END OF AN ERA, FRACTALFORUMS.COM IS CONTINUED ON FRACTALFORUMS.ORG

Amazing gears  - Which program did you use for the animation?

  If you check this thread, I made a version of it for Fragmentarium.  Do need to iron it out a bit though- code is quite messy at the moment.


  ChaosPro, as Asdam said.  The code isn't cleaned up yet- need to do a re-release with the new options included- and I have another idea to try out before I do that.

  I like the option of using a palette for coloring.  Allows one to rotate through specific assigned colors with the strength of the orbit.  Helps with the details, as the orbit strength of these particular fractal types is strongly associated with the 3 dimensional details of the fractal (as you can see in the animations).

  I'm having problems with the time function in Fragmentarium- for some reason when running animations, it doesn't increment, although it does increment in continuous mode.  The code for Fragmentarium (which isn't finalized, just like the ChaosPro code...) is located in the last post in Mikael's non-DE thread. 

  In addition, it <Fragmentarium> doesn't do multiple samples when I use animation mode, so I end up with fuzzy looking animations.  In continuous mode, it samples as many times as I want and makes nice images. 

  Note the italicized "I" and "I'm".  Other people are getting animations to work in Fragmentarium- it's not the software, it's my lack of knowledge.

  Maybe the animation tab doesn't work.  But my discovery of the rotation mod for this fractal type is the direct consequence of the quickness of Fragmentarium's continuous rendering, in addition to the rotation matrix code that I saw in Knighty's KIFS code.  Fragmentarium is awesome.. although it'll be nice to be able to do animations someday- and use palettes.  

Here is another quick animation (MOVED TO TOP OF THREAD).  I'm putting together a series of parts, and will connect them together.  This is a slightly better resolution, with a slow change from z^2 to "z^0" (percentage weight shifts).

  Yeah... think these are why I kept on imagining the clicking Sylar ?heard? in Heroes last night.  Or maybe it's the damn clock.
