Display stuff

Decisions, decisions! The web environment (ok, MY web environment) is less than ideal for displaying images like these. For instance Netscape's internal GIF viewer is murder on 'em. For best results either use an external viewer, or save them to disk for later. If your video can handle it, you can also just run at more than 256 colors, which solves the problem neatly. Overkill, but there ya' go.

The images stored here are 640 x 480 x 8bit (256 colors). While not ideal (ok, it bites), at least that makes for fairly quick loading.

Most will look much better at higher res (I use 1024 x 768). To see that, you can generate 'em yourself, using Fractint, like I do. (Or get the CD-ROM? )

To that end, each image page has a download link to grab the companion PAR (a Fractint PARameter file) to recreate (or change!) the images. Unzip it in a temporary directory, and check the README file enclosed for further info.

PLEASE NOTE: The images on these pages are in interlaced GIF format to make the downloading a little friendlier. Unfortunately, Fractint doesn't support reading interlaced GIFs. So if you download the pics, you'll need to use another viewer to look at them. Ironic, eh? The PAR files will still let you recreate them from scratch.

I got an email the other day, asking me if I used another program to enhance the images after they were rendered. Nope. Outside of some resizing and format conversion, all of this came directly from Fractint. No filters, no effects, no post-processing. The magic's in the numbers.
