I was able to use the pars and MFR_12 formula from Albrecht's "Startup Basics Typ 2" post to calculate all of the BASIC fractals in the post. However, I noticed that my Internet Explorer 7 and Google Chrome web browsers added a trailing space character to each line, which renders the parameter sets unable to be read in successfully by Fractint. But, my older Firefox does not add the trailing spaces, and so the copied parameter sets all work fine if copied from Firefox (and pasted into the Notepad editor.) One thing that I have in my SSTools.ini file for MFR_12 is: DEBUG=4200 ; sets disk video cache size to min. ; (for Multifractal_10 Disk Video) ; per Jonathan I don't know if its required to run MFR_12 in non-Disk Video modes or not -- because I leave it in there all the time... - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ######################## -------------------------------------------------------------- Author: Albrechtx Date: 2014-03-01 00:13 -500 To: Fractint and General Fractals Discussion Subject: Re: [Fractint] Startup Basics Typ 2 Am 23.02.2014 22:34, schrieb Albrecht: > Here now is a complete set of those basic images > including the parfiles.

MOTD 260214 Border System
by Albrechtx 01 Mar '14

01 Mar '14

HI, ; today I will demonstrate and try to explain my border system. I?m aware that like in my warp system again nobody will be interested ( I just dont understand why) but it is available in the Fractint Archives and who knows?? ; It is the main tool to decide when and how a part of the image is terminated and calculation moves over to the next one. For that purpose 5 different bordervalues are defined in the input screen - 2 for the outside - and 1 each for inside 1 to 3. ; The user decides if they shall be applied to the Z values or to the Iter values, or both - whatever comes first. Line 25,29,31 field B of the input pdf which is supplied show where ; You get 3 different images of course and by modifying the boder values the actual BORDER of the corresponding part can be altered. In plain language; The position inside the image. ; The names of the images show the applied version. Also parfiles are supplied. ; https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ga15ca656jyrcq4/GJPBm1fe3k ; Cheers, Albrecht

MOTD 170214 Warp Effect
by Albrechtx 01 Mar '14

01 Mar '14

HI, ; one of the "secrets" responsible for the indifinite versatility of MFR12 is my baby, the Warp Effect. The purpose is to mofify a part of the image from a light modification up to "Warp 9", thanks Gene Roddenberry. ; It consists of 3 elements: The warp factor taken from the input screen, the iteration counter and a function, 1 of 4 in the bottom line.That means the warp effect changes with every iteration. It is applied to "z" or P1, mandel or julia type. ; It works with every frm used and can be used separetely for every channel, main, outside, inside1 to 3. ; Pnncipally it can be used with most formulas and therefore should be interesting for all formula writers - questions are welcome. ; The link contains 7 modifications of the Secant formula plus the basic view. And - sorry, already a new version of the plugin, this time an important improvement ,not a bugfix and it?s necessary to calculate above images. ; It?s purpose is to generate better basic images, independant from functions and closer to the original formula. It is activated by adding "5" to digit 7, Real P2 after the dot. ; Within some days I will add new basic images to the Startup Basic Images folder. See Startup Basics, posted Feb,05. ; https://www.dropbox.com/sh/wyz4tok216d8311/VRyWlDofIy Cheers, Albrecht

Startup Basics Typ 2

HI, Dropbox is playing games with me today. I got a wrong link again, so I repeat the message. ; Yesterday and today I posted some images of the new type 2 which are different from previous versions, as the basic image is independent from function 1 now and this now is available for the participating frms to use. Of course this version is added and all other images are still available. Here now is a complete set of those basic images including the parfiles. If you compare them with the previous versions you´ll notice that all (except Phoenix) are different. Here again is the first link dated feb12 again: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/82yqz36o7y07aah/fyxOhKGxac ; and this is the new link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3qcx3tt3q7821a3/rjfDHI11_C ; Cheers, Albrecht

I've always enjoyed your unique fractals, but recently I have not had the time to comment on them. I know you have been putting a lot of work into revising the Multi-Fractal formula. I personally think that your efforts have been worthwhile. - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ######################## ========================================= Author: Albrechtx Date: 2014-02-28 04:44 -500 To: Fractint and General Fractals Discussion Subject: [Fractint] MOTDÂ´s HI, ; since more then 3 weeks I have not received feedback or any reaction, although I have tried to make the MOTDÂ´s as interesting as possible. So I must accept that there is no interest and will waste no more time and energy. ; All links are deactivated except MOTD 170214 warpdemo MOTD 260214 border system and yesterdays music edition MOTD 270214 stress relief. On request I will reactivate a link but I doubt there will be any. So from now on only the daily weatherreports and mandel decorations remain. ; Albrecht ========================================= --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
