It's not a new formula; I have posted many FOTD images ; created by it in the past. But it gives an example that good ; things can sometimes come from fractured fractals. ; ; The formula being iterated is Z^(1.06)+C, a formula that ; normally would produce nothing but a tiny featureless dot in the ; center of the screen. (Change the real (p2) parameter to pi to ; see this dot.) But thanks to those multiple values and today's ; formula, which takes advantage of them, the tiny dot has been ; transformed into an immense cigar with many fields of chaos ; around its edges. Today's scene is a blow-up of the edge of one ; of those fields of chaos. ; ; I have named the image "Curlers" because of the many loops that ; fill it. Not really impressed with the image, I have rated it ; at only a 5. ; ; The render time of 1/2 hour is almost entirely expended on the ; top inch or so of the image, so don't be concerned when nothing ; much happens for a while. Those who prefer not to wait the 1/2 ; hour can download the finished image from: ; ; ; ; or from: ; ; ; ; Rain fell off and on all day Saturday here at Fractal Central, ; while the temperature reached 73F 23C. A thunder-shower at 6pm ; climaxed the day's events as well as the cats' dis-satisfaction. ; Needless to say, a good treat of tuna was needed. ; ; Today is starting cloudy, windy and chilly, with occasional ; bursts of light rain -- not a good sign for fractal cats. For ; me, it's a sign I might not be able to trim the grass, but may ; have to go along on a shopping trip. Until next time, take ; care, and don't get broken up over fractured fractals. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ Curlers { ; time=0:38:53.19--SF5 on a P200 reset=2002 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC1 function=floor passes=1 center-mag=-6.07363/12.6745/0.4719481/1/72.5/-1.23\ 3735336114705e-014 params=1.06/0/121.2/3000 float=y maxiter=4200 inside=0 symmetry=none periodicity=10 colors=0007EXCCZHB`M9bR7dW6f`4hd3je7feAceE`eHYfLVf\ OSfSPfVLfZIgaFgeCgh9gl6go3dl5bi6`f8Zc9W`BUYCSVEQSF\ NPHLMIJJKHGLFDMHHPJKSLNVMQXOT_QWbRZdTagVdjWglXgmYf\ mxSuxRvsSsoSpjTmfTjaUhYUeTVbPV_KWXGWVFYQF_ME`IEbDD\ c9De5Df1Fc5Ga9H_DIXHJVLKTPLRTMOXNM`OKdPHhQFlRDpSBs\ PAnM9iJ8dH7_E6VB5Q94L63G32B116D3NP5c`7tZ8qY9oXAmWB\ kVCiUDgTEeSFcRGaQH_PIYOJWNJUPMTQPSSRSTURUWRWZQX`QZ\ cP_eP`hObjOcmNdoNbmMalL`jKZiJYhIXfHWeGUcFTbESaDR_C\ PZBOXANW9MV9OXBPZDQ`ERaGScIUeJVgLWhNXjOYlQZmR_kP`i\ OagNbeMccLdaKd_JeZLeYNfXPfWRgVThUVhTXiSZiR`jQbkPdk\ OflNhlMj`VqQcxSerUflWgfYi`ZjW`kQbmKdnEeo9`n8Wn7Sn6\ Nn5In4En39n24n10n09j4Ig8QdCOeAMf9Kg7Ig6Gh5Ei3Cj2Bj\ 1bl6hn9moCrqFwrItnJrkKphKmdLkaLiZMfVNdSNbPO_LOYIPW\ FQTBQR8RP5RKGPFRNBaL6lJ2wI4wJ6wJ7wK9wKBwKCwLEwLFwL\ EvNEuOEtPDsRDrSDqTCpVCoWCnXBmZBl_Bk`AjbAicAhdAheDk\ cGmbJoaMq_PsZSuYVwX4IT2GU } frm:MandelbrotBC1 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100 p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*fn1(p/(2*PI)) r=real(p2)-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
