Mission

This site is dedicated to producing high-precision deep-zoom animations and still images of the Mandelbrot set.

I am avoiding any sort of animations that are designed to show off a video technique, like wrapping the images around a 3-D box or anything like that. These animations are meant to show the content of the set itself, not to demonstrate some other video processing technique with the Mandelbrot set incidentally included.

Questions?

What the heck is a fractal? What's a Mandelbrot set? What is this all about? I've written a short explanation. The web is full of dozens of others, some of which I have listed on the Links page. E-mail me with any questions or comments and I'll be glad to answer. I hope I can build a good page explaining how this works and your comments and questions will help greatly with that.
