Python Fractal Rendering Script

Primary LanguagePython

Fractals


Latest Release

  • This script will prompt for in input of a fractal algorithym of the form z = z^n + c.
  • c is the independent complex variable, and z is the dependent variable, changed after each iteration.
  • I would suggest using the fractal z = z^2 + c with a resolution of 500x500 pixels, domain of [-2, 2], range of [-2, 2] and 1000 iterations for your first try.
  • More iterations make the image more accurate, but take longer to render. 1000 iterations is a good value if you're resolution isn't too crazy.
  • See some example renders at www.livepond.net/sites/fractals
  • You can explore a render that took over 130 hours in 12500 x 25000 resolution at: livepond.net/sites/fractals/MEGA.png
  • The python modules: Pillow and NumPy are required for the python script.
