[edit] Buddhabrot

Buddhabrot fractal
Buddhabrot fractal
Reason
Unacceptable resolution for a computer-generated fractal. These images can be produced to arbitrary detail, there's no reason one this blurry and lo-res should be featured.

  • delist dissapointing at full rez. Debivort 21:06, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Re-generate The code is provided at User:Evercat/Buddhabrot.c - It should be trivial to create it at arbitrarily high resolution. Vanished user talk 22:03, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
I tried to regenerate it, but it's not as simple as changing the height and width in the code, since there's some kind of balance between the number of samples, the color curve, and the resolution that I couldn't understand. (Also, at high resolutions it takes hours to run, so it is difficult to do this by trial and error.) I agree, though, that someone who understands the code and the settings used to produce this image could produce a high-resolution version easily. — brighterorange (talk) 13:21, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
I left a note on Evercat's talk page if he ever checks by. NauticaShades 22:24, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
There's a very strong random element in what the final outcome looks like. THat one worked out particularly well. Plus I barely remember how the code works and what good settings would be. :-) Evercat 23:49, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delist. If a better version is provided, let it pass through the usual nomination procedure. In the meantime, this shoud be delisted per Froth. ~ Veledan • T 00:10, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delist per above. Matt Deres 01:25, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep until high-rez replacement is made, then replace, per Vanished user Spebudmak 21:08, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delist Bleh. Perhaps someone could contact the creator?--HereToHelp 01:49, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Re-Generate. Shouldn't be too hard. NauticaShades 22:24, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

A quick google search throws up this promising Sourceforge project (Windoze only, so don't look at me). Regeneration shouldn't be that hard... MER-C 06:01, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Re-Generate. Per above points. It is best not to delist before then. --Sharkface217 01:29, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
    • Well it's best not to leave this thing featured indefinitely until someone decides to re-render it --frotht 09:00, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delist - rez. --Sean 15:57, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
