Burning Ships |
This is the now famous "burning ship" fractal which is derived by a very small change to the classic Mandelbrot formula, which is:
Mandelbrot (xaxis) { ; z = 0, c = pixel: z = z*z + c |z| < 4 } To make the burning ship, simply use the absolute values of the REAL and IMAG components: Burning Ship { ; z = 0, c = pixel: z = (abs(z))^2+ c |z| < 4 } AVI 1024x768 437 MEG (High Resolution) ♦♦♦ 2 minutes 33 seconds |
Morphing Ship |
To make the morphing ship, vary the exponent of the burning ship from -10 to +10: Morphing Ship { ; z = 0, c = pixel: z = (abs(z))^{-10 -> +10}+ c |z| < 4 } AVI 1600x1200 485 MEG (High Resolution) ♦♦♦ 1 minutes 22 seconds |

Evolution of the Mandelbrot Set |
The normal {classic} Mandelbrot uses an exponent of 2 , and the formula can be written thus: Mandelbrot (xaxis) { ; z = 0, c = pixel: z = z^2 + c |z| < 4 } In this viddie, that exponent is varied from 0 to 8 , and we see the Mandelbrot evolve from a seed to a creature with multiple (7 in this case) heads.

Universe #6Z |
Mandelbrot Dive to 1.95E+112 2 years 10 months in the making, spread out on 4 systems running 24/7. It isn't that much work for me, I just write the script, feed it to the computer(s), and let them cruise. Makes a nice night show in my main room while the images are rendering; near the end they take 30 hours each. And this is the last deep Mandelbrot dive I will ever do - time to move on to other things. This is a dive to a final depth of 10^112. Enjoy! AVI 640x480 4 min 45 sec 492 MEG ♦♦♦♦ |

Julia Spiral 1S |
This is the Julia set plotted around points centered around the main cardioid of the Mandelbrot set. Starting from the Real/Imag coordinate of -0.12/0.00, near the center
of the big lake, and with an initial radius of 0.73, the points are plotted along the edge of the radius which is then near and around the complex features at the boundary.
As the circle sweeps 360* in 0.25* increments, the radius is continuously decreased, 0.01 for each revolution. With 11 total revolutions, the radius decreases to a final value of 0.62. Thus the Julia is plotted along a decreasing tight spiral, rather than just a circle. And you see as the viddie progresses each revolution is slightly different from the previous, and more complex; nothing is ever repeated, even though it may look like it sometimes at the beginning. The Julia spiral "band" then covers most of the complex areas near the boundary, which give the best Julias. AVI 1024x768 4 min 24 sec. 399 MEG ♦♦ |

Chrysalis |
This is the Julia Set, centered at Real/Imag = -0.75/0.00 on the Mandelbrot plane, varying the Julia exponent from -2.0 => +6.0. The original Chrysalis viddie, so named because several sequences within it resembled a cocoon, or chrysalis, as the irregular shaped black inside Julia Set, which then suddenly exploded into a multi-colored "flock of butterflies", the Cantor Dust Julia, was quite nice - one of my favorites. This new version uses Fractint's "inside=bof60" coloring algorithm. I'm not sure exactly what it is doing, but it is seriously cool. Redone and expanded - better! AVI 1400x1050 112 sec. 366 MEG ♦♦♦ |
Space Bubbles |

The classic way of rendering fractals is to iterate the coordinates of each pixel on the screne many times through the equation until it "escapes" from the complex plane or appears to be forever "trapped", determined by algorithm. If it is trapped it is part of the fractal set and is colored black. If it escapes it is then given a color based on the number of iterations it took. This iteration process graphs what is called an orbit, which can be circular, spiral, or any kind of shape. And the orbit of one pixel can cover a large part of the screne.
BuddhaBrot |
To make the BuddhaBrot, the orbits themselves are plotted on the screne, not the individual colored pixel. And wherever two orbits intersect,
that pixel is incremented by color. (And this is done only for the ones that "escape"). The overlap of all these thousands of orbits then
creates the fuzzy surrealistic "BuddhaBrot" image. And this can be done for any fractal, not just the Mandelbrot.
As iteration count increases, the length and time of the orbit(s) increase, thus creating more overlaps and more incremented pixels. Thus by varying the iteration and parameter count an interesting morphing-evolution effect is seen. AVI 1024x768 74 sec. 183 MEG ♦♦♦ |
