Torrent Full of Lisp Porno Movies

The Mandelbrot Set is the index of the parameters for which there is a connected Julia Set. Seeing how the two are related is quite interesting. Especially with animations. And if you like the little sample, there is a torrent full of them.

The complete source code is included, of course. The walks along the main cardioid and the main bulb are pretty neat. From this we can guess that a walk along some secondary bulb would especially nice. Now, I have to ask for help on that one. The point of intersection of the secondary bulbs are know, they are

   (/ (- 1 (expt (- (exp (* 2 #c(0 1) pi (/ p q))) 1) 2)) 4)

The main bulb is p=1 and q=2. The first person who tell me how to find center of the secondary bulbs will win a custom rendered movie! Isn't it a good deal?

update: the torrent is gone. Bittorrent is great for large files with flash popularity. Without it hosting large files like that would have been really difficult. The catch is that you need seeds and you can't hold on them forever. The movie pack was downloaded 75 times for a total of 19 gigs. Wow! Thanks to all the seeds! I'll pay you back with more fractal stuff soon.

Fractal Zooming Movies

I had to opportunity to have a chat with David Steuber, a truly dedicated fractaler. David have been rendering frames for his new fractal movie for the last few months. After I watched his first movie, I wanted more so I added the movie support to Fract. It's basically the same thing as the zoom trail but with many times more frames and a file numbering that helps the encoder. The Fract generated fractal zooming movies are from spots in the scoreboard, I may add automatic movie rendering for the top rated regions in the future.
