Here are some more of my lovely fractal pictures, generated by using Fractal eXtreme from Cygnus Software. Unlike the pictures on my first page, not all of these are taken from the Mandelbrot set; some use other weird fractals. But, unfortunately, in most cases, I don't remember which are which... so here they are, without further introduction.
Oh wait, one more word of further introduction... My favorite color scheme, of the presets available in the program, is called "Fast Changes". It makes use of a lot of bright, pretty, happy colors. So if you see a lot of bright, pretty, happy colors in these pictures, then you'll know why...
Here's one taken at 18 zooms. Another M-Set replica, but still beautiful in its own way.
19 zooms for this one. I call this one "Stormy M-Set."
This one's 11.5 zooms, but not into the Mandelbrot set; this was taken from a fractal the Cygnus people call "Hidden Mandelbrot". They use a slightly more complex equation to generate a picture that at first looks nothing like the old familiar M-Set. However, when you zoom in on various locations of this fractal, you get M-Set replicas, though not always as nice-looking and beautiful as this one. I call it "M-Set in a web."
Well, I goofed again and forgot to save this one in Fractal eXtreme format. End result? I have no idea how many zooms in this picture was taken at. For this reason, and because I don't remember where in the Mandelbrot set I found this one, I call this replica "Lost M-Set." It's just out there in the middle of nowhere.
OOOOOoooooOOOOOhhhHHHHH! Now this one looks positively demonic. This one I generated by using the "3 Solutions" color scheme (and zooming in 38½ times).
Any suggestions for what I should call this one? It's actually the same one as the last, but with a different color scheme.
Oh, now this one is just lovely! This took a painfully long time to come up, probably because of the massive detail involved, and that it was taken at 64 zooms. I call it "12-pointed star" because, well, it IS...
If anyone has ideas for what to call THIS one, please, send them over. For now I'm just calling it "Blob". Oh, and it was taken at 34 zooms.
Now THIS... This is just beautiful. Taken at 17 zooms, not into the straight Mandelbrot. If you look at the changing bands of color, you'll see that this is in fact a spiral, not just a bunch of concentric circles.
Again, I'm more than open to suggestions as to nomenclature here. I'm calling this one "The Growth" for lack of a better name. Taken at 64 zooms.
Not from the straight Mandelbrot, and I call it "Lake". I think this one is particularly pleasing aesthetically. 8 zooms in.
Now this one's just SWEET. This was taken at 53 zooms, using (again) the "Fast Changes" color scheme. I call it "Flaming Spiral at 53."
And this one's HOT! Same as the last, but on FIRE! For such firey effects, I usually use the "Rainbow" scheme.
Another picture in need of a name... Taken at 17 zooms, called for the time being "M-Set in a garden".
Again, this one needs a name. 83 zooms.
It's electric! 86 zooms (MAD magnification here) into, I believe, the real Mandelbrot. Called simply "Electric at 86".
And here's a REALLY deep one, taken at 90 zooms! For lack of a better name, it's called simply "8 Arms".
Another one needs a name. For now, it's called "Garden at 75". Guess how many zooms.
And now we're getting even deeper. This one was taken at 93 zooms, and I call it "Cell at 93" because it vaguely reminded me of something I might see under a (really really powerful) microscope. Agree/disagree? See if I care... :-) Anyhow, it's not YOUR fractal picture page, it's MINE... :-)
And with that, my fractal picture gallery comes to a close.
More great fractal pictures here...
