Reproducing "Fractal Cosmos" images
Hello to everyone, this is my first post. Has anyone ever tried reproducing the images in Jeff Berkowitz's "Fractal Cosmos" book? Most of them are supposed to be elementary Mandel/Julia-style fractals and he kindly lists the various formulae and parameters for each image shown. Palette differences aside, reproducing similar images in Fractint should be elementary - he provides the formula, the "corners", "maxiter" and "bailout" values (and "c" for the Julia types). But the first 2 I have tried (p3-22 top-left, p2-23 bottom-left) yield images whose apparent structure in no way resembles what he shows in the book. I was trying to reproduce them for technical reasons - I was trying to verify the accuracy of my own Windows-based fractal engine as I had just added the "complex power" opcode to it. Fractint yielded precisely the same image as my own program, so the verification issue is resolved, but I hate loose ends! Cheers Dr Memory __________________________________________________ Yahoo!
