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. They like it!
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!

Hi-bitrate mpeg4 - you need a
good system to handle this!

Star Gate
Too bad Stanley Kubrick didn't have access to fractal
animation when he made "2001 Space Odyssey"
in 1968. But it is here now, so why is nobody using it
for movies and video games?

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.

WMV   640x480   112 sec.   17.3 MEG ♦♦






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.

You can download an extended and much higher resolution
(AVI format) version of Buddhabrot HERE.

An animation derived from a formula by Jonathan Osuch, one of the authors of Fractint.
These use the "buddhabrot" technique implemented in Fractint:

Here are the start and end images of an
RDS Mandelbrot zoom :

If you can see them correctly, it's cool cause the viddie
is much better resolution than the pics.

A short zoom from the parent Mandelbrot
to the North-tip mini-brot.
