Mandelbrot Safari

[rollercoaster158]

This has been going deeper and deeper for quite a while now. What magnification are you at, and when you finish, can you give me an Ultrafractal parameter? I really like this and want to make a zoom movie of it (when I get my new computer or when I lose my patience and try to on my current, slow computer). Beautiful work, the mandelbrot set has to be one of the most interesting fractals out there. You just really have to go deep into it to appreciate it.

I'm at about 10⁷⁰ now. The center coords are

That point is inside, or very near, a minibrot that fills the frame at a magnification somewhere north of 10³⁰⁰. I don't know if I'll go all the way there, but you're welcome to try.

I'd recommend you use the multiwave coloring .ucl that is being discussed, if you try. Configured properly it will bring out the finest details at every scale, give a pleasing coloring to nearly every frame, vary interestingly with depth, and highlight the deeper structures and minibrots with distinctive colors in the frames where they appear. I used multiwave coloring for these; indeed, every image I've posted to this thread uses the same single consistent assignment of colors to smoothed iterations. You can match each image up with the center of the previous one if you don't believe me.

Beautiful work,

Thank you.

the mandelbrot set has to be one of the most interesting fractals out there. You just really have to go deep into it to appreciate it.

Wholeheartedly agree.

That void effect is simply amazing.

I apologize if this is a n00b question, but I have been surfing around the forums and can't seem to find your coloring .ucl file. Can you link me to it?

It's buried in another forum thread:

I just added .ucl to our allowed file extensions for attachments    

If you want to, you can make a thread in the UltraFractal section (HERE) and post the ucl file as attachment, then I'll make it sticky so others can find it more easily.  

That's too fine a gift to allow it getting buried.

why dont include this coloring algorithm in formula database ?! via auto update available

Done.

I doubt I can. This is a UF-specific thing? I don't have my own copy (I sometimes have access to someone else's).

[cKleinhuis]

use the uf database isnt bounded to an account i believe!!!!

[rollercoaster158]

Alright, my zoom movie of those coordinates is about to start rendering. I'll report back when it's finished.

Specs:

Total frames: 12,000 (6:40 mins at 30fps)
Magnification: 0.5 to 100E³²² (that's where the minibrot is according to some previews)
Resolution: 640x480 (2x anti-alaising for an unedited 1280x960)
Iterations: 2,000 - 500,000
Keyframes: 1/40 (it's a slower zoom, this won't affect it badly)

Wish me luck!

You don't need UF (registered or not) to create an access account to upload to the formula database - it's protected against people uploading "spam" etc. anyway and verifies the formulas/colourings before adding them to the database, just go to http://formulas.ultrafractal.com/ create an account and you can upload your UF formulas.
Just go to the site, click "Author login" then click "Sign up as formula author".

Ah. OK.

Crazy Phytoplankton, Paul. Way cool.

Thanks!
