Since it works 90-percent of the time, the thing to ; do seems to be wait until it works zero-percent of the time, ; whenever that may be, so that the repairman will have something ; to repair. ; ; While I'm waiting for the phone to break completely so that it ; can be repaired completely, I'll amuse myself by wandering ; through the world of fractals. Today's image takes us to the ; Julibrot of the formula (-Z^3)+C, where we enter the fourth ; dimension to examine one of the cubical midgets from an ; unimaginable angle. ; ; I named the scene that I found there "Crazy Cubical", because, ; though it is a perfectly normal cubical Mandeloid midget when ; viewed in the Mandel orientation, it is little more than a ; narrow slit when viewed in the direction of today's image. ; ; It's an average image with an average rating of 5. It's also a ; fast image with a render time of under 4 minutes. And best of ; all, the completed GIF file is available for downloading on the ; internet at: ; ; ; ; and at: ; ; ; ; The Friday weather was good enough here at Fractal Central, with ; lots of sun and a temperature of 86F 30C. A brief heavy shower ; passed over in the middle of the afternoon, but the fractal cats ; took it in stride, retreating indoors until the sun reappeared. ; When the day ended, the duo was happy. ; ; I'll be happy when I know that today has gone well, but even if ; it does, there is always tomorrow. So until then, take care, ; and be fractally correct. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ Crazy_Cubical { ; time=0:03:48.11--SF5 on a p200 reset=2002 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=multimin-XZ-YW-new passes=1 center-mag=-0.0/+0.0/6.12554e+007/0.01488/-5.33864\ 982303061897/-72.6208733939061801 params=-106.2/42\ .5/3/0/-0.939409509662/0.233374120602/-0.939409509\ 622/0.233374120602 float=y maxiter=1600 inside=0 logmap=126 periodicity=10 colors=000PekPbhP_ePXbPUZKRWFOTALQAINLLRVOVdRYjTao\ WdtZhz`kz_jz_jzZjwZjtYjmYjdXiaXiZWiWWiTViQViOViNTb\ NSWNRPNQINPBNO5SQGXSQaU`fWjkYtgZpd_la`iZ`eWaaTbZQb\ VNcSKdOHdKEeHBfD8fA7eB7dB7cB7bB7aB7`C7_C7ZC7YC7XC7\ WD7VD7UU7TX7S_7RbDTbJUePVjJLZECK935JEESOM`YVigbeaS\ aXIZS8WRBUQERPHPOKMOMKNPHMSFLVCKYAK_7Jb5Ie2Hh0Hj1L\ e1Oa1SY1VU1ZQ1aM1eI1hE1kA5fC8aDCYEFTFJPGMKHQFITBJX\ 6K_2LZ7MYCNXHOWMOVRPUWQT`RSeRRjSQoTPsTOmSOhSOcSOZS\ OUSNOSNJSNESN9SN4SR9PVDNYHLaLIdPGhTEkXBo`9rd7oeBle\ FieJfeNceR`eVZfYWfaTfeQfiNfmKfqIftKeqLenMdkNdhPdeQ\ cbRc_ScXU`WVYVW_UYaTZcS_eRagQbiPckOdmNfoagqogsoEub\ QwaUxgZz`czVhzYmz_rzbwzdzzfzzizzkzzmzzjzzhzzezzczz\ azzczzdzzezzgzzhzzizzjzzlzzmzznzzpzzqzzrzzszznzziz\ zdzz_zzVzzQzzLzzGzzKzzOzzSzzWzz_zzczzgzzfzzezzdzzd\ zzczzbzzbzzdzzfzzhzzizzkzzmzznzzpzzrzzszzmzzgzzazz\ XzzRzzLzzFzzAzzIzzPzzOzzO } frm:multimin-XZ-YW-new {; Jim Muth ; 0,0=para, 90,0=obl, 0,90=elip, 90,90=rect e=exp(flip(real(p1*.01745329251994))), f=exp(flip(imag(p1*.01745329251994))), z=f*real(pixel)+p3, c=e*imag(pixel)+p4: z=(-z)^(p2)+c, |z| <= 36 } ; END PARAMETER FILE================================== ;
