Well, the ability to read the old legacy files was added over the course of the last few months and seems to be working pretty well. A lot of the parameter editing is in there, and now I have the ability to save files and export images. As an example you can see the latest …

Things are shaping up for Fractal Domains X

Back to the Future!

Ganglion

Ganglion.big

Rational Julia set with “stalk” orbit trap. This Julia set was generated from the rational function

f(z) = z^4/(z^3 + 1) + c, c = -0.5196152 + 0.9165436 i

This fractal is based on the same formula as the previous Fractal of the Week “Serrated,” except with a different value used …

Serrated

serrated.big

Rational Julia set with “stalk” orbit trap. This Julia set was generated from the rational function

f(z) = z^4/(z^3 + 1) + c, c = 0.1876388 + 0.9526279 i

Next week I’ll post another “stalk” style fractal based on the same formula with a different value used for the constant “c”.

“Serrated” …
