Mandelbrot & stuff!

Posted by wazu on Nov. 28, 2007, 2:20 a.m.

Things I discovered while writing and running a renderer of the Mandelbrot set in GM:

1. It's slow.

2. It's barely recognizable when using the "nebulabrot" method! - But using the normal method produces alright images… if you can wait a couple of hours for the thousands of iterations per pixel to render O_O (GM probably isn't accurate enough, I checked the code about a million times, and no explanation for the giant X you see in the following images:)

1. Nebulabrot at 16 iterations:

2. Nebulabrot at 6 iterations:

3. Some random other generated image I made while I was bored, anyway, 9 iterations of it:

4. The result of me raping the Julia equation:

5. Raeped it again:

6. Moar raep:

7. Oops, moar raep yet agenz =D:

8. Some lightninz!!11!eleventy one!!!11!!!!:

Phew, I have more, but I'll leave it for another time. DISCUSS IT NAO, MINIONS!

I don't know why, but I'm scared when I watch image 5.
