I also made a Quicktime animation (10 sec, 9.6 Mb) that flies down one of the valleys: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/33642054/image/terraces_of_fire_720p.mov It took Fracton 57 hours to make the model on my 2 core PowerPC Mac. The 3D image and animation are rendered in Cheetah 3D. Here is a link to Jim's original web page of the fractal: http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/June10/060610.html -- Mike Frazier www.fracton.org

You need a faster Mac!

The flight's nice. Might look more fractal if you could give the srufaces some kind of "fractal-looking" texture in Cheetah 3D. -- David gnome@hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community http://clanjones.org/david/ http://dancing-treefrog.deviantart.com/
happy that someone care about making mathematical univers 3d... iit's actually 2d x 256 color dimension mostly all slow also happy not to be left alone with a Jim Muth in effervescence.... going to be optic fibered tomorrow 2012/8/4 david <gnome@hawaii.rr.com>

You are correct that the model is a 2D fractal. The height of the model is determined by the index that is used to calculate the color. In FractInt the indexes can go up to 10,000,000 I think. The coloring method determines how the index gets generated. It can be the iteration count, real, imag, etc. It is true that the indexes get assigned to 256 colors by linear, log, or square root mapping. So the model can have a lot more than 256 layers but some will be the same color. -- Mike Frazier www.fracton.org

My main Mac is a newer 8 core one that is about 5x faster. For those really long jobs, I use the old one that has been moved to the basement. When I run Fracton on the main computer, it makes the computer sluggish when doing other things. Maybe next year it will be time to upgrade to a 16 core computer if its not too expensive. The current Mac models only go up to 12 cores which doesn't seem like a big enough difference to justify the expense. I was kind of going for the non-fractal look on that image. The zoomed out view is very fractal like. I didn't show it because I didn't want to reveal the path of the movie. I liked Jim's original colors so I didn't change it. -- Mike Frazier www.fracton.org
