Today's version is ; a slight outzoom of the original image. The color has also been ; refined. ; ; ========================================================== ; ; CLASSIC FOTD, June 10, 2000 (Break-away Fractal [6]) ; ; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: ; ; Today's fractal is another surrealistic scene created with one ; of the MandNewt formulae, which are actually the Ikenaga ; function in disguise. I chose formula number 1 to explore for ; today's image, and the formula did not let me down. ; ; As is the case with many images created with these formulas, the ; inside fill has been set to bof60, which has a tendency to ; create bubbles. The bof61 inside fill also works well with ; these formulas, as was demonstrated with yesterday's FOTD. ; ; The picture itself is another surrealistic one, with a mass of ; bubbly froth at the bottom and bubbles of assorted sizes and ; shapes all through the scene. The largest bubble is off-screen, ; though its lower part fills the upper left of the picture. The ; intense purple background speaks of infinite depth. ; ; I named the picture "A Head of Bubbles" when I noticed the ; effect of individual bubbles breaking away from the mass of ; froth. The parameter file takes all of 6-1/2 minutes to render ; on a P200 machine. If that is too slow, the GIF image file has ; been posted to Paul Lee's web site at: ; ; ; ; The fractal weather today was quite warm, but without the ; oppressiveness we have so much of in this area in the summer. ; The temperature of 88F (31C) was a bit warmer than the fractal ; cats would have preferred, but they spent the afternoon on the ; back porch anyway. ; ; My philosophy once again floundered -- I'll try again tomorrow. ; Until then, take care, and when it's hot, try a cool fractal. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ A_Head_of_Bubbles { ; time=0:06:45.10--SF5 on a P200 reset=2000 type=formula formulafile=mandnewt.frm formulaname=MandNewt01 passes=1 center-mag=0.10382\ /0.313706/13.77989/1/-42.5/-1.2337353361147052e-014 params=-3.979/-3.596/1.305/-2.202/3.594/1.401 float=y maxiter=175 bailout=25 inside=bof60 logmap=yes symmetry=none periodicity=0 colors=000zzzzzzzyyxxyswyouyjsxgqxdpxaox_nwXmwUlwU\ kvUjvUiuUhuUgtUftUesUdsUcrUbrUaqU`qU_pUZpUYoUXnUWm\ UVlUUkTTjSSiRRhQQgPPfOOeNNdMMcLLbKKaJJ`IH_HFZGDYFB\ XEAWD9VC7TB6RA4O930c4zc6zc6zc6zc6zc7zc7zc7zc7zc7zc\ 7zc9zc9zc9zc9zc9zcAzcAzcAzcAzcAzcAzcCzcCzcCzcCzcCz\ cCzcCycCycDycDycDycFx00000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 0000000000000000000000000 } frm:MandNewt01 {; Jim Muth z=c=pixel: a=z^3+(c-1)*z-(p1*c) b=3*z^2+(p2*c-1) z=z-p3*a/b .00005 <= |a| } ; END PARAMETER FILE================================== ;
