Buddhabrot algorithm available on the Mandelbrot Dazibao

[Marc Jaouen]

I'm still tweaking the code, so I did not link the page directly from the
site main page. So, be very nice and consider it's a beta version. The first
buddhabrot graphic is far from the real one (I have posted the 2 pics to let
you appreciate :-), but it's enough to make sure the algorithm works.

The result seems to be very sensitive to the max number of iterations in the
MSet mill. The pic I have posted was made with 30 iterations only, and my
Dell is currently running with 100.

Feel free to give your feedback, and enjoy the rest of the Mandelbrot
Dazibao !

hello all,

i'm the discoverer of the buddhabrot method though i've changed my name due
to my sex change transition and haven't updated most of my web site and
publications. marc contacted me about the boddhabrot technique and i wanted
to note that his renderings are indeed correct.

regarding the selection of an iteration limit, the resulting images all have
that distinctive "religious" feel though the style changes with the choice
of iteration limit. with low limits, the images have a soft, ghostly look
whereas higher choices of limits are increasingly ornate. you'll note near
the bottom of the buddhabrot web page
(http://www.superliminal.com/fractals/bbrot/bbrot.htm) that i describe how i
produce colored images by compositing three buddhabrot images using low,
medium, and high limits, and assigning each to a different truecolor RGB
channel precisely as astronomers produce "false color" images by compositing
three grayscale photographs exposed from different frequencies of light.

another important thing to keep in mind is that these images are all
generating the unmodified mandlebrot formula. the only thing that's
different is the way that mathematical object is "viewed". so just as there
are many ways to make an image of any physical object, without any of them
being the "correct" way, the buddhabrot rendering technique is an equally
valid ways of "viewing" the mandelbrot set compared to the standard coloring
technique.

enjoy!
