This page is currently under construction. Not all visible links are active. The intent is to create a good representation of the Fractint program and its capabilities, drawing on selected contributions from users. To start things off, the Fractint help files have been put in html format to provide a solid foundation to build on. This was done with the blessing from the Stone Soup Group. Eventually these pages will expand, taking contributions from other Fractint enthusiasts, reflecting the dynamic and generous nature that this program generates and which makes it great. One of the first things I'd like to add is a Fractint users gallery. It would be a selection of images and pages of links to other web pages created by fractint users. Email me at "noel@triumf.ca" if you have a link that you want included here or an image that you might want to contribute. There are collections of Fractint Parameter Files , Fractint Formula Files and Fractint Colourmap Files as well as the Fracxtr6 package which is an amazing collection of add-ons for the fractint program compiled by Dan Goldwater, available in the database. Feel free to send me more of your favourites.
Dan Goldwater daniel_goldwater@brown.edu has found a new home for the Fracxtra web page.
George Martin has written the penultimate formula file organizing
program, along with a comprehensive collection
of formulas. Thousands of parser formulas have been written by Fractint
users. A new version containing more formulae is now Available.
A compilation of this new formula output is contained in the file
ORGFRM.ZIP, and which
constitutes an encyclopedia of formulas written for Fractint. The
compilation included more than 4,500 formulas, arranged alphabetically
by name, and with the original source file shown in each formula by
comment. The package includes a utility program, orgform.exe, which
copies the formulas of ".frm" files into the compilation, skipping those
formulas which are already included in the compilation. Formula writers
are urged to consult this compilation in order to avoid giving a new
formula an existing formula name. George can be reached on compuserve at
[76440,1143], or 76440.1143@compuserve.com.
Sylvie Gallet has created a tutorial explaining how to create
Psuedo High Color and Psuedo True Color fractals. Check out
"The PHC Tutorial"
now!
I have added a small page dedicated to
High Iteration Fractals.
Bradley Beacham has kindly agreed to let me recreate a
web version of his
"Fractint Formula Tutorial"
. If you've been looking for information on
how to get that new formula of yours into Fractint but couldn't figure it
out, then this is the document for you. Even if you think you know all
there is to know about the formula parser, this makes an excellent review.
Who knows? You might even learn something. I did! If you would rather
work with his original document rather then my web version then,
that is also available.
William McWorter .
It starts off with very simple systems and develops quite nicely into a variety
of L-system themes, such as plants, tilings, space-filling curves, true
fractals etc. I think it makes a very useful addition to the growing collection
of tutorials and information about using the FRACTINT program. If you are
interested in L-systems then I'm sure that you will find this a fascinating and
useful study.
