I still can hardly believe that I'm seeing this stuff... here are more fibrot/nautibroid images: -------------------------startparfile----------------------------- The_Jungle { ; Version 2002 Patchlevel 5 reset=2002 type=formula formulafile=dcls4.frm formulaname=Fibrot1 passes=3 center-mag=1.32611/-0.0253659/7.041667 params=0/2/1/0 float=y maxiter=300 colors=000ruonsjQdrLdtblU<3>Mb8<3>LQ8KM8KJ8<2>I88H44G00<3>TA5WD6\ ZF7aI8eLAhMBiODjQF<3>qeBriAtm9vq8xu7zz5zz4zz3<4>zj4zg4zc4<3>zS5z\ P5zL6zI6zE6wE6tD6<6>vAIv9Kv9M<3>x7Sy7Uy6Wz6Yz5_<3>f5Ma5IW4E<2>_4\ H<3>P3DN2CK2A<3>805G0BO0G<3>g0Ul0Xq0`v0d<2>y0fz0gy0h<3>u1mt1ns1o\ r2q<2>v2u<3>c5eZ6`U6X<2>F9LAAG7FO4KW0Qc<3>5Xc6Zc7`c7aa7c_7eY<3>F\ cgHciJbl<3>S_v<3>civflvinvlqvotvsww<2>zzz<3>rwzovzhsw<3>Gch8_d8X\ a<3>8JP8FL8CI<4>XCAaB9fB7<3>zA0<13>SA1QA1NA1<3>D92<6>UXAW`BYcC<3\

The Jungle reuses the Lee Skinner map I borrowed earlier. Great map Lee, but I'll be glad when I"ve got a grip on the pallet tools... is there a tutorial for that anywhere? La Concha uses a throughly generalized formula, the MandelbroidG. The frm3 option was intended to toggle from 'ident' to 'abs' so to view the 'naked' fractal (i.e., absent the field lines), but of course it turns out to offer a bit more than that... Let p4=2; then p1=p2=p3=1 and fm1=fm2=fm3=ident generates the Mset. -------------------------startparfile----------------------------- La_Concha { ; Version 2002 Patchlevel 5 reset=2002 type=formula formulafile=dcls4.frm formulaname=NautibroidG function=conj/cabs/ident passes=3 center-mag=-0.843279/0.34679/0.51358 params=5/1/3/1/-1/0/2.618/0 float=y maxiter=300 outside=imag colors=653xwulHICXNwuIDCTjCRATl653xwulHICXNwuIDCTjCRATlccc<238>c\ cc } --------------------------endparfile------------------------------ It still blows my socks off to realize that just a few tweaks ago La_Concha was the Mandelbrot set!!! Finally, there's the device of putting d=pixel^2 into the M-set iteration loop like so: z=z^2 + c + p1*d. This induces the Mset's shy twin to fly in from infinity. It works in the MetaNaut formula as well: -------------------------startparfile----------------------------- Hummingbrot { ; Version 2002 Patchlevel 5 reset=2002 type=formula formulafile=dcls4.frm formulaname=metanaut passes=1 center-mag=-2.77783/-1.41777/0.1529238 params=4/1/0.707/0.707/2/0 float=y maxiter=300 colors=000z00zW0zj00W000zk0kW0Wc00z00zW0zj00W000zk0kW0Wc00z00zW0\ zj00W000zk0kW0Wc00z00zW0zj00W000zk0kW0Wc00z00zW0zj00W000zk0kW0Wc\ 00z00zW0zj00W000zk0kW0Wc00z00zW0zj00W000zk0kW0Wc00z00zW0zj00W000\ zk0kW0Wc00z00zW0zj00W000zk0kW0Wc00z00zW0zj00W000zk0kW0Wc00z00zW0\ zj00W000zk0kW0Wc00z00zW0zj00W000zk0kW0Wc00z00zW0zj00W000zk0kW0Wc\ 00z00zW0zj00W000zk0kW0Wc00z00zW0zj00W000zk0kW0Wc00z00zW0zj00W000\ zk0kW0Wc00z00zW0zj00W000zk0kW0Wc00z00zW0zj00W000zk0kW0Wc00z00zW0\ zj00W000zk0kW0Wc00z00zW0zj00W000zk0kW0Wc00z00zW0zj00W000zk0kW0Wc\ 00z00zW0zj00W000zk0kW0Wc00z00zW0zj00W000zk0kW0Wc00z00zW0zj00W000\ zk0kW0Wc00z00zW0zj00W000zk0kW0Wc00z00zW0zj00W000zk0kW0Wc00z00zW0\ zj00W000zk0kW0Wc00z00zW0zj00W000zk0kW0Wc00z00zW0zj00W000zk0kW0Wc\ 00z00zW0zj00W000zk0kW0Wc00z00zW0zj00W000zk0kW0Wc00z00zW0zj00W000\ zk0kW0W } --------------------------endparfile------------------------------ -------------------------startfrmfile----------------------------- frm:Fibrot1 { z = 0, c = pixel, j=0, k=1: a = p2*j + p1*k j = k k = a z = z^k + c z < 1000 } frm:NautibroidG { z = 0, c = pixel, k=p4, j=p3: j=p3*j k=p1*fn1(k)*j z = z^k + c j=p3*j k=p2*fn2(k)*j z = z^k + c fn3(z) < 1000 } frm:MetaNaut { z = 0, c = pixel, d = pixel^2, k=p3: k=p1*k z = z^k + c + p2*d z < 1000 } fn3(z) < 1000 } ---------------------------endfrmfile-----------------------------
