Title: Smooth color transitions 2 Post by: Kalles Fraktaler on February 04, 2014, 06:32:58 PM Not so deep Mandelbrot zoom, final magnification is only 1.2e111
I am very pleased with the result, one of the best I made I think. By exceeding the bailout value to 100 (I always thought 2 was a holy value not to be changed) and use the smoothing function log(log (|Z[n]|)) / log (2) the edges are almost not visible at all! Even the unzoomed Mandelbrot shape is in it self beautiful with this coloring! Thanks also to Chillheimer for the inspiration of reverse color cycling, which makes the colors look like they are fixed. The arrow shaped spikes looks sometimes like they go through some liquid metallic matter. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDK8xWFmS78 Whenever I get access to my site I will put new versions available. Also KFMM is improved. (some edge like lines are visible though, probably since I use 24 bits when KFMM is selecting codec. But on my machine I don't have any 32-bit codecs) Title: Re: Smooth color transitions 2 Post by: Dinkydau on February 04, 2014, 09:08:15 PM Very nice to watch! You're getting better.
Title: Re: Smooth color transitions 2 Post by: youhn on February 04, 2014, 09:42:23 PM Wow, this one is extremely boggling-woggling shape morphing. But still kinda pleasant to watch, cuz of the smoothness.
Higher framerate would in my opinion be welcome, to add to the smoothness. :beer: Title: Re: Smooth color transitions 2 Post by: Kalles Fraktaler on February 04, 2014, 11:53:56 PM Thanks. It's customized for youtube so it's 30fps.

wow, are you experimenting with pauldels waving colors ?! the color effect is really stunning because it gives so much movement to this static object, and furthermore, your choice of music is much more better :D Title: Re: Smooth color transitions 2 Post by: mclarekin on February 05, 2014, 08:41:49 AM Very nice, smooth zoom and excellent colouring, I watched it all :beer: :beer: :beer:
Title: Re: Smooth color transitions 2 Post by: Kalles Fraktaler on February 05, 2014, 10:34:09 AM Thanks
This is just random colors, merged with dark and light colors on interval. I never understood Pauldelbrots coloring method Title: Re: Smooth color transitions 2 Post by: cKleinhuis on February 05, 2014, 05:27:05 PM pauldels method simply is based upon smooth coloring, but using sine waves with different wave length ( at best with prime number wave length to produce long sequences with no repeats) i think he uses colors instead of indices for generating the colors, each sequence is presumably consisting of a color1 and color2 (complex gradients should be doable as well )
and the trick is to use such generated colors in those very deep locations, where they come to their true power by using the prime wave lengthes ;) @pauldel correct me if i am wrong Title: Re: Smooth color transitions 2 Post by: Kalles Fraktaler on February 06, 2014, 12:28:10 PM pauldels method simply is based upon smooth coloring, but using sine waves with different wave length ( at best with prime number wave length to produce long sequences with no repeats) i think he uses colors instead of indices for generating the colors, each sequence is presumably consisting of a color1 and color2 (complex gradients should be doable as well ) Yeah I am also using sinus to smooth colors from one color to the next. and the trick is to use such generated colors in those very deep locations, where they come to their true power by using the prime wave lengthes ;) @pauldel correct me if i am wrong I read his description and it was mentioning beizer, of which I do not have any knowledge. But I just read on Beizer curves on wikipedia and it doesn't look so difficult. But maybe filling the color table with sinus waves would give an interesting result, it's definitely worth a test :) |
