O . D . S How to get good Julias with GodPaint's fractal function ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you try to draw some Julia pictures with GodPaint's default settings you won't get very far...this is because those defaults are for the Mandlebrot set. Below is a table of values which can be considered a default set for the Julias: VARIABLE START END A 0 0 0 0 +2 9 9 9 B 0 0 0 0 +2 9 9 9 P -2 9 9 9 0 9 9 9 Q -2 9 9 9 0 9 9 9 If you set the variables to the above values you should get some kind of concentric circles pattern. Not very interesting until you slightly alter some of those values. To now get some truly amazing Julias try the following: Change A start to -1, +1 or +2. Change B start to -2, -1, +1 or +2. Combinations of the above. Do the above and you should get some nice Julias. You can get some even better ones by trying these: Change A start's '0 0 0' to '9 9 9' in increments of 50 or 100. Change B start's '0 0 0' to '9 9 9' in increments of 50 or 100. Combinations of the above (A & B's '0 0 0' can be different!). For a very nice Julia animation try changing the '0 0 0' of A and B from '3 5 0' to '4 0 0' in small steps (increments of 5 or 10). NOTE: THERE SEEMS TO BE A BIT OF A BUG! TRY CHANGING A-START'S '0 0 0' ÿÿÿÿ AND WATCH A-END'S '9 9 9'...SEEMS TO ALTER THE A-END RATHER THAN THE A-START FOR THE 2 LEAST SIGNIFICANT VALUES (BETWEEN 1 AND 99, 101 AND 199 ETC)!! Try this one: Iter:99 VARIABLE START END A 0 x y z +2 9 9 9 B 0 x y z +2 9 9 9 P -2 9 9 9 -1 9 9 9 Q -2 9 9 9 -1 9 9 9 For x, y & z go in increments of about 2 or 3 from 370 to 400. SH3/RG
