Only its ; somewhat washed-out appearance prevents a higher rating. I ; named it "Fractal Geometry" when I noticed the unusually regular ; geometric pattern of filaments surrounding the central midget, ; which in today's image takes second place to its surroundings. ; This pattern looks surprisingly like the arrangement of seeds in ; a sunflower, and can be brought out even more clearly with other ; color palettes. ; ; The parent fractal is a vaguely Mandel-shaped open-area, narrow ; on the east and filled with chains of debris. Some of this ; debris extends in a broad filamentary loop into the solid ; material west of the open area. Today's scene is located in a ; sub-loop on this loop. ; ; The parent came about when I subtracted 47 parts of minus- ; epsilon from 47 parts of minus-pi and added 1/C. The scene I ; found in the parent is fair enough in its normal version, but ; unlike yesterday's image, it is even better in its evaporated ; version, which, made visible by the bof61 inside fill, was used ; as today's FOTD. ; ; The render time of 2 minutes is a bargain for such a highly- ; rated image. Those who are not impressed by bargains may ; download the completed image from: ; ; ; ; or from: ; ; ; ; The weather started good enough here at Fractal Central on ; Sunday, with sun and a temperature just about freezing. But in ; the afternoon, clouds moved in and a brief but heavy snow shower ; passed over, ending the cats' chances of a pleasant time ; outdoors. They satisfied themselves eating and keeping warm. ; Today is starting much colder, making it unlikely they will have ; any time at all outdoors. ; ; For me it's another work day, and not surprisingly, I already ; have some work on the shelf. So until next time, take care, and ; brace yourselves for the imminent release of the FOTD CD. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ Fractal_Geometry { ; time=0:02:00.34--SF5 on a P200 reset=2002 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-1.51658971637141400/-0.274992933413616\ 80/1.305493e+010/1/112.5/4.03474752740523579e-005 params=-47/-2.71828182845905/47/-3.14159265358979/\ 0/1e+100 float=y maxiter=1200 inside=bof61 periodicity=10 colors=000fG7gD7cJ6_P6XV6T`6Pf6Ml6Ir6Fw6Et9DrCCpEB\ nHBlKAjM9hP8fS7dU7bX6`_5Za4Xd4Vf7Wd9QcBXaDZ`G_ZI`Y\ KaWMaVOZTQWqSIbKNZklpjkpstzzzzXYeVMdTAcMKQPTMIa8G_\ AFYCEXEDVFCUHBSJARL9PM8OO7MQ6LR9NOBOMEPJGQHJRFLTCO\ UAQV8TW5VX3XY1aS7fMDkHIpBOu5Uz0Z2FqMPseYuyfvmdlbcc\ RbUGaL5`CXdcheZteUpdVmcWicXfbYbbZ_a_Xa`T`aQ_bM_cJZ\ dFZeCYf9Yf3_e5Zf7Yf9XfBXgDWgFVgHVgJUhLThNShPSiRRiT\ QiUQiSSgQUeOWcNXaLZ_J`YHbWGcUEeSCgQAiO9jM7lK5nI4oG\ 5mF5lF5kE5iE5hE5gD5fD6dC6cC6bC6aB6_B6ZA6YA6XA5VB5U\ B5TC4SC4RC4QD4PD3ND3ME3LE2KE2JF2IF2HF5O98V3AX5BZ6D\ _7Ea8Gb9HdAJfBKgCMiDNjEPlFQmGPiHOeINaJNZKMVLLRMKNN\ KKOQMSVNV_OYdP`iRdnSgsTjxUmsWkoYjk_ig`hcbgZdfVfeRg\ dNicJkbFlaMibTfc_dcfadl_dmZamZZnYWnYToXQoXNpWKpWHq\ VEqVBrU8rU5rU3dfGSsSRrTQqUPqVPpVOpWNoXMoYMnYLnZKm_\ Km_LoXLpVMqTMrRNsPNtNNuLOvJOwHPxFPyDPzBRvASrAUoAVk\ 9Wh9Yd9Za9_Y8aU8bR8cN7eK7 } 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================================== ; ;
