Update 2022-05-03 to SDL version
by Jonathan Osuch 13 Aug '23

Folks, An updated version of SDL Fractint has been uploaded to www.fractint.net. Fixes include: Fixed palette editor font. Fixed prompt/tab screen borders when a fractal type or formula has no parameters. Enabled orbits window. Fixed sound routines so emulation of PC speaker works and turns off when sound=no is used. Fixed functionality of orbitsave=yes/no/sound so that it will now turn off when orbitsave=no is used at the command prompt screen <G>. Note that I did not get the PC speaker emulation to reproduce the screech that you get in the DOS version when the orbit delay is too short. The sound skips, instead. The click due to the square wave cutting off when the note is ended is faithfully reproduced. The Advanced Sound Control features are not implemented. Look in the directory at: https://www.fractint.net/ftp/experimental/ For: Windows version (32-bit) is: SDL2-fractint-20.05alpha-2022-05-03.zip Pre-compiled 64-bit Linux version is: SDL2-Xfractint-20.05alpha-2022-05-03.tar.xz Jonathan

My recent mails
by Albrecht Niekamp 31 Aug '22

Jonathan, if you have read my recent mails you have seen what´´s going on. After 6 or more maximum outzooms to a mandel image another mandelimage turns on with similar mandel contures and filled inside with many fully colored details. Can you say what´´s going on or mabe supply reliiable details. A multiplication factor, maybe. Also the environment is some kind of fog with drops that can be zoomed in and sometimes contain surprising images. Thanks for your assistance! Albrecht

Albrecht's next image, "The Mandel in military uniform", is enclosed
by Harold Lane 31 Aug '22

Albrecht says, "Here is 'The Mandel in military uniform' and its PAR." I've added his multifractal_12 (MFR) formula to his formula file. His Mandeloid (1280 x 1024) figure is indeed in uniform, although it appears that they have an over-abundance of "medals" pinned on them... https://bit.ly/50205-GE-GIF Since individual medals seem to be different from one another, I'd enjoy a closer look at some of those medals. Here's a browser-enlarged view of a few of the medals: Some -- if not most(?) -- of the differences between medals are likely due to where Fractint samples the fractal...: https://bit.ly/50205-GE-Crop-GIF PAR file: https://bit.ly/50205-GE-PAR - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ########################

Albrecht's "Baby Mandel" - (Born Today) and its PAR file are now on my server
by Harold Lane 22 Aug '22

22 Aug '22

Here's Albrecht's "Baby Mandel" - (Born Today) made with his multifractal_12 (MFR) formula: My comments on, and links to, his image and PAR file: Albrect's Mandeloid fractal does evoke a human infant (a baby) for me, because of its stubby "arms" and large "head". The human infant seems to be wearing many necklaces, including a large necklace with a gold medallion hanging down from it: https://bit.ly/50205-Y2-GIF The fractal's PAR file has Albrecht's multifractal_12 formula included: https://bit.ly/50205-Y2-PAR - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ########################

Albrecht's "4x Symmetrical Mandel" and its PAR file are now available
by Harold Lane 20 Aug '22

Here's Albrecht's "4x Symmetrical Mandel" made with his multifractal_12 (MFR) formula: My comments on, and links to, his image and PAR file: The fractal's outer red ring reminds me of a crater wall. The shading of the inside of the crater wall makes the floor of the crater appear deeper than the top of the crater rim. Additional, smaller diameter, interior red rings' floors appear even deeper. The final, black Mandeloid figure in the center must be very deep indeed... A subtlety I discovered -- despite my initial incorrect impression -- was that the fractal does not have perfect left/right symmetry, although it appears that it does have symmetry about its horizontal, central axis. https://bit.ly/50205C04-GIF The fractal's PAR file has Albrecht's multifractal_12 formula included: https://bit.ly/50205C04-PAR - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ########################

Here's Albrecht's "Underwater Mandel" made with his multifractal_12 (MFR) formula: Links" to his image and PAR file: Albrecht says, "Try the water drops for zooming." I like the "waves" in the water -- with the flakes of gold floating on the surface: https://bit.ly/50205-90-GIF Albrecht's multifractal_12 formula is included in the fractal's PAR file: https://bit.ly/50205-90-PAR - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ########################

"Fractal Galactica Cockpit" and its PAR file -- by Albrecht -- are on my server
by Harold Lane 18 Aug '22

Here's Albrecht's "Fractal Galactica Cockpit" -- created using his multifractal_12 (MFR) formula. "Shortlinks" to his image and PAR file: The "Fractal Galactica Cockpit" appears to be the controls for his previously posted "Fractal Galactica". I liked finding an almost straight-sided triangle in the middle of all those metallic, curving features: https://bit.ly/50205E02-GIF Here's the fractal's PAR file -- complete with Albrecht's multifractal_12 formula: https://bit.ly/50205E02-PAR - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ########################

I put Albrecht's "Fractal Galactica" and its PAR file on my server
by Harold Lane 17 Aug '22

Here's Albrecht's "Fractal Galactica" -- also created with his multifractal_12 (MFR) formula. Here are the "shortlinks" to his image and its PAR file: Albrecht's "Fractal Galactica" feels to me like it's electrified. Electrically conducting silver and gold are very prominent in his fractal. This image may also show the "Beyond" of "To Infinity and Beyond!"!: https://bit.ly/50205E01-GIF Here's its PAR file -- complete with his multifractal_12 formula: https://bit.ly/50205E01-PAR - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ########################

I put another of Albrecht's fractals onto my server: "Cross with Engravement".

I put another of Albrecht's fractals onto my server: "Cross with Engravement". This fractal is also rendered in those metallic shades of red, blue, gold and silver. The silver and gold in this fractal are quite striking to me: https://bit.ly/50205-10-GIF Here's the PAR file for "Cross with Engravement" -- with Albrecht's multifractal_12 fromula included: https://bit.ly/50205-10-PAR - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ########################

Apology
by Bill Jemison 14 Aug '22

14 Aug '22

I would like to offer my sincere apology to the members and moderator of the forum for inadvertently posting what was obviously intended to be a private message to the public area. I should have been more careful and I’m sorry for any distress I may have caused. Beyond that, I welcome and value highly all who participate here, and eagerly look forward to seeing, hearing and reading all things fractal. Long live Fractint! Bill Jemison
