More Colors

2005-03-14 (permalink)

Zach Beane made yet another fast image writer. This time we have PNG. If we can get 24-bit colors for free, better use lots of them! So now we run at 1024 iterations. The set looks great when you crank up the iteration count and the progressive color map it well suited for playing with the iteration count. I only lowered the progression factor a bit since we tend to zoom more now. I'll probably have to switch to double floats soon. The black pixels are starting to get really expensive, we clearly see that images with lots of black takes a while to render. I'll try to detect cycles, that should speed up things a bit. Maybe we can crank it up to 2048...
