New fractal worlds ; are no big deal. They can be created at will. But the world ; introduced by today's image is rather unusual, as the next ; several FOTD's will illustrate. ; ; On the surface, the image appears to be a routine quadratic ; midget in the fractal that is created when 0.355 parts of Z^4 ; are added to Z^3 before C is added. And this is indeed what it ; is. But in its heart lies a deep secret, which I will reveal in ; stages over the days to come. ; ; For now, enjoy today's image, which is already good enough to ; rate an above-average 7. The overall value is brought down to ; 25.5 by the render time of 27 minutes, but this value can be ; increased by avoiding the rendering entirely, which can be done ; by downloading the finished image from Paul's web site at: ; ; ; ; With a high temperature of 37F 3C and brisk winds, Monday was ; far too harsh for the delicate paws of the fractal cats. They ; did manage an hour or so on the porch, but the clouds that kept ; obscuring the warm sun gave them no end of annoyance. Luckily, ; cats have short memories, and by the time they had finished ; their evening tuna, they had nearly forgotten their bad day. ; Today is sunny and warmer, and the wind has died. The duo is ; already thinking of going out. ; ; And I'm thinking of finishing the work that must be done so I ; can get to the fractals that are fun but not absolutely ; necessary to survival. Until the next wonderful image appears ; 24 hours from now, take care, and see you then. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ Another_New_World { ; time=0:27:25.89--SF5 on a P200 reset=2003 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=ident passes=1 center-mag=-0.52321930545120110/-0.002589589762561\ 87/2.048744e+010/1/-54.9998285074083242/4.87322811\ 3853878e-005 params=1/3/0.355/4/0/0 float=y maxiter=10000 inside=0 periodicity=10 colors=000z06u39m8EeDKYGPPLU9ozCozCozCozCozCozCozC\ ozEozEozEoxEouElrEipEgmHdjHagHZeHWbHT_HRY00z00z00x\ 00p03j9Dbz0zj0z0J00L00L04L09O9EOMz0zz0xz0xz0uz0uz0\ uz0rz0rz0pz0pz0pz0mz3mz3jz5ju8jr8gpBgmBegDeeDebGb_\ GbYJ_SJ_PL_MLYKOY0oE0gK4aPCTU0iz0gu0dr0am0Zj0Xg4Tb\ CR_1Lz4Oz4Oz4Oz4Oz4Oz6Oz6Oz6Oz6Oz6Oz9Oz9Oz9Oz9Oz9O\ zCOzCOxCOuCOrPJrPGpPGjSGeSDbSDYSBUUBPzoMzoPxoUroYm\ g_gZbbTgYLjSDmP8pKJjERe9Z_4iU0oP0oK0oH0oK0oK0oK0oM\ 0oM0oM0oM0oP0oP0oP0oS0oSPoEMo1CoE1oP0o_0dm0Rx0Dz00\ z03z03z03z05z05z05z08z08z08z0Bz0Bz0Bx0Du4LU0Du0Dr0\ Dr0Gp0Gm0Gm0Jj1Jg4Jg6Le9Le9LbCO_EO_HOYz00z00z00z00\ z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00x30u50r51m84j86gB9eD\ CbDE_GHUGKSJMPLPMLSKOUzo0zo0zo0zo0xo0uo0uo0ro0po0m\ o0jo0go0gl0ei1bg4_g6Yd9UaCUZESXKPXMMTPKRSHOU0op0om\ 0om0om0oj1oj1oj1og4og4og6oe6oe6oe9ob9sbCobCk_Cf_Ea\ _EXYHTYHRYz00zm0zg0zb0zX1 } 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================================== ;
