It's not that I'm trying to regain some of ; that long-gone school spirit; it's that these particular colors ; make the most of a routine image of just another midget. ; ; The exact amount of Z and Z^3 is determined by the real(p3) ; parameter, and is extremely critical. The formula, like many ; formulae created by M-Mix4, actually behaves as though the ; real(p3) parameter brought the formula near an asypmtotic point, ; where the fractal undergoes a sudden drastic change. ; ; The name "Bluebrot" was not named after my high-school football ; team, which was called the "Engineers", and usually whipped the ; starch out of their rival team down the road, which went by the ; name of the "Knights". The image's name is simply the shortest ; and most appropriate descriptive name I could come up with after ; a few minutes pondering the image. ; ; I wish I could rate the image something above a boringly average ; 5, but honesty prevails here at Fractal Central, and I always ; give the images a rating that reflects my degree of satisfaction ; or dis-satisfaction. ; ; If the parameter file ran in a minute or two, the rating might ; have been higher. As it is, the 36-minute render time is a bit ; much for such a mediocre image . . . except for the curious, ; that is. But relief in the form of the completed GIF image is ; at hand. The image will soon be available on the two FOTD web ; sites found at: ; ; ; ; and ; ; ; ; The weather Saturday here at Fractal Central was perfect, with ; not a cloud in the sky and a cat-pleasing temperature of 84F ; 29C. The cats in question were appropriately pleased. Tippy, ; the long-tailed tabby, actually thanked me for the wonderful day ; he had spent in the yard. Thomas, the overweight yellow-orange, ; said nothing, assuming that I already knew he was thankful. ; ; As for myself, it's once again Sunday, and I'll be pleased if I ; can get through the day without doing any serious work. But ; regardless, I'll still have a pleasant day. Until next FOTD on ; Sep 10, take care, and don't let a blue fractal give you a case ; of the blues. ; ; P.S. -- And don't forget that soon-to-appear FOTD CD! ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ Bluebrot { ; time=0:36:11.98--SF5 on a P233 reset=2002 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=ident passes=1 center-mag=+0.25621249906585860/+6.284024255056992\ 00/2.779084e+008/1/-112.5/-3.06632516054589077e-005 params=1/1/0.03/3/-0.003/0 float=y maxiter=6000 inside=0 logmap=698 periodicity=10 colors=000K0RM0UO0ZQ0cS0hU8mSIrSSwSazSizSszSzzSzzS\ zzSzzSzzIzz8sk0YL0B0000000000000100600B00G00L00P00\ U00_00d00i00n00s00p00n03n3DkINkYYfaUdfUakU_pUYuUUz\ SSzSPzSNzSLzSIzSfzSzzPzz3zz0xz0sz0nz0iz0dz0_z8UzIP\ zSLz_GziBzs6zp3sf0a_0_30_0Pz0sz0uz0uz0uz0uz0uz0uz0\ uz3xzBxzIxzNxzUxz_xzfxzkszipzinzfkzfizdfzddzaazafz\ YizSkzNnsIpiDs_8uP3d83P03L08G1DD3GD1DD1DD1DSz0Pz0N\ z0Lz0Ix0Nz0Sz0Yz0az3fzGkzSpzduzpzzzzzzzzzzzzz_zx8z\ u6zu3xs1ps1kp0dp0Yn0Sn0Lk0Dk08d0DY0GP0IL0LD0N60P00\ U00Y00_00a00d00f00a08_DLUSYSfiNuuLzzIPzsNxpNuzLskL\ niIifIfdIaaG__GUYDSUDNSBLPBGNBDLBDLDBLDBIDBID0zD0z\ D0zD0zD0zD0zD0zD0zD0zD0uD0sD0pD0kD0iD0fD08D0dD0_D0\ YD0UD0PD0ND0LD0GD0DD0BzfUzdSzaSzaSz_PzYPzYPzUNzSNz\ SNzPLzNLzNLxLIsIIpIInGGiDGfDGaBDYDLSGSNI_ILfDNn8Pu\ 3Sz0Uz0Yz0_z0_z0_z0Yz0Yz0Yz0Yz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Sz0Sz0S\ z0Sz0Pz0Pz0Pz0PzDSzGPzINz } frm:MandelbrotMix4 {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=1/f, h=1/d, j=1/(f-b), z=(-a*b*g*h)^j, k=real(p3)+1, l=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < l } ; END PARAMETER FILE================================== ; ;
