The original ; image as it appeared on May 15, 2001 consisted of a Mandeloid- ; shaped object at the center of a largely empty frame. As it ; appears today, the Mandeloid has been turned upside down, and I ; have zoomed in much tighter. The color is also entirely new. ; All these changes make the image virtually a new one and have ; justified a name change from "All Pooped Out" to "Inside-Out ; Midget". The sizzling render time of one minute should make ; running the parameter file almost a joy. ; ; =========================================================== ; ; Classic FOTD -- May 15, 2001 (Rating 7) ; ; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: ; ; Where are all those extra FOTD's coming from? Every time I post ; through AOL, it seems to happen. ; ; Today's FOTD holds a surprise. During the first half of the ; render, it looks notably unimpressive, but the lower half ; features a most unusual Mandeloid. This is not a midget -- it ; is the whole fractal, which explains why the render goes so fast. ; ; The iterated formula is a simple one, subtracting a portion of ; Z^(-0.7) from Z^(0.7) then adding 1/C. The result is a picture ; of a totally pooped-out Mandeloid lying flat on its face. I had ; no choice but to name the image "All Pooped Out". I rated it a ; 7 because I think it's kind of cute, though I really don't care ; much for funny-face fractals. ; ; The render time of under 3 minutes is reasonable. If it is not ; reasonable enough, the GIF file of the image is available on the ; Web at Paul's site at: ; ; ; ; and at Scott's site at: ; ; ; ; The fractal weather today was reasonably pleasant, though a dry ; squall spoiled the evening. The afternoon temperature of 73F ; (23C) kept the cats happy. ; ; I've got a busy day coming, so that's it for now. Until next ; FOTD, take care, and see you soon. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ Inside-Out_Midget { ; time=0:01:17.94--SF5 on a P200 reset=2001 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip float=y center-mag=-0.0158567/-0.125422/53.23071/1/-32.5/\ -1.7772588956e-013 params=1/0.7/-1/-0.7/-4.5/5000 maxiter=440 inside=atan logmap=yes periodicity=10 colors=000ZWSZWS_VR`VQ`VQaVPbVPbVO7MM7MM7MM7ML6ML6\ Ma6M`6M_6MZ6MY6MW6MV5MU5LS5KR5JQ5IO5HN5GM4EJ5EK6EK\ 6DK7EK7EL8FM8FN9GP9HQAHRAISBITBJUCJVCKWDVYDVZEW_EW\ `FXaFXbGYcGYdHZfH_gI_hI`iJ`jJakKalKbmLcoLcpMdqMdrN\ esNetOfuOfvPeuQetQdsRdrRcqScqTbpTboUanUamV`lV`lW_k\ X_jXZiYZhYYhZYgZXf_Xe`Xd`WcaWcaVbbVabU`cU_dT_dTZeS\ YUFKUA0UFKUFKeQUePTePSeOPeOKeNFeNAeN5eM0fM0gL0hL0i\ K0jK0kJ0lJ0m00n10o20p30q40r50s60t70u80v90vK0v90u80\ t70s60r50q40p30o20n10m00l00k00j00i00h00g00f00eTOdU\ PcUQbVRaWR`XS_YTZZUXZVV_WU`XTaYSbYRcZQc_Pd`OeaNfbM\ gcLhcKidIieHjfGkgFlhEmiDniCnjBokApl9qm8rn7so6so7rn\ 7rn7qn7qn8qn8pm8pm8pm9om9om9nl9nlAnlAmlAmlAmlBlkBl\ kBkkBkkCkkCjjCjjCjjDijDijDijDhiDhiEgiEgiEgiEfhFfhF\ fhFehFehGdgGdgGdgGcgHcgHcgHbfHbfIafIafIafI`eJ`eJ`e\ J_eJ_eJ_eKZdLZcLZcMZbNZbNZaOY`PY`PY_QY_RYZRYZSXYTX\ XTXXUXWVXWVXVWWUXWUXWTYWT } 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================================== ;
