On Orbit Start-Points (z0)

Fractals like the mandelbrot set are generated using a function (in caseof the mandelbrot set it is “f(z) = z^2 + c”) that is repeatedly appliedto itself, thus generating the sequence “z0, f(z0), f(f(z0))” etc… Picking a proper start value “z0” is important to obtain nice results, in particular to find smaller Mandelbrot Sets embedded

Update 1.2.0

New update, yey 🙂 For now in the beta channel, main release within the next days. There are many improvements in this one, in particular in the Storage Backend. But the most obvious one – a new icon. The easter egg was just too lovely, so I thought, maybe I can use a similar image

Mandelbrot Set Program

Hello again. I would like to explain a bit the Sample programs of Fract, combined with a kind-of walk-though to generating some amazing pictures. For starters I would like to explain how to reach this image: So, in Fract there are three things: Programs that render the image, parameters that are injected into the program,

Happy Easter – Version 1.0.2 and something about colors

Hello again. Fract has been released more than two weeks ago and in the meantime I found some annoying bugs. The most important most likely when I was looking for easter eggs in Fract (Is this egg-thing international or just European?). Finally, I found this easter egg but it took some time. Lovely, right? Kind

Fract – A bit of technical details

This blog post could have been called “Under the hood”. I would like to explain some of the design goals of Fract, and important differences to Fractview. Furthermore, it provides some technical details. It is not essential information to use Fract, but it might be interesting for some of you. Calculation Parameters and Bitmap Parameters
