The front cover.
I'm guessing that your favorite is either the front cover (that's why
it's on the front), or the month of your birthday (that's why you put it
there).

No, seriously... What are the chances of selling a 2008 calender *now*?
I just find it interesting that, for example, people are willing to pay
*actual money* for what I consider to be some of my less impressive
images. It seems that different people have really _wildly_ different
ideas about which images are the good ones.
By using a calendar that only has 12 images, in a nicely clickable
format, and with names that everybody can understand, it's easy to do a
quick survey. So far nobody has cited any of my least favourit images as
being the best, but we'll see. ;-)

This is the part I absolutely suck at. (You'll notice of course that
every single image present uses one of FractInt's built-in colour presets.)
FractInt's primitive colour editing interface doesn't help much, but
basically apart from using primary and secondary colours, I can never
think of good colour combinations. (And, obviously, there are 3 primary
and 3 secondary colours. Not too many possible combinations with only 6
starting points...)
> and perhaps also the locations of the zooms.
Hmm... Well since a finished fractal image = position + colour, you're
basically saying the entire thing sucks. ;-)
> Something more like:

See, now, I actually prefer my colour choices. (Yours all seem to
alternate between black and a randomly-chosen colour. Looks suspiciously
like one of the colouring algorithms from Xaos, actually.) I guess it's
a matter of personal taste.
You seem to have done a better job of centering the images though. And
some of the regions you found are quite unusual and interesting...

I don't think that he is. To any one who has played with Fractint your images
are great but to someone who has spent a lot of time deep zooming they do not
look unique. Not that, that is a criticism of your work. I've not seen much
about Fractint recently and I hope that you revive an interest in it.
BTW I always ended up using the default pallet. I like it.

Last I heard, FractInt is no longer actively maintained. The images on
Zazzle are the last thing I ever generated with it. Sadly, it refuses to
run on my shiny new 64-bit PC.
I am currently attempting to construct a Mandelbrot exploration tool of
my own...

Have you thought of compiling Fractint for a 64 bit OS because it runs on my m/c
with 32 bit WinXP?

Interesting! Keep us posted on how you get on. I had lots of fun with the Cubic
Mandelbrot code that you posted a couple of years ago. I made an interesting DF3
density file with it that I still use. Would it be difficult to convert it to
the normal Mandelbrot? I tried and failed miserably.

That's one thing I like about the Mandelbrot set: At first sight it
seems that there isn't really all that much variation, but if you just
keep exploring you'll find some surprises.
My favorite unusual shapes I have found are:

Indeed.
Originally I would just sort of explore at random. After a while you get
to know a few areas such that you can re-find them on que. But that's
not terribly exciting.
Later I spent some time working out the topology of the M set more
clearly. (I even have some mathematical rules that describe how the
periodic cycles work.)
Gradually I came to understand that particular shapes repeat around
things. Find a 3-way fork, zoom in, and you'll find minibrots decorated
with 3-way forks. (I quickly discovered that the negative tail has lots
of nie thin filaments that trace the internal structure of the other items.)
And then, after exploring the M set for years, I discovered something
completely unexpected: you can find mini Julia sets in there too! Real
Julia sets have 2-fold symmetry, but these mini copies have in their
interior shapes with 4-fold symmetry. And then 8-fold, 16-fold, and so
on, until you find a minibrot at the center.
And then, on exploring further, I discovered that there's a mini Julia
at every "junction point" inside, not just at the middle. But the ones
at other junctions have more complicated (and interesting) shapes. For
example, see
http://www.zazzle.com/MathematicalOrchid/product/228495105959465679
It's a normal "seashell" Julia, but bend into an S-shape. Most unusual.
And then, by choosing mini Julias inside, and going through multiple
non-central junctions, you can come up with really weird and wild shapes
[which inevitably end up looking a tad samey after a while].
I'm sure there is still plenty to be discovered in there...
> http://warp.povusers.org/snaps/fract/fract43.jpg
I like this.
> http://warp.povusers.org/snaps/fract/fract16.jpg
I wouldn't call this "unusual", but it is very beautiful.

You think not?
Actually, my reason for building this tool is precisely to address a
limitation of Xaos. Zoom in and then zoom back out again, and Xaos will
recompute the pixels that scrolled off the screen. My plan is to build a
tool that will keep the data for every pixel ever drawn in a giant
on-disk database. I expect this to be highly useful for rendering long
zoom animations to disk - and also for fast interactive exploration. (At
least, the *second* time you visit an area anyway...)
As to whether the program ever reaches a useable state... we shall see.
[I also have plans for a more general-purpose fractal drawing tool more
like FractInt - i.e., with a healthy dose of different fractal types,
colouring algorithms, etc. But we'll see if that project ever goes
anywhere.]

If you could find a way to get these items out there that's a little

The Mandelbrot set, like the number Pi, pops up everywhere. But, unlike

Raw rendering speed is not my primary priority.
[Have you noticed that sometimes you zoom in, and the adaptive rendering
stops before the image has reached full detail? How annoying is that?
Hopefully my tool won't have that limitation. Not to mention being able
to actually edit the colours used, and have an unlimited number of them...]

I haven't tried Xaos myself, but I see that it's licensed under the GPL.
Couldn't you just start with the Xaos source code and put in the
functionality you speak of?
Oh wait, I guess you're doing your tool in Haskel...

I like February the best. It contains interesting structures at several levels
of scale. Also, I find the color pallet subtle and pleasing.
I understand wanting to create your own Mandelbrot tool whether you "beat" Xaos
or not. I hold firmly to the position that working with numbers for the sheer
fun of doing it is a perfectly sane and reasonable thing to do - and eight of
the ten "voices" agree with me.

So do you, IIRC. ;-)
Regardless, I'm sure you'll agree that writing a thing yourself is often
much easier than trying to understand a large and complicated existing
codebase. (Especially if what you're trying to make works in a markedly
different way.) Mandelbrot generators are not exactly complex
contraptions...

Ah yes, the "icecream spiral". (So-called because its colours remind me
of various flavours of icecream. Yellow = vanilla, red = strawberry,
green = peppermint, blue = OMG, I'm going mad!) Also looks good on a
T-shirt.
<advert> Also, the image is rendered at 48 megapixels, so even if you
buy a poster that's 6 *feet* wide, it'll still print every tiny detail
at full 100dpi resolution. ;-) </advert> If I ever make enough sales,
maybe I can buy one of my posters to put on... a wall. LOL!

That one is the cover because there's no "focus point" anywhere - it's a
background pattern, so you can clip it and crop it and drop text over it
and it still looks cool.
When I designed the calendar, I basically just went through my image
collection and picked out all the best ones, not giving any particular
attention to ordering. (Altough I did slightly group similar shapes
together and try to pick contrasting colours for adjacent months.)
As it happens, March - Tatto #2 - does in fact turn out to be one of my
favourits. I can't begin to tell you how excellent this looks on a black
T-shirt...

There are probably people around here who are so familiar with the
Mandelbrot set that they could find the center point and scale of many
of these images in two or three test renders, just from viewing the image.

So not you then? ;-) [Since you failed to notice that one or two aren't
even from the normal quadratic Mandelbrot set...]

Interesting. July is another one of the images I don't rate so highly
myself. But apparently quite a few people like that one...

And, er, no. Apparently you can have US holidays or nothing... shame.

No, but *fast* ones are.
It's like raytracing: Creating a simple raytracer is very easy (I have
done that with POV-Ray's own SDL). However, making a *fast* raytracer is
very, very complicated.

Call me a sucker for purple/blue pastel shades. I thought the back cover
would make a nice fabric cover.

They really need to open a European branch, it's not as if they'd have to
send anything physically over to do the printing.

I only looked at the first image; it looks a lot like some areas just

By the way... I have this calendar on my desk at work. I can't *believe*
nobody has commented on it yet. I mean, just *look* at January. It's a
freakin' psychopathic rainbow spiral! Surely that's worth a raised
eyebrow at least??

If everyone knows you are a nerd then everyone expects you to have
nerdy things in your desk and nothing comes as a surprise. ;)

Apparently normal people don't find brightly coloured shiny things as
interesting as I do. :-(
