Default colors in the Mandel Machine look good, but still I wish for a more advanced color editing tool (besides the extraction tool).

very nice pictures, sooner or later i am going to provide a dedicated section, this program seems to attract many, so it might come soon that i open up a board for it

You can load a Kalles Fraktaler file and set the palette that way.

Small seed of a golden grail in a blue sky with sheepy clouds.

Close-up in a moment ... the grail seed is falling towards us.

Still looking up? Here is it just above your head:

I plan to implement a palette editor feature after I finish automatic blob correction. Expect it within a few weeks.

Since yesterday I'm taking photos dedicated to be used as Mandel Machine color scheme.

My dashboard (don't mind the blur, it's actually better for the local color gradients to be used as fractal color scheme):

@ Ellarien. I like those long seahorse tails in the central blue area, cool! :) :) :)

@ Ellarien
If you go to the link for your picture and right click a popup box gives you the option to view all sizes.
Selecting large I hovered over the the 1024 x768 picture and right clicked and copied the image URL "http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3830/12803420934_9aafa61ca0_b.jpg"
This pastes nicely within the img tags this forum provides.
My ISP provides a full flickr-pro account, hopefully this doesn't just work for me?

The image works here.

@panzerboy, thanks.  AIUI Flickr doesn't like you doing that without providing  a link to the photo page (and they stopped explicitly providing the links to make it harder), but as the link is present in the thread I guess it's OK.

I had to google AIUI - As I Understand It.
Is that what the cool kids are using now instead of AFAIK - As Far As I Know

Here - Julia evolution!

First image, that looks cool with glitches!!!

Trying to morph...

Wow, SeryZone, that first one is awesome! Did you find those with mandel machine as well?

i like the circle shape very much as well, nice find, it does not really look like a mandelbrot ;)

The first one from SeryZone has a really cool blue part! I'm a bit bored with the default color scheme, but I like the spiderweb-looking last one aswell!

Yes, Dinkydau! I learn how to render in MM and find out 'Evolution of Trees', that you found out first!
Thanks a lot!


That's morphing Julia! Look to my gallery: http://seryzone.deviantart.com/gallery/44209233 (http://seryzone.deviantart.com/gallery/44209233) You can see coordinates. look to coords and you can understand, how to morph =) Good luck!


Thank you so much! I very glad that you like my works! =))
Good luck in exploring fractal Universe!!!

Thank you Botond putting the palette into the .mmf files.
I can now generate 4096 colour palettes! :chilli:
With that many colours the stripes become very fine, more like tree rings than snail-shell.

Very colorful palletes you use! Specially the last one is beatiful.

A more quiet one from about a week ago:

http://jeroensnake.deviantart.com/art/Texture-trying-to-escape-the-surface-442729617

SeryZone, wow that's some amazing views!
But I don't think there are any glitches in your "Molecular" image, isn't it just a part of fast dark and light color transitions in the palette?

(The other images from all of you are awesome too :))

Thank you very much, Karl!!!  :D Your words really inspire me for new works (now I explore very deep and hard zoom to ~e1600)!!!  :embarrass: Thanks a lot! Good luck to you!  :thanks2: :thanks2: :thanks1:


Kalle, I render my video 'Holy S**t' in Mandel Machine and I see similar glitches. So, I guess, this NOT NEEDED reference addition. I can't make 1-reference calculates but I MUST abort rendering on FIRST part calculations!!!  :sad1:
This is one image, but in my video similar glitches too much and this is very big disadvantage!!! In Kalles Fraktaler I can setup calculations on 1 reference orbit and after, if image have glitches I can add needed reference. But I can't do it in MM, therefore you see this gl***es!!!

Another quiet one, but a little spikey. Might aswell been called easy-going-sand-rollercoaster or something:

http://jeroensnake.deviantart.com/#/art/From-the-sea-onto-the-beach-442730114

These are real glitches, I described them in the Mandel Machine thread:
http://www.fractalforums.com/announcements-and-news/mandel-machine/msg72270/#msg72270 (http://www.fractalforums.com/announcements-and-news/mandel-machine/msg72270/#msg72270)

I just found out something new (at least for me). I knew that increasing the color density leads to some sort of chaos. This gives some sort of grey mass in the middle and branching tube-like structures on the lower (outer) iteration bands. But in some area's (first zoom to a mini-brot on the antenna, then some dense parts close to it's border, then find a julia) order reappears when increasing the density:

http://jeroensnake.deviantart.com/art/When-order-goes-through-chaos-and-reappears-443195795

I guess this is not a big secret ... ?

Curious. I wonder if it's something like an aliasing effect?

It means that the length of the gradient is almost the same as the difference in iteration count between those "almost-circles"/julia sets with high symmetry. Indeed it creates some nice effects. I do it all the time.

You won't see it (so clear) without AA, but it is NOT because of it. If you could view it in a non-anti-aliased image of about 9600x7200, you would see about the same. Given enough viewing-distance (or small enough image) your eyes/brain will implement about the same algorithm as the computer antialiasing.  :nerd:

I was thinking more of aliasing in the signal-processing sense -- what DinkyDau said, but it was late and I couldn't manage to unpack the reference into plain language.  :dink:

Julia Set, what you gonna do???
