The exponents ; however were chosen by the man, who had no time to dare to ; venture intrepidly. ; ; The image itself is another of those ghostly ones created by ; finding an interesting scene in a fractal which contains ; negative exponents, then raising the bailout until every point ; is trapped and the image consists of nothing but the infinite ; fractal ocean. At this point, if an inside fill such as bof60 ; is applied, a reflection of the original image almost magically ; reappears, sometimes looking even better than the original ; itself. ; ; I named the image "Sub-Marine Scene", though it has little resem- ; blance to the underwater world. I rated it at a 6, which might ; be a bit optimistic considering the hasty and somewhat muddy ; coloring. The render time of 12 minutes (on my tired machine) ; can be avoided by downloading the completed image from: ; ; ; ; or from: ; ; ; ; With a warm sun, the temperature reached 37F 3C here at Fractal ; Central on Monday, but the winds were over 40mph 64kph, which ; made the intrepid duo quite skittish, and cut their outdoor time ; to a few minutes. They must be getting used to being house- ; bound, because they were actually quite happy with themselves ; through the long afternoon. At dinner time I rewarded their ; patience with a treat of tuna. But today is much colder, and ; light snow is falling. Their patience will be tried far more ; severely. ; ; Looking at the clock on the wall over my desk, I see that it is ; time to get busy on the unexpectedly tall pile of tasks on the ; shelf beside me. Until next time, take care, and be sure to try ; the fractal diet. Eat only fractals for a month and watch those ; pounds and ounces (kilograms and grams) vanish like magic. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ Sub-Marine_Scene { ; time=0:12:16.60--SF5 on a p200 reset=2002 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+2.27593538850584600/+0.293765268933583\ 40/3.698853e+008/1/57.5/-8.49740486379493842e-005 params=-11.49790215765862/-1.3/-10.61464473403119/\ -9.4/0/1e+100 float=y maxiter=1200 inside=bof61 symmetry=none periodicity=10 colors=000zlJzmJznKzoKzpKzqLzrMzsOztQzuSzvUNBWQCZR\ C`SCbAcaAc`9b_8bZ8bY7bX6aW6aV5aU5aT6bV6bX7cY0007da\ 8db8ed9ef9fg9fiUYVSXXQVZOU`MTcKReIQgGPiENlCMnALp5G\ q9KrDOrGSrKWrNZrRbrVfrYjranr`wsdqrhlqkgqoapsXoxQpv\ SotUnrWmqYlo_km`jkbijdhhfgfhfeiedjdckcclcbmbambana\ `oa_p`_p`Zq_Zr_YsZXtYXtYWuXVvX000UwWTxVTyVSzUSzUUw\ WWuXYsY_pZan_cl`ejaggbieckcdmaeoZfqXgsVhvRguTitVjs\ XkrZmq`nt`pqaoq`pp_qpZroYsoXtnWumUvuWDrYGo_JlbNidQ\ ffUbiX_k_XmcUpfRrjOtmKwqKwpKwpLwnMwmNwkOwiOwhPwfQw\ eRwcSwaTw`TwZUwY000WwUXwTYwRYwQZwO_wM`wLawJbwHdrHg\ lGjgFmaEpXDsRCvLBrSEqTGpUIoVKnWMmXOlYQkZSj_Ui`Wgxz\ fzzevzduzctzbszarz`qy_pxZowYnvWmuYjqYioXhmXgkWfjWe\ hWdfVcdVbbU`aU__TZYTXWTVUSTTSRRRPPRNNQKLQLLROMRPMS\ SNSTPRWRQYTP`VObXNdZMf`LibKkdJnfIpiOndTobYo`bpZgpX\ lqVrrTsmQthNufNvdNwbNx`NyZMzXMzYMzZMz_Mz`LzaLzbLzc\ LzdLzeKzfKzgKzhKziKzjJzkJ } 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================================== ; ;
