Space Warp ! |
Here the Mandelbrot parameters are inverted along the X [Real] axis during the ZooM-In; this creates a cool inversion effect which turns the fractal inside-out and reversed as it backs out and returns. WMV 1280x720 69 sec. 45 MEG ♦♦ WMV 640x480 69 sec. 20 MEG ♦♦ AVI 1400x1050 70 sec. 615 MEG ♦♦♦ |

Home page of the Mandelbrot Universe Fractal Videos and A Mandelbrot the size of the known universe and larger
The "Universe" viddies are so named because at a zoom depth of E+26 -> E+27, the original Mandelbrot is expanded to approximately the size of the known observable universe, 10-20 billion lightyears.
These take months to render on as many as 4 systems, all running 24/7; a couple took well over a year. They are made without frame interpolation, shortcuts, tricks or cheating, like so many others "out there" now are. Every frame is individually rendered with FRACTINT in DOS using hi-end Pentium-3 systems.
Universe #1 and #2 are not posted; they were early efforts and not so good. Universe #6 (posted on page 2) dives all the way to E+112 !

Mandelbrot Dive to E+40 Descent into The Canyon of the Mandelbrot Sequence and coordinates inspired by Michael Condron AVI 640x480 3 min 19 sec 248 MEG ♦♦♦ |
...... where no man has gone before ...... |
I guarantee you have never seen this part of the Mandelbrot before - the center point between the 2 main bulbs. Nobody goes there. Images take
days to generate, iteration count is too high (2,100,000,000 in this case). Even this short sequence took 4 months on 4 hi-end P3 systems! This area has long intrigued me; it is very difficult to get there: ( REAL = -0.75000003190208660 , IMAG = +0.00022826353530089 ) Even FRACTINT could not distinguish the lakes from the canyon any further down than this (even at maximum iterations!) - and no other fractal program can come close. If you view it full size on a normal computer monitor, at the midpoint stop the original Mandelbrot is approximately the size of the Earth, the canyon walls are exactly as you see them, and you are 0.35 miles from the center of the Earth.

Did you miss the Aug 21, 2017 Total Solar Eclipse? I saw it in Glendo, WY. AWESOME !!!!!!! But if you missed it, you can see the Fractal version here ! A Mandelbrot with exponent set to 21 and parameter tweax. Like all of these, created in pure, uncut DOS with FractInt, and animated with BASIC. AVI 1600x1200 68 sec. 104 MEG ♦♦♦♦ This is another Eclipse like above, but with reversed parameters. Looks more like what I saw in Glendo, looks a lot like it actually. AVI 1600x1200 68 sec. 94 MEG ♦♦♦♦ |
Fractals are a subset graphical representation of Chaos Theory, which is now usually called Complex Systems Theory, or Nonlinear Dynamics. In addition to trees and plants, seashells, and a host of other natural phenomenon, even an eclipse like above, they can also emulate just about anything if you do the math right, for example, a nuclear explosion or a meteor burning up in the atmosphere.
