Seeking beta testers for fractal program
by Edwin 30 Nov '04

30 Nov '04

Hi, Over the past five years I've been slowly developing a fractal program for Unix- and Linux-based systems called Gnofract 4D. I'm now almost ready to release version 2.0, which is a major improvement over the previous releases. The main new feature is that it can load Fractint .FRM files (but not yet .PAR files), which is why it may be of interest to some folks on this list. Brief feature list: - GTK-based GUI (screenshots at: http://gnofract4d.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html) - 24bit color and antialiasing - named parameters + separate colorfuncs as in UltraFractal Obviously there are many Fractint features which are NOT supported, including logmap, stereo, 3D, L-systems, DOS or Windows support, periodicity-checking, IFS, etc, etc. Anyway, if you're familiar enough with Linux to compile from source, willing to put up with flaky, beta-quality software, and interested in trying out a new fractal package, please download the beta from: http://www.bathysphere.org/gnofract4d-2.0.tar.gz And do let me know any bugs, suggestions or feature requests! Since this is only marginally related to Fractint I shan't announce future releases here - if you want to hear about them please subscribe at http://freshmeat.net/projects/gnofract4d/ Thanks, -- Edwin

XFractint and SSTOOLS.INI
by David Jones 11 Nov '04

11 Nov '04

Just starting to use XFractint (part of the process of switching to Linux) and wondering about some stuff. 1) Any chance of getting it to recognize the various subfolders I have stuff organized into (FMR, IFS, etc)? I have my various fractal projects all located in a folder called WORK, it would be nice to be able to browse to it and get back to working on my images. It only seems to be able to see items in the folder you were in when you started it - nothing above or below that. 2) Does it use the SSTOOLS.INI? I copied mine over and updated it to reflect the new Linux paths, it reads it (at least it gave me some error messages that were fixed by remming out some [labels]) but doesn't seem to be picking up any paths or preferences from it. 3) No pallette editing? Pressing the E key with either window active does nothing. Not that I think Fractint's palette editing UI is very usable, but it would be nice to have around. 8-( 4) Any other how-to resources around for it? David gnome(a)hawaii.rr.com

FOTD 31-10-04 (Lambda [4])
by Jim Muth 31 Oct '04

31 Oct '04

FOTD -- October 31, 2004 (Rating 4) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's fractal image was created using the lambda formula of Fractint, a formula that draws Julia sets. In this formula, Z is initialized as Z(pixel) and the iterated expression multiplies Z by a user-defined value (lambda), then multiplies the product by (1-Z). The result is a variety of Julia sets not too different from the standard Z^2+C sets. For today's image I chose an entire Julia set that closely resembles the Julia sets associated with East Valley of the M-set. The resemblance is not exact however, for today's image contains elements that join together in ways not seen in the classic Julia sets. Not too enthused with the images I was able to wring from this formula, I cut my search rather short and settled on a fractal that has little in it that has not been seen many times before. I put a modicum of effort into coloring the image, finally deciding on the greyish-blue theme with greenish highlights, areas of vague pink, and a brilliant white filling the deep basins. I named the final product "Lambda". When rating time arrived, I could find nothing in the image worth more than a 4, so a 4 is what I rated it. Luckily, the render time is quite short, so the overall worth rates an inflated 823. (I must adjust the way I calculate the overall worth. The way it is now, far too much weight is put on the render time.) The completed image is available on the internet at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A heavy overcast and a temperature of 64F 18C made Saturday afternoon less than ideal here at Fractal Central. The cats disapproved of the lack of warm sun, and showed their displeasure by adopting their sulk attitudes. They did not lighten up until they were served warmed tuna and turkey. Today is starting with enough blue sky, but the wind is up, and fractal cats do not like wind, which hides the sound of approaching danger. It remains to be seen how they will adapt. I expect to adapt to the conditions just fine. The next fractal is already in the bag, and will be released in only 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be inquisitive.

FOTD 30-10-04 (Multiplication of the Fractals [6.5])
by Jim Muth 30 Oct '04

30 Oct '04

FOTD -- October 30, 2004 (Rating 6.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: After yesterday's stupendous (IMO) fractal, today's image can hardly avoid being a come-down. But a rating of 6.5 is not to be sneezed at, (unless one is allergic to fractals, that is). The formula behind the image is the julzzpwr, which raises Z to the power of the previous Z then mixes it with another arbitrary power of Z before adding C. The fractals it produces are not the best of all time, but as today's image shows, they can be quite interesting. I have named the image "Multiplication" for short. The full name is "Multiplication of the Fractals", but this is too long to fit in the name box, which has a limit of 18-characters, so a simple "Multiplication" will have to do. The frame is filled with a multitude of similar but not identical fractal objects spread evenly across the scene, the background of which blends from a purplish tone at the bottom to a deep sky-blue at the top. It could be considered a fractal snow shower or perhaps a flight of fractal birds taking off into space. The image immediately reminded me of a painting named "Golconde" by the surrealist artist René Magritte, in which a shower of men standing at attention in overcoats and bowler hats is descending over the roof of a city building. The image also reminds me of many pictures by Escher, but the Magritte picture is the first one that came to mind. As the rating of 6.5 indicates, I consider the image better than a 6 but not good enough for a 7. The render time is short how- ever, and this raises the overall worth to a 246. The wallpaper-like image may be seen by running the included par- ameter file or by downloading the completed GIF image from the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Either choice will take about the same time. The Friday weather was foggy and misty here at Fractal Central -- not really wet, but not dry either. And the temperature never made it above 59F 15C. The fractal cats accepted the conditions as they saw them, spending just over an hour on the porch and venturing down into the yard only briefly. Their moods were acceptable also. Maybe the dynamic duo is mellowing in its old age. Today is starting foggy and misty -- almost a repeat of yesterday. I have faith that the aging fractal cats will again be satisfied. I myself will remain satisfied as long as I keep the other work up to date, which I have been doing rather well for almost two months now. The next FOTD fractal is already finished, and waiting to make its appearance in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and iterate in peace.

FOTD 29-10-04 (A Tree in Spring [9.5])
by Jim Muth 29 Oct '04

29 Oct '04

FOTD -- October 29, 2004 (Rating 9.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: For today's FOTD we move on to the julzpower formula of Frac- tint, where we find the second-highest-rated FOTD image of all time. The formula is one of the simplest in the program, drawing the Julia sets that result when Z is raised to any power and C is added. The power I chose for today's image is 1.5, the value that I find creates the most interesting fractals in the exponent range between 1 and 2. It is said that fractals are everywhere. This is likely true, but hardly anywhere are they more obvious than in the fractal structure of trees. As today's image shows, the formula that creates trees may be surprisingly simple -- no more complicated than Z^(1.5)+C. Very early in my fractal adventures I discovered a family of fractal trees, one of which is illustrated in today's image. Several close relatives of today's tree have already appeared in one of the earliest of the FOTD images, the image that was named "Snaketree". It may be debatable whether today's unusually simple image is worth the 9.5 rating that I gave it. It certainly is a striking image, leaving no doubt of why I named it "A Tree in Spring". I spent much more time coloring the image than I did in finding it. In fact, I added the extra half-point to the rating because of the extra effort I put into the color palette. When the brief render time of under 2 minutes is considered, the overall worth registers an impressive 546. This is not the high- est overall worth of all time, but the ridiculously higher worths were achieved because of very brief render times rather than image quality. The image may be enjoyed by running the included parameter file, or by downloading the completed GIF image from: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Thursday proved to be the best day of the week here at Fractal Central. The warm sun and temperature of 61F 16C brought out the best in the cats, who passed the afternoon in the depths of the holly thicket, feeling like prowling tigers. Nothing special was needed to end the day happily. But this morning has dawned cloudy, and the cats could be less happy by the time evening arrives. The work is still caught up and the supply of fractals is no- where near being exhausted. Be sure not to miss the next one, which will appear in 24 hours. It might not be as good as today's, but it will be worth seeing. Until then, take care, and which order of infinity is the set of all possible fractals?

FOTD 28-10-04 (Ultraviolet Julia [no rating])
by Jim Muth 28 Oct '04

28 Oct '04

FOTD -- October 28, 2004 (Rating None) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image was created by the 'julia_inverse' formula -- Zn+1=Zn+-sqrt(Z-C). This formula is one that plots orbits. It is not an escape-time formula, as all the formulas that I have used until now have been, but it draws some quite attractive images, so I have decided to include it in my tour of the Frac- tint escape-time formulae. It is known as the 'inverse' Julia formula because instead of being attracted to infinity or to attractor points within the Julia set, the iterated points are repelled by these attractors, which causes the points to settle along the boundary of the Julia sets. I chose to draw the Julia set of a point in Seahorse Valley, where the border of the set twists into two great spirals. The shape of this set is quite familiar; its appearance in today's image is unique however. The image renders one pixel at a time, and the first few seconds of calculation are quite dull, so do not become disappointed by the slow start. The image does not come to life until it is nearly completed. I named the image "Ultraviolet Julia". When I saw the image, I was reminded of a florescent object glowing brilliant green under the deep violet light of an ultraviolet bulb. Though I gave it no rating, (If I had, the rating would have been around 6.), the finished product is well worth the time spent rendering it. And even this brief time may be bypassed by downloading the completed GIF image from the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> We had more sun than expected here at Fractal Central on Wednes- day. Combined with a temperature of 65F 18C, the sun must have pleased the fractal cats, who actually seemed happy with their time in the yard. Only a small treat of tuna was needed to end their day satisfactorily. My day ended satisfactorily when the clouds broke just enough to give occasional clear views of the progress of the Wednesday evening lunar eclipse. Today looks to be about the same. I would say we are headed for another un- eventful cat day. My day looks to be about the same also, and that means another fractal is in the works. You will not want to miss the next fractal when it appears in 24 hours, for it will rate a 9-1/2, as close to perfection as it is possible for a fractal to come without actually being perfect, (and nothing but the Deity is perfect). Until then, take care, and hold your breath.

I don't know why but I found "Paint Drops" to be extremely good. Not because I'm angry or would try to hurl something that looks like that. I was just totally impressed (once again) of all the images Fractint can make. It would be interesting to see a movie based on this one. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

FOTD 27-10-04 (Paint Drops 37])
by Jim Muth 27 Oct '04

27 Oct '04

FOTD -- October 27, 2004 (Rating 3) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image moves us on to the 'julia4' formula, which draws the Julia sets created by the formula Z^4+C. I have done little exploring in these Julia sets, mostly because they appear to mirror the more interesting sets created by the standard Z^2+C formula. But there are still some interesting scenes to be found in the Z^4 sets, and today's image, which corresponds to a point very near the shoreline of the main bay of the Z^4 Mandel- brot set, illustrates one of these. The lowly fractal for today is quite a come-down from yester- day's. I named it "Paint Drops", and I offer it more as an opinion than a fractal. The name came to me when, while study- ing the image, I remembered a long-ago visit to the studio of an old artist friend of mine. The artist was of the paint-slinging variety, who felt he could express his anger at the world by slinging his paints at large expensive canvasses. When I saw his latest work in progress, I was more impressed by the pattern created by the paint that had splashed and dripped onto the tarpaulin covering the floor than I was by the image on the canvas on the wall. I suggested that he might produce a better work if he were to exchange the canvasses. My friend failed to appreciate my suggestion. Today's image looks almost exactly like what I saw on the floor of that artist's studio. And it rates only an abysmal 3. (What I saw on his wall would rate a 2.) Wherever he is now, I wonder what he thinks when he sees dumb unconscious computers creating works equalling those that he himself once unintentionally created on the floor of his studio. One good feature of today's computerized art is that it took only 13 minutes to create. I don't know how much time my artist friend spent working on his opuses, but it was certainly more time than my computer took to recreate his accidental by-product. The 13-minute render time raises the rating of a 3 to the quite modest overall worth of 23. And yes, those who suspect that I have little appreciation of some forms of modern 'art' are cor- rect. My comment on the sad state of present-day art can be seen by running the included parameter file or by downloading the completed image from the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A little bit of sun broke through in mid-afternoon here at Fractal Central on Tuesday, and the temperature reached 63F 17C. When the cats saw the sun, they rushed to be let out. Unfortu- nately, the sun was visible for only 15 minutes, not nearly long enough to make cats of the fractal variety happy. When they came sulking indoors 1/2 hour later, a generous treat of tuna- turkey was needed to bring their moods up to bearability. Today is starting much the same. I expect that the cats will have a similar day. For me, the commercial work is still up to date. This means an uninterrupted flow of fractals. The next one will appear in 24 hours. Until that moment of ecstasy arrives, take care, and where are fractals leading us?
