Title: Help identifying formulas Post by: tly on May 12, 2016, 11:20:55 PM Some years ago i tested a lot of formulas and made mostly lowreslution images (because my renderer was quite bad ;D )
Now im looking at some of these images and want to rerender them with higher resolution / multisampling, but i dont remember the formulas that i used... My question is: do you think it would be possible to identify some formulas by images? I only used the standard m-set escape time method for the fractals. Ive seen similar images before, so the formulas could be well-known :dink: these are the images that id like to rerender: (http://i.imgur.com/9f6W2xJ.png) (http://i.imgur.com/JbavbMW.png) pretty weird ones: (http://i.imgur.com/gJTk3gD.png) (http://i.imgur.com/NwAURxo.png) some variation of the burning ship: (http://i.imgur.com/TpO4mCz.png) it has henon attractor shapes as "minibrots" :D Title: Re: Help identifying formulas Post by: lkmitch on May 13, 2016, 06:29:13 PM The first one looks like a rational function, maybe something like z = c(z^4-1)/z.
The second looks like a tweak to the regular Mandelbrot, maybe along the lines of z^2+c+(small number)/z. No idea about the others.

Thanks, i think the rational function is a good idea, this would explain why the fractal shapes get infinitely small at the origin.

Nice idea, I entered your formula into my little program.Result's below :) Rational functions need to be tested further ;D Thanks!

Title: Re: Help identifying formulas Post by: Imagyx on May 20, 2016, 10:16:42 AM Ops... I'm sorry. :embarrass: I really tried z^4 first, but it didn't look like the first one from tly. So I thought with functional analysis in mind to try z^3 and this one looks more like the one which was asked for. Well, at least there are three parts as well...I wonder why there aren't any original mandelbrots in my render but instead some hearts :-\ Now there's z = c(z^4-1)/z as well: But as always the look depends a lot on choice of colors... |
