But because ; I inadvertently substituted a space band for an underscore ; between the words 'and' and 'hers', the word 'hers' did not ; appear when the parameter file was loaded into Fractint, and a ; great inequality was done to women. Since yesterday's image was ; named "His and Hers" for no reason at all, today's image can ; also be named for no reason at all. And so that justice might ; prevail, I have named today's image "Hers and His", with the ; feminine aspect in first place. ; ; The image is a scene in the parent fractal that results when 0.7 ; parts of Z and 0.7 parts of Z^5 are combined and C is added. ; This parent resembles a distorted M-set with its nose pointed ; southeast and its butt pointed northwest. Some distance beyond ; its butt lies a string of Julia-like open circles. Today's ; scene lies on a filament on the shore of one of the larger ; circles. ; ; To produce the strange effect, the scene was rendered with the ; outside set to 'fmod' and the inside set to 'bof61'. The inside ; part of the image consists of the interior of the central midget ; as well as the egg-shaped areas. I used these non-standard ; fills because when rendered in the normal manner, the image is ; downright dull. ; ; When the time arrived to rate the scene, I saw a picture that ; had been rescued from an abysmal rating of 3 or so and raised to ; an image that was actually a little above average. I rated ; today's image at a 6. ; ; The render time comes in at under 3 minutes on my tired-out ; fractal machine. It downloads in even less time from the FOTD ; web sites, which can be accessed at: ; ; ; ; and at: ; ; ; ; Wednesday brought another typical 93F 34C summer day to Fractal ; Central. The sun was hot, the humidity was high, the wind was ; light, and the air was polluted. It was just the kind of day to ; bring out the laziness in the fractal cats, who spent the entire ; afternoon sleeping on the lawn chairs in the shade of the holly ; trees. Today will be a hotter repeat. ; ; It will also be a repeat for me. I don't have much work to ; finish, but the little bit I do have must be finished today. ; Until next FOTD, take care, and the world is filled with unseen ; fractal wonders. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ Hers_and_His { ; time=0:02:54.61--SF5 on a P200 reset=2002 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=ident passes=1 center-mag=-0.610840504599416/+0.61145130410153/30\ 9223.4 params=0.7/1/0.7/5/0/0 float=y maxiter=800 inside=bof61 proximity=0.5 outside=fmod logmap=yes periodicity=10 colors=000otznszmrylqxkpwjovinuhmtg\ lsfkrejqdipchobgnafm`el_dkZcjYbiXahW`gV_fUZeTYdSXc\ RWbQVaPU`OT_NSZMRYLQXKPWJOVINUHMTGLSFKREJQDIPCHOBG\ NAFMAELBDKBCJEBIGAHHBGHBFJEELEBNGBPGBPGBRHBSHBUJBU\ JBWLBXLBZLB`NA`NAbPAdPAfRAfRAgRAiSAkSAlUAlUAnW7pW7\ rW7rX7sX7uZ7wZ7x`7x`7z`7zb7zb5zd5zd5zf5zf5zf5zg5zg\ 5zi5zi5zi5zg7zgAzgBzfBzfEzfGzdHzdHzdJzdLzbLzbNzbPz\ `Rz`Rx`SwZUwZUuZWuZXsXZsXZrX`pWbpWdnWdnWflUgkUgkUi\ iSkiSlgSlfRnfRpdRpdRrbPs`Pu`PuZNwZNxXNzXNzWLzULzUL\ zSJzSJzRJzPHzPHzNHzNHzLGzJGzJGzHEzHEzGEzAHzEGzGEzH\ BzJAzL7zN5zP4zR1zS0zW0zX0zZ0z`0zb0zd0zf0zg0zi0zi0z\ k0zk0zl0zl0zn0zn0zp0zp0zr0xr0ws0us0su0ru0pw0nw0kw0\ ix0gx0fz1dz4bz4`z5Zz5Wz7Uz7SzARzBPzBNzELzEJzGGzGEz\ HBzJAzJ7zL5zL4zN1zN0zP0zR0zR0zS0zS0zU0zZ0zW0zU0zS0\ zP0zN0zL0zH0zG0xE0uB0r70n51k44g05d07`0AZ0A`0B`0B`0\ B`0B`1B`4B`4Bb5Bb7BbABbABbBBbEBbEBbGBdHB } 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================================== ;
