Mandelbrot Safari

[cKleinhuis]

crazy pic, but imho to many black areas ... is this wanted ? or a side effect of the waves that sometimes lead to zero values on all rgb channels ?
have you ever thought about the frequencies of your waves ? i mean, using prime numbers as frequencies lead to far longer periods, where the
waves exactly are at the same as the beginning, just a thought, those dark areas really take detail out of another interesting areas of the pic

I love the darkness in this picture. Makes it very moody. You will need a good, properly calibrated monitor to fully enjoy, though.

All of these have the same center coords.

This is the 100th image in this series:

Could you share some savefiles? Or a bitt different, could you share some examples of use of your UF colour algorithm?

Certainly.

I'll throw together a UF parameter that will work with the ucl posted here:

http://www.fractalforums.com/ultrafractal/multiwave-coloring-for-mandelbrot/

(use the original, not the beta that's posted later in the thread)

The following ought to work to recreate the first image in this thread. The center coords are exact so typing in new magnifications will zoom within this sequence.

I should warn you that to get close to the quality results I've posted you'd need to use 3x3 AA, depth 2, nonadaptive AA because depth 1 isn't enough oversampling and UF's adaptive AA seems not to work as well as mine. The deeper images would thus need some very beefy hardware to render in anywhere near a reasonable time; or even a cluster rendering different tiles of the image per machine.

Oh, and:

[Alef]

Thanks.

Paul, I can say, without doubt, that yours are the best mandelbrot renders I've seen. Thanks for sharing your coloring method, you did a great work.

[Pauldelbrot]

Thank you!
