Hi,

i like your images. Can i download and test your software for free? I have also my own rendering software, maybe your tool gives me some inspiration to new fractals.

yv3, I'm glad you like my fractals. Unfortunately, my software probably won't be useful to you. It's written in Fortran (compiled with g95, though the code mostly resembles Fortran 77), and it is uncommented/undocumented. It has no user interface and contains no preset formulas; for each run I modify the source and recompile.

If you really still want the software, please let me know where to send it.

Here's some information which might actually be useful: I generated Passageway by iterating the complex-valued recurrence relation z(n) = z(n - 1)^(-2i). [Shockingly simple, isn't it?] I colored based on the modulus of the first z(n) which "escaped"; in this case I used 10 as the escape threshold for abs(z(n)). The image's texture is due to post-work in GIMP.

If you need more information, or you want to know how I generated any other fractal, please feel very free to ask . . . and congratulations on the yFractalExplorer article (http://orbittrap.ca/?p=1962) in Orbit Trap.

Ken

You're very welcome, yv3. Thanks for producing that fantastic set of fractals based on the simple formula.
