- JULIA3
-
- An exploration into a Julia Set from the Eastern Cleft of the Mandelbrot Set.
-
- Originals rendered here in two ways -
-
- First eight images are in Amiga AGA 256-color, 768x480
- Final eight images are in 768x480, 24-bit
-
- All were rendered initially at count 16384. The first and second groups are
- actually the same images, showing two different ways of exploiting the beauty
- of a set of fractal zooms by rendering in two different graphics modes (256-
- color and 24-bit). The GIF and HAM versions of the first eight images are
- very faithful to the originals. The deeper 24-bit zooms are shown in 512
- colors.
-
- Images 5 and 13 are named THE OWL (turn them sideways to see why).
-
- The Julia Set from this location starts as a billowy cloudlike object, with
- a little bit of detail in one part only - but magnifying that part yields
- these astoundingly colorful patterns seen in the deeper zooms.
-
- Total magnification from P00 to P07 (or from P08 to P15) is only 128, but
- look where that got us! And despite the small magnification, you'll find
- (like I did) that rendering into the interesting parts of Julia Sets can
- be extremely time-consuming. High count values are absolutely necessary
- for satisfactory detail, but it seems most of these areas actually have
- lots of points which are near the maximum count.
