- Hello,
-
- I just uploaded to wuarchive.wustl.edu, in subdirectory /pub/MSDOS_UPLOADS,
- a compressed (.zip) file containing manz2to4.fli. The name of the file is
- manz2to4.zip.
-
- The file manz2to4.fli is a FLI animation file generated from Fractint 17.2
- GIF files. I generated 201 GIF files of resolution 320x200x256 using the
- manzpower fractal type by varying the exponent (real part) from 2.00 to 4.00
- in steps of 0.01. I then used the program DTA15E to create the "movie".
- Of course, when the exponent is 2.00, we get the familiar Mandelbrot
- fractal that we know and love.
-
- The uncompressed .fli file is large, about 1.2Meg. Fortunately, it does
- compress well, down to 540K.
-
- This is my first attempt at animation of fractals. My next attempts will
- be to improve the resolution (to 640x480x256) and to improve the color
- mapping. In addition, I may explore the other Mandelbrot parameters as
- well as other fractal types. I may also generate "zoom movies".
-
- If you don't have a FLI viewer, there are some available (for DOS) via
- anonymous ftp from site wuarchive.wustl.edu in subdirectory
- /mirrors/msdos/graphics.
-
- If enough people request it, and it's been shown to work for most, I may
- consider posting it to the alt.binaries.pictures.fractals newsgroup. But
- let's see if it works o.k. before I take that leap. Please let me know
- if you get it to work alright.
