Ahh, beautiful stuff :) Another good thing about doing fractals in pov is that
you can have them antialiased. The hard part is finding a good spot and then
zooming in :)

Ditto. Especially when it comes to 4-D :) But it's cool in 2D as well,
especially with Warp's additions.

Actually; given that you have Fractint and/or Ultra Fractal or similar, it's
not that hard ... Both UF and FI can express their locations in the fractals
with <center> and <magnification> and <rotation> and it's quite easy to use
it in Povray (Just figured out, actually! :) 1. Translate -center, scale
mag, rotate -rotation*z (if the fractal is in the xy-plane.) I wouldn't
think that using the regular <corners>-style is too difficult either.

And, yes! It's a beautiful image. ;-)

Simen Kvaal.

Hmm. Have you ever tried Fractal eXtreme? Perhaps even
on a multi processor machine (I have one). *This*
is the best fractal explorer I have ever seen.

I think the best fractal software is

Thanks.

Don't be such a pain.

I say two words: Ultra Fractal !

THE best. Fractal extreme is somewhat limited, I'd say... The versatility of
UF's formula parser is _awesome_. You control _everything_; from maths to
colorization.

And poster output... When you render a 6400x3200 fractal with eight levels
of adaptive antialiasing it takes time, but you should _really_ see the
poster I have on my wall ... *drool over UF's output*.

regards,
Simen.

Yes, but it doesn't support deep zooming like FractInt (I don't know about
POV, but I doubt it..).  It's annoying, because especially given the speed
UF can zoom in under preview mode, it doesn't take ~that~ much before you've
reached its limit...

Expanding a fractal just to the size of Jupiter's orbit isn't good enough!

Hopefully not too o.t., but does anyone know of a fractal program that
supports deepzoom ~and~ truecolor?  ..Or if/when ultra fractal might?

Sorry for the off-topic-ness ;)

Matt

The latest version of FractInt does, but not very well.

As I said before, Fractal Extreme can do it. And it's *fast*
(uses all available processors ;-)

Love it...  But would anyone have any idea of how to use Fractint formula
files in Povray or Megapov?
