In today's image I color the inside with the ; < epsiloncross > option. This option assigns colors to trapped ; points if they come within a certain 'proximity' distance of the ; X or Y axes. As far as I can remember, this is the first time I ; have used this option in an FOTD image. In today's image, the ; option creates the dark parabolic shapes in the foreground. The ; brilliantly colored arms consist of normal outside material. ; ; The parent fractal, which is created by combining portions of ; Z^(-1.85) and Z^(-5.5), was found with Fractint's evolver ; feature. It consists of an indescribable mass of various shaped ; bays surrounded by equally indescribable outside material. A ; ring of non-critical debris lies off the screen in the far ; distant southeast suburbs, but this ring does not figure in ; today's image, which is located in a valley at the tip of a ; filament extending from a bud in a small critical area at the ; northern end of the main body of bays. ; ; After studying today's image a few minutes, I was reminded of ; the solar corona. The name "Solar Wind" soon followed. The ; problem of rating the image was to decide between a 6 or a 7. ; In the end, I decided to flatter myself with a rating of 7. ; ; The render time of 11 minutes can be avoided by downloading the ; completed image from one of the FOTD web sites. Paul's site is ; at: ; ; ; ; Scott's site can be found at: ; ; ; ; Monday morning brought heavy thunder-storms to F.C., but the ; rain ended by noon, leading to a warm breezy afternoon that, by ; 3:30pm, dried the grass just enough for the dynamic duo to have ; a brief romp in the yard. The temperature of 70F 21C made up ; for any left-over dampness. ; ; This morning is once again starting rainy. It remains to be ; seen how well the fractal duo will handle the fresh dampness. ; As for me, I've got some work to handle. And the best way to ; handle the work is to do it. When the work is behind me, I'll ; start the search for tomorrow's fractal. Until next FOTD, take ; care, and bomb the enemy with fractals -- they are a lot less ; damaging. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ Solar_Wind { ; time=0:11:11.63--SF5 on a P200 reset=2002 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+0.88504964147477720/-0.010818060826707\ 56/2895828/1/70/1.64751498554771558e-009 params=6.\ 78/-1.85/6.035/-5.5/0/0 float=y maxiter=1200 inside=epsiloncross proximity=0.006 logmap=140 periodicity=10 colors=0000008UcAVdDWeGZgI_hK`jNclPdkR`gUVjWUj`UY`\ UU`UQ`UU`UY`W`YadVfgRlkOqoNsqLvr0zp2zm5yk7wh9ugCre\ EpcHmaJj_LgYOeWPcUR`RUZQWWOZTL`QKcOIeLGgJEjHClE9l8\ 9mC8oE8pH8qK8rN8sP8sR7uV7vY7w_7xa7ye7yg6zj6zl6zp6z\ r6zu6zw6zqAylEwgIucLrYPpTTmOWkJ_hDcf8fd3ja0mc0oc0o\ d1pd1pd1pe2qe2qf2rf3rf3rg3sg5sh5uh5uh6uj6vj6vk7wk7\ wk7wg7sd7p`7lY7hU7eQ7aU6_W5YZ3V`3Tc2Qe1Oh1Nk0Km0Ip\ 0Gr0Du0Ax08w09w0Av0Cv0Du0Eu0Eu0Gs0Hs1Ir1Jr2Jr2Kq3L\ q3Np5Op5Pp6Po6Qo7Rm7Tm8Up3Wm8UkDTjIRgNQeROdWNa`L`e\ KZjIWoHVsGTxERzDPyCOwANu9Ls8Kq7Jo6Im5Hk3Gh2Eg2Hh5J\ h7Kj9NjCPjEQkHTkJUkLTgNReORaOQ_PPYPPUQORQOORNLRLJT\ LGUKDUK9VJ7VI5WI1WH0YH0YJ0UK3QL7NOAKPEHQIDTLAUP7VT\ 3WW1UY5TY7QYAPYDNZGLZJJZLIZPHZRE_UD_YA__9_c7`e6`g3\ `k2`m1`p3al5cj6df7ed8ea9fZCgWDhTEjQGjOHkKIlIJmELoC\ No9Op6Pq3Qr0Rs0Ts0Ul7UeJVZV_6Gc6Ge6Gc8I`9JZCLYDNVE\ OTHQQIRPJTNLVKNWJOYDLVER` } 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================================== ; ;
