It's already past ; 10am and the Fractal Central support staff is becoming impatient ; to set out on a trip to search for some old and worn-out objects ; which she must have. ; ; When the parameters of today's image are entered into the ; MandelbrotMix4 formula, all the excitement lies beyond the right ; edge of the default image, where a pair of siamese minibrots ; straddles the X-axis. Today's image lies in a spiral in the ; shoreline chaos of the bay that connects the pair. ; ; I named the image "Hidden Flames" because of the subtle flame- ; like features that dot the arms swirling toward the center. I ; rated it at a 5 because, despite my best intentions, it is still ; only an average image. ; ; A bit farther out in this same area lies a row of minibrots ; unlike any I have seen before. If things work out well, these ; midgets in a row may appear in a soon-to-come FOTD. ; ; The 14-minute render time drags when the fractalist has other ; things to do. It would be more convenient for most to download ; the already-rendered image from: ; ; ; ; or from: ; ; ; ; Though we had brilliant sun all day Saturday, it was quite cold ; here at Fractal Central, home of the dynamic duo of fractal ; cats. Brisk winds and a temperature in the 20's F, minus single ; digits C, kept the dynamic ones indoors, behaving very un-dynam- ; ically. Since cats of the fractal variety need outdoor warmth ; to enjoy life, the cats were unhappy, and a treat of tuna only ; partly lifted their flagging spirits. ; ; Today is once again cold, but not quite as cold as yesterday. ; Maybe the duo can find peace of mind. As for me, I find I have ; semi-volunteered for a trip to a local antique mall. These ; 'shopping' trips always raise the question, "if you don't know ; what you're shopping for, how will you know when you find it?" ; Until tomorrow, take care and keep your cat warm. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ Hidden_Flames { ; time=0:14:24.46--SF5 on a P200 reset=2002 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+2.85671879185512400/+0.016441220570067\ 03/7117130/1/85/7.17137860692385054e-008 params=4/-6.4/-6/-3/0/525 float=y maxiter=12000 inside=0 logmap=220 periodicity=10 colors=000CzzCxz5wz7uz7tx7ru7qr8oq8nn8nk8lh8ke9ic9\ h`9fZ9fa5hS9cVCbWE`ZIZ_LXbNVcSTfVQhXPm`Ml`JoiLybIn\ eGsbDlbAr`8i_7hZ4eK0KW0aV0_T0ZP0`S0XV0TX0Q_0Mb0Je2\ Gh3Dk59n75q93tA0wD0zE0zC0zG0zJ0zN0zS0zW2z_5zc8zhCz\ lEzqHzuLzzNtzQezWoz`0ziize2zb7z_AzWGzTJzQNzNTzJXzH\ bzEfzAlz8qz5xz0uz3tr4rk5ob7nV8tM8lN9fPA`QCWQDPSEJT\ GEVH8XJ9VHATECSCDQAEP8GM5HQ3IJ2JW0LH0M_0IT8GfLCuZ9\ l_Ew_IePN_ESV4P55NP7M88J99IAAHCCEGEGDDHCCI9CJ8AL5A\ M49N29N08P08Q07S07T05V05W04W04Z08`0Ac2Df5HiAJlEMoJ\ QrNTuTWxXZwZWu_TpTQtTNtcLreIreGqfDohAoi8nk5nl3ln0l\ n0if5h`CfWIeQNcLV`G`_AfZ5nX0uW0z_2zb7zfCziIzlNzqTx\ t_xxbxzbxzbxzbzzbzzbzzbzzbzzbzzbzzbzzbzzbzzbzzbzzb\ zzbzzbzzbzzbzzbzzbzzbzzbzzbzzbzzczzczzezzezzfzzfzz\ hzzhzzizzizzkzzkzzlzzlzznzznzzozzozzqzzqzzqzzqzzqz\ zqzzqzzqzzqzzqzzqzzqzzqzzqzzqzzqzzqzzqzzqzzqzzqzzq\ zzqzzqzzqzzqzzqzzqzzqzzqz } 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================================== ; ;
