Greetings. Owing to the [tiny] possibility that somebody here might remember me / care about this anouncement... a have a gallery on Zazzle: http://tinyurl.com/cvewr For those who don't know about Zazzle... basically you can pay them to print electronic images on paper. But you can also have them put your images on their website, where anybody who happens to browse past can order a paper print - in which case, Zazzle gives you 10% of the purchase price! :-D Theoretically, a nice way to create income. Reality check: uh... there are *trillions* of galleries up there, with more being added by the second. So yours had *better* stand out if you realistically expect to make a single sale... Anyway, I'm not expecting anybody to *buy* any of my images... but I thought you might enjoy looking at them :-) They're on Zazzle because it doesn't cost me money to put them there, and there is a theoretical possibility that some day somebody _might_ buy one or two. (And, frankly, *I* might order some T-shirts from them too. Heh!) Anyway, Zazzle deliberately shows visitors reduced-quality JPEG images (so people don't "steal" them), but even so, hopefully you'll enjoy the show. (I'm especially proud of the two "tatto" images, the glorious "rainbow spiral" ones, and the various "jellyfish" images.) All the fractal images were generated with FractInt. (running under Windows XP - without the slightest problems of any kind; I have *never* had trouble running FractInt on any machine, ever, regardless of OS - and I'm frankly puzzled by all the people who have...) The idea is simple; it seems that I can do disk video at 2048 x ???? and still use passes=g. (Any higher and it resets to passes=1, which is too slow.) So I have FractInt make an 8x8 MIG, and then convert to simple GIF. I then shrink the image to half that resolution using a Lancoz resample filter - and presto, 8192x6144 pixels with 2x2 oversampling antialias. 8-) Takes *forever* to upload tho... And, in fact, it takes nearly as long to convert the MIG to a plain GIF as it does to render the thing in the first place! :-S Does the converter program not use all available RAM? Anyone know of a tool that does? Unfortunately, the program I use to do the resize/resample gets rather confused by a MIG file... :-( Most of the images are just straight Mandelbrot zooms - mostly using colour maps other people have created. A few of the images use my various cubic Mandelbrot formula. (The "shadow" images in particular.) That's not just z^3 + c, but z^3 - 3a^2z + b, resulting in a 4D Mandelbrot generated from 2 seperate critical points. Currently, I have to turn off periodicy checking for those to work - can you spell SLOW? Anyway, I have loads more images to put up - once my computers finish chugging through all the lengthy computations to redraw them at an appropriate size. I also *know* I have a CD _somewhere_ with a whole chunk more stuff... but can I find it now? The 3D stuff is done with POV-Ray. (Not that there is much of it!) I'm also planning to add some "flame" images. (Flame = a particular non-linear IFS that some guy invented.) Those are created using a program called Apophysis. (Great images, but... rather buggy. And the "estimated time" is hopeless!) Sadly, even my shiny new AMD Athlon64 3500+ is struggling to render flame images at a high enough resolution. :-( It just takes *a lot* of CPU power to compute that many trillion iterations... Andrew. PS. I wonder if we can persuade Silvie Gallet to put some stuff on Zazzle? I'd pay real money for a high res print from *her* collection...
