Ingenious Mike! Your movie is a great demonstration of you programs capabilities. Here are three details that were generated using your formula: http://linuxenvy.com/bprentice/Fractals/Set%2016/BP_16_74a.png http://linuxenvy.com/bprentice/Fractals/Set%2016/BP_16_74b.png http://linuxenvy.com/bprentice/Fractals/Set%2016/BP_16_74c.png The last one nicely illustrates some of Jim's recent discussions.

Mike, This is a super creative idea you've had. The video of the two Mandelbrots "passing in the night" came out really well! http://dl.dropbox.com/u/33642054/image/two_mandelbrots.mov It's really nifty to see their influence on each other become greater and greater as they close the distance between themselves. And it really is: "Almost like two galaxies colliding." > rp = 1 / ( 1 / r1 + 1 / r2 ) > > If you put a mandelbrot equation at r1 and r2 with > a different center point you have it. - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ########################

FOTD 01-11-11 (Queen-Anne's Mini [7.5])
by Jim Muth 01 Nov '11

01 Nov '11

FOTD -- November 01, 2011 (Rating 7.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a scene deep in the large minibrot on the west branch of the filament extending from the north bud of the even- larger minibrot on the main spike of the Mandelbrot set. This north-filament minibrot is about halfway through the process of morphing from quadratic to order-9 shape, and today's scene lies in a left-over bit of debris in the original Seahorse Valley area that has not yet dried up. The name "Queen-Anne's Mini" refers to the lace-like network surrounding the order-9 minibrot in the image. The rating of a 7-1/2 includes the usual half-point bonus for the coloring. The listed calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes is a good estimate of the time that would be required for the image to calculate on the broken 2000mhz machine. The calculation times will continue to be estimated until I have the time and/or ambition to check the various fixes that have been suggested. The calculation problem may be totally avoided by viewing the finished image on the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> The high-definition version is at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> Visit the original FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> After the morning fog cleared away today, nothing but blue sky remained over Fractal Central. With the light wind and warm sun, the temperature of 48F +9C was quite pleasant. The fractal cats reveled in the sun on their shelf, and took turns enjoying it. The humans had an average day. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and beware of big brother. He's out there on the internet, watching constantly and taking note of everything we like and dislike.

Two Mand
by Mike Frazier 01 Nov '11

01 Nov '11

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. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/33642054/image/two_mandelbrots.mov The parameter file for the center image of the movie is below: Two_Mand { ; Exported from Fracton. reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=fracton.frm formulaname=F_20111031_1502 passes=1 float=y center-mag=0/0/0.1904761928571428/1/0/0 params=0/2.5/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0 maxiter=500 inside=1 proximity=0 colors=000511921D32H43L54P74T85X96`A7dB7hD8lE9pFAt\ GAxHBvGAtGArFApE9nD9lD9jC8hB8fA8dA7b97`87Z76X76V66\ T55G00I21L42O63R84UA5XC6_E7bG8eI9hKAkMBnOCqQDtSEwU\ FzWGyVFwUFvTEtSEsRDqQDpPCnNCmMBkLBjKAhJAfI9eH9cG8b\ F7`E7_D6YC6XB5VA5U94S84R73P63N52M42K31J21H10G00WGG\ YHF_IEaJDcKBeLAgM9iN8kO7nP6pQ5rR4tS3vT2xU1zW0wU0sS\ 0pR0lP0iN0eM0bK0ZI0WH0SF0OE0LC0HA1E91A71751C92FB2I\ D2LF2OH2SJ3VK3YM3`O3cQ3fS3iU4mW4pY4sZ4v`4t_4qY4nX4\ lV4iU4gS4dR4aP4_O4XM4VL3SJ3PI3NG3KF3HD3G00H11J22K3\ 3M44N55P66Q77S88T99VAAWBBYCC_DD`EEbFFcGGeHHfIIhJJi\ KKkLLlMMnNNoOOqPPsQQtRRvSSwTTyUUzWWwUUuSSrQQoOOlMM\ iKKgIIdGGaFFZDDWBBU99R77O55L33I11L44O76QA9TDCWGEYJ\ H`MJcPMeSOhURkXUn_WpbZse`vhcxkfwhcue`sbZq_WoXTmURk\ ROjOLhLJfIGdFDbCA`98Z65Y32W00G00I33K66M99ODDQGGTJJ\ VMMXPPZTT`WWbZZdaafddihhkkkigghddg``fYYeUUdRRcOOaK\ K`HH_DDZAAY66X33W00000000 } frm:F_20111031_1502 { ; Two mandelbrots ; p1 is the position of mandelbrot 1 ; p2 is the position of mandelbrot 2 ; time = instant z=0, r1=p1, r2=p2: z1=1/(z*z+pixel-r1), z2=1/(z*z+pixel-r2), z=1/(z1+z2), |z|<=100 } -- Mike Frazier www.fracton.org

<Jay>That does not look like fractint source
by Hal Lane 01 Nov '11

01 Nov '11

Jay, You said: > Mister Helie is a source of formulas and parameters that do > not connect, or that are missing key ingredients, like a > bail-out test. I looked in the Fractint docs and discovered that the particular fractal type that Mister Helie used (potential=) doesn't use a bail-out test in the formula. Instead it's specified by "potential=" The bailout is given on the Y screen or using this syntax in the parameter set: potential=maxcolor[/slope[/modulus[/16bit]]] '"Modulus" is the bailout value used to determine when an orbit has "escaped". Larger values give more accurate and smoother potential. A value of 500 gives excellent results.' Mister Helie uses: potential=256/200/4 I was able to calculate his fractal OK after doing a couple of minor adjustments to it (like adding "frm:" in front of the formula name.) === Mister Helie's: caun fractal: ======== caun { ; make me think of Opuntia cactus species ; 2011-09-27 post in Fractint reset=2000 type=formula formulafile=caunplus.frm formulaname=caun1 function=sin center-mag=-1.64e-006/2.205e-006/0.6666676 potential=256/200/4 colors=000000_qT<3>Subqg5<58>tv9tv9tv9<3>uxApg5<14>OpFMqGKqH<3>CtKdW`qg5\ <63>S7pS6qR6r<3>P3uchuqg5<58>jC2jB2jB2<3>i81qg6<6>jhKiiMhiO<3>ejVph7djX<\ 5>Zlh } frm:caun1{;Sebastien Helie z=pixel x=real(z/0.66),y=imag(z/0.66) z=sin(x)/sin(y)+sin(z^(2.6/flip(0.46464*z)-0.46340/flip(0.103*z)-fn1(3.1416/ z)/z))+pixel } ############################################################## and you also said: > > a.minimum := -2 > > graph3d.vectoralign := tail > > graph3d( ( (z)=sin(x)+1/3*sin(3*x)+1/5*sin(5*x)+1/7*sin(7*x)+1 > > /9*sin(9*x)+1/11*sin(11*x)+1/13*sin(13*x) +cos(time*y) )) (...) > That does not look like fractint source. mat-lab? I agree. Sebastian mentioned Acrospin in his post, so the code he posted could be for that utility. I've not ever used it. I found some references to this older program: http://www.nahee.com/spanky/www/fractint/other_programs.html ACROSPIN, by David Parker - An inexpensive commercial program that reads an object definition file and creates images that can be rapidly rotated in three dimensions.

Fractal computer trouble
by Jim Muth 01 Nov '11

01 Nov '11

Fractal fans: As I have been reporting the past few days, the main 2000mhz fractal computer is out of action and I am using the 200mhz backup machine. I am posting this list of symptoms hoping that someone on the list with more computer knowledge than myself might have an idea of what ails the machine and what if anything might be done to fix it. When I first turn on the machine it starts up normally and runs for a few minutes. Then a blue screen with white characters appears. The message says there is a problem and windows is shutting down to prevent possible damage. The message says to try restarting the machine, but when I try, the machine is locked up. When I cut the power for a minute or so, the machine beeps 1-3-2 and the normally all-green lights on the back panel turn (left to right) amber,amber,green,green. Nothing else happens. But if I keep the power shut off for a couple hours, the computer will again start up normally, only to go dead in a few minutes, with another identical blue screen. The following is some technical information that appears on the blue screen. It is beyond my understanding. STOP: 0x0000008E (0xc0000005,0xBF80232A,0xB797DC14,0x00000000) win32k545 - Address BF80232A base at BF800000, Datestamp4341deff Hopefully, I have copied all the characters correctly. The machine is a Dell dimension-8400 series about 8 years old, running WindowsXP Professional. Any help would be appreciated and would also promote the fractal cause. P.S. I have already tried reseating the memory cards. JIM
