It is a warped ; Mandelbrot created from the basic Mandel formula in Fractint, ; and colored using the ranges feature. There are only 10 colors ; in the entire picture, but those ten colors had to be carefully ; adjusted to create the three-dimensional effect of the foreground ; monster arms covering and enveloping the blue remains of the ; classic Mandelbrot set. ; ; I have always been fascinated by the way perturbed points, no ; matter where they start, if they don't escape first, eventually ; settle into the same orbits as points that start at 0,0, giving ; a ghostly background image in the high iteration range. The ; effect is almost one of independent but overlapping fractals, as ; this picture, which has been posted to ABPF, illustrates. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE=================================================== monster { ; Draw time 2 minutes on a P200 reset=1950 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-0.25810954616588430/+0.6410480167014\ 6280/76.36852 params=0.777/-0.555 float=y maxiter=32500 bailout=100 inside=0 logmap=yes symmetry=none periodicity=25 ranges=0/-1/300/600/1000/1600/2400/3600/500\ 0/10000/32500 colors=000N9D`OKPTsPVz0cp0ew0iz0mz`\ kzYmwVpzSPRPSVMWYr0s`IiSzN<5>KbZyx2<2>TdT9Id<5>IX\ `oUH<5>RYWNZZHRH<2>JXWyiQ<4>Q__vzd<2>TeaUeZSc_Qb_\ gbY<2>ZNW<4>hL9dgS2Z7<2>f11<3>PbaXMNSRSNVXGhXHdZI\ a_IbR<5>J_ZJZ_LKL<6>JYZjUh<2>QYba6J<5>LVZdDw<5>MW\ cEFDHPPGeb<5>J_`ScG<6>KZZbRe<3>NYaYKp<6>KYb1`D7_L\ DZTjYN<3>OZZV3T<6>KV_MT9U`iyR_jU`XX`eQX<5>MY`vuC\ <5>OaYrVs<6>NZba69SLN4Lf9QdEVbC2X<3>IT`cYDLV1<5>\ JZWYum<6>K`a1I_<4>GX`pCW_OZZVD<5>LZYBT8<2>HYUez1\ UlJT57<6>KWYhrBWhOgOk<6>MYa } ; END PARAMETER FILE==================================================== ;
