Deep zoom. 2^316!. Thats 315 zooms.Note. zoom doesnt deviate from the X axis, to save render time.First frame doubles in size every second.You world need a monitor 2^316 times the size of a normal one to view the whole of the first frame by the time you get to the last frame.That’s approx 2^176 times the size of the known universe. Thats just so big you cant comprehend it.Done using fractalExtreme.Dell D420, dual core,2Hrs 30 mins render on the dell d420.Sorry about the jerkiness and loss of definition, I had to get it below 100MB.

Bizarre.My first serious C program was a Mandelbrot generator, which I wrote on my first PC — a 12MHz 386SX — c. 1989.

This is way better than reality. At the lowest level, how many decimal places in the coordinates do you need to consider in order to evaluate whether a point is in or out?
