Well, ; maybe not, maybe a rating of 8 would be more accurate, but I've ; been hard on myself lately and it's about time I give myself a ; break, so I decided that today's image rates a 9, which equals ; 'one of the all-time best'. ; ; The parent fractal was produced by subtracting Z from Z^(-1.08) ; and adding (1/C). The resulting image resembles a distorted and ; somewhat lopsided Mandeloid standing on its nose. Today's scene ; is located in the East Valley area of this parent, which in this ; case is a north valley. ; ; I named the image "Deep in Inner Space" because I'm in a rather ; subjective mood this morning. The picture has unusually smooth ; coloring, at least on my fractal monitor, with the bands being ; almost invisible. The overall effect is one of a serene, hazy, ; fantastic fractal landscape, with gossamer arms composed of ; clouds of invisible smaller midgets extending outward from the ; central midget in a star-like shape. ; ; The price to pay for all this serenity is the 1/2 hour required ; to render the scene from the attached parameter file. And even ; that price may be avoided by downloading the completed image ; from: ; ; ; ; or from: ; ; ; ; Lots of clouds spoiled the day here at Fractal Central on ; Monday, but the temperature of 73F 18C was close to perfect, and ; the fractal cats made the most of it. Today is starting cloudy ; again, with rain forecast for later in the day. The duo will ; have a marginal day at best. ; ; I'm having a fair to good day -- so far that is. I hope the ; pleasantness can continue. With any luck at all, it will. In ; any case, until next time, which will arrive in 24 hours, take ; care, and last year the farmers prayed for rain. This year ; their prayers are being answered. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ Deep_In_InnerSpace { ; time=0:29:24.20--SF5 on a P200 reset=2002 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+0.02357251356169931/+0.372397927789504\ 30/1.14291e+008/1/10/1.30309761642993793e-006 params=1/-1.08/-1/1/0/300 float=y maxiter=2500 inside=0 logmap=644 periodicity=10 colors=000EAUFBVFBVFBWFBWFBXGBXGBYGBYGBZGBZHB_HD_H\ D`HD`HDaIDaIDbIDbIDcIDcJDdJDdJDeJEeJEfJEfLEgLEgLEh\ LEhLEiMEiMEjMEjMEkMFkNFlNFlNFmNFmNFnOFnOFoOFoOFpOF\ pJGqMFqNFqOFqPFqQFpREpSEpTEpUEoVEoWDoYDoYDn_Dn_Dna\ BnaBmbBmcBmdBmeAmfAmgAmhAmiAlj9lk9ll9lm9kn9ko7kp7k\ q7jr7js7js6ju6iu6iv6iv6ix4kw6jw6iw6iw6hw6hv7hv7hv7\ gv7gv7fv7fv9ev9ev9dv9cv9cuAbuAbuAauAauAauAatB_tB_t\ B_tB_tBZsDYsDYsDXsDXsDWsDWsEVsEVsEUsEUsETtBUsDTsET\ sETrFTqFTqGTpHTpHToITnITnJTmLTmLTmMTlMTlNTkOSjOSjP\ SiPShQShRShRShSSgSSfTSfUSeUSdVSzVSzWSzpPzpQzpRzpSz\ pSbQTaPUaNUaLV_IW_FX_GW_HWaHWaIWaIWaJVaJVaLVbLVbMV\ bMVcNUcOUdOUdPUdPUeQTeQTeRTfRTfSTfSTgTSgUShUShVShV\ ShWRhWRhXRiXRiYRiYRjZQj_Qk_Qk_Qk_QlaPlaPlaPmaPmbPm\ bPmcOmdOndOneOneOofNofNogNpgNphNreMqgNphNoiOnjOmlP\ mmPlnPkoQjqQirRhsRjuPktQmtRntRpuSrvUsvTuwTvxSxySzz\ RzzRzzQzzQzzPzzPzzOzzOzzN } 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================================== ;
