The parent fractal that has been the source of the two ; most recent FOTD images is the source of today's image also. ; But instead of being located in the vicinity of the two large ; Mandeloids, today's image is located in a smaller area of chaos ; on a filament some distance south of them. The theme of ; filaments strung with areas of chaos prevails throughout the ; parent fractal, particularly so in the area where today's image ; is found. ; ; The decorated filaments make fine images when rendered in the ; traditional manner, but for today's image I wanted something ; different. I tried various outside rendering options, some of ; which worked fairly well, some of which were total failures. ; Then I evaporated the image by raising its escape radius to ; one-googol, and rendered the resulting blank screen of totally ; inside points with the 'bof61' option. The result was spectac- ; ular indeed. ; ; A little bit of color tweaking produced today's image, which, at ; least in my opinion, is the best in quite a while. I named it ; "Shark Teeth". The image does rather resemble strings of shark ; teeth, with a lovely pink flower at the center. The rating of 9 ; and the render time of 7 minutes combine for an overall value of ; 124. ; ; As always, the minor task of rendering the image from the ; included parameter file may be avoided by downloading the ; finished image from the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; A Wednesday morning snow shower here at Fractal Central failed ; to whiten the ground, but was enough to keep the fractal cats ; confined to the indoors for the day. The temperature reached a ; high of 45F 7C, which changed the snow to rain before it ended. ; Today is starting much improved. The cats will be happy. ; ; As is usually the case with me, I have official business to put ; behind me before settling down to search for the next fractal. ; The chance that my search will be successful is 100 percent. So ; until 24 hours from now, take care, and some but not all frac- ; tals deserve rave reviews. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ Shark_Teeth { ; time=0:07:13.63--SF5 on a P200 reset=2003 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-9.50479709963300900/-4.541802019973394\ 00/5.042148e+008/1/2.5/-0.0059717742853601305 params=0.55/-1.1/0.11/-3.1/0/1e+100 float=y maxiter=1000 inside=bof61 periodicity=10 colors=0000_73WD9SJFPPLLS9Ph0Sz0Wz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Sv1\ Sr3Sn5Sm7Qh9QeBQaDQYFPUHPQJPNLPLFWS9aY3hc0nh0tn0np\ 3hr7ctB_vFUxJPzPLzSFzW9z_5zc0zf0zj0zc0zW0zQ0zJ0zB0\ z50z70z90v90rB0nD0jD3fF9cHDaHHYJNULQQLUNN_JPcFPfDJ\ hBDj97m71n50p3j1Fh5Fh7Fh9FhBFfDFfFFfJFfLFeNFePFeQF\ eSFaQHYPHWNHSLHQJHNHJLFJHDJDBJB9J77L55L13L01L00L00\ N00N00N00N00N00P00P00P00P00L00P00Q00U00W00Y00a00c0\ 0f00h00j00n00p00t00v00x10v90tH5rPDrWLpaUnhamphmxpj\ zxhzzhzzhzzzzxzzvzzrzznzzmzzhwzerzcmz_hzWhyUhwQhvN\ huLhtHhsDhrBhq7hp3ho1hn0hm0hzFhzKfzPezUczZazc_zcYx\ cYvcWvcUtcSrcQpcPpZNnUNmPLjKJjFHhAFf0De0Be05e0BS3H\ HHN3SQ0eW0pa0re0tf0mf0ef0_f0Sf0Lh0Dh07h00h00h00r00\ h00a00U00P00L00H00D03F05H09J0BL0FN0HN0LP1NQ7QSDSUJ\ WWNYWPWYPW_QW_QWaSUcSUcUUeUUeWSfWShWShYSjYSj_Qm_Qn\ aQnaQpcPrcPrePtePtePvfNxfNxhNzhNzjLzjLzmLzmLzpHzmL\ zjPzhSzeWzc_zacz0a00a10_5 } 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================================== ;
