Title: Mark reporting in... Post by: squirreltape on October 08, 2013, 04:37:00 PM Hello one and all,
Wow, this is a really interesting forum group and I count myself fortunate to be here as I have popped in here from time to time over the years for advice and what not. I started out way back in 1997-8 with FractalExtreme and loved trawling through the mandelbrot set and making zoom-movies. Since then I've dabbled (note that 'dabbled' is a key word, tee hee) with Chaoscope, Incendia (just a bit), Mandelbulb3D, ElectricSheep, Apophysis and more recently JWildfire and Fragmentarium. My wife and I made the move from England over a decade ago to here in South Wales and with our two young children getting the time for artwork is a bit of a squeeze (at least with the soggy climate I dońt get to do my astrophotography anywhere near as often as Íd like so theres some free time right there (boo hoo)). But I try my best. Nice to say hello though, Mark Title: Re: Mark reporting in...

Nice to say hello though, Mark Greetings, and welcome to this particular forum !!! :D Seems as though you have had a good introduction to fractals already, based upon what you have stated above. And if you have a bit of spare time on your hands these days, then there probably will be something here that could keep you quite busy. Enjoy your stay!! Title: Re: Mark reporting in...

Title: Re: Mark reporting in... Post by: squirreltape on October 08, 2013, 05:12:45 PM Thankyou for that... yes, there is loads here to be keeping me busy ;D
Infact, Ím off now to find the right place to post a question about Glynn Julia sets as it happens. Thanks again for the greet. Title: Re: Mark reporting in...

Thanks again for the greet. You might try the following link first: http://www.fractalforums.com/mandelbrot-and-julia-set/glynn-julia-set/ (http://www.fractalforums.com/mandelbrot-and-julia-set/glynn-julia-set/) Title: Re: Mark reporting in... Post by: squirreltape on October 08, 2013, 05:56:48 PM Thanks Paul, that is exactly the thread Íve been studying for the last 4 or 5 days :embarrass:
This may be off-topic here but after seeing "FractalRebel"s image above Ramiro Perezs 3d version (along with the other images) I'm struggling to produce any image of the Glynn with the software I have... oh and I'm clueless when the conversation turns to coding and implementing all that wonderful and hard-won knowledge... brings to mind dying of thirst while being swept downstream, ha. The closest I've gotten so far is to find an arc of what looks like the "biomorphs" somehere near the centre of one of the Kali examples in Fragmentarium (below the example "ducks" in the drop down list). I'll start a new topic over in that board tonight methinks so I don't get told-off hogging this meet'n'greet thread. Thanks again Paul for the pointer, very much appreciated. And thanks to cKleinhuis also... I can't find the heightfield Glynn you posted in reply#32 on page 3 of that thread that Paul linked to for me (tried a search but it always sends me to the top of the 203 pages on that particular board...phew). Thanks again guys Title: Re: Mark reporting in... Post by: cKleinhuis on October 08, 2013, 06:26:09 PM Haha, thx the mystery of the glynn sett lies in the exponent and it is a julia set, so for reproducing it with another program you need to edit the exponent standard for mandelbrot is 2 (z^2+c) and for the glynn this eyponent needs to be set to 1.5 ;)
Title: Re: Mark reporting in... Post by: cKleinhuis on October 08, 2013, 06:42:39 PM I corrected the link, it was using a prettyurl feature that is no longer in use due to heavy database load
Title: Re: Mark reporting in... Post by: squirreltape on October 08, 2013, 07:19:48 PM Woo... that sure is a nice representation cKleinhuis, thanks for the updated link. Ok, so I'll try and dig around in the software I've got and amend the equation to z=z^1.5-0.2 ... if I get stuck I'll open a new thread elsewhere for a little guidance... fingers crossed I won't need it (famous last words, ha ha) |
