The actual location ; of the image is near the southern perimeter of its parent, a ; short distance inland, not too far from a larger midget. ; ; The image reminds me of something like a pot of boiling corn ; starch, which inspired the not-too-classy and not-totally- ; gramatically-correct name "Burbling Burbles". Then, when I saw ; what I had done, I rated the whole thing at a 6, giving myself ; a one-point benefit of the doubt. ; ; The relatively harmless image was rendered with the outside set ; to 'tdis'. I did not try 'evaporating' it to see what this ; would produce. But one thing certain is that the short render ; time of 2-1/2 minutes on my 10-year-old P200 machine results in ; an overall value of 234, which takes us right back to the ; original formula. ; ; For convenience, the completed image is available on the FOTD ; web site at: ; ; ; ; Conditions were near perfect here at Fractal Central on Friday. ; The cats thoroughly enjoyed the sunny skies, light winds, and ; temperature of 77F 25C. At one point a stray tomcat wandered ; into the yard. Tippy leaped to confront him, but after a few ; cat curse words, the other cat slinked off, and no blows were ; struck. The duo finished the afternoon peacefully. ; ; I have a bit of work to finish. Then I might tackle the fractal ; lawn, which has grown about 1/2 meter in the past week. When ; all this is finished, I will think of fractals. Until next ; FOTD, take care, and check out those ray-traced fractals. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ Burbling_Burbles { ; time=0:02:33.79--SF5 on a P200 reset=2003 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+0.26548995960996870/-2.241402520338516\ 00/3738561/1/-137.5/1.59966557868040926e-007 params=1/-2.34/0.54/-4.32/0/0 float=y maxiter=1200 inside=0 outside=tdis periodicity=10 colors=000VfRfz2fz5fz8fzBkr8pe6uT4yH2ZYF8nRIVPSBOc\ JTnRYyZbqYZjYVbYRWYNPYKQUIQRHRNFRKERHDRQKRZRRfYRod\ RwjMvhIufEueGlcHcbIWaJN`KE_L6ZYKajYdvjfsmgqogoqhms\ hjuihwifyjdzjernejpehuhezkdzmdzpczrdzpiwomumqrlspi\ tnftldrjaphZmfXkdUibSga_eRgaGlY6iV7cS8YP9SM9MJAGGB\ ADC4BC35C35M3TW3XeRcoXUTbY_hafnemtitymzqhwjdtc`qWX\ mPTjIPgKW`LbUMhNNoGOv9Pz2M_OJ8hLGcMOZNWUObQzj_xbZs\ VZnNZiFZd8ZCceIgbNj_TmXYpUcsRhvOmyLcxJVxHMxFDxD4xC\ 5pD6hE6`F7TG7LH8DI85JgO7bQCYRHTSLPUQKVUFWZBXbFZeI_\ hLakObnScqVetYfw`gzaYmaP`WUXQYTLaQFfM9jI4nFOlRgjbz\ hnsgfmg_fgT`fLUfEOf7KcIHaTE_bBYm8Ww9Xq9XlAYfAYaBZW\ BZRBZMIbKOfIUjG_nEfrClvArz8xz6vr9tfBrVEpJGo7Ie8RW9\ ZNAfDBn4Bv8OsC_qGloJxmUsccnUniKxdBuhFrkJpnNmqRjuVh\ xZezbczfiwMop2hlAahHVdOO`WHXbATi3PpAPiHPcOPYVPSaPM\ hPGoPAvP4rXLodalkqmzbhx`ct_ZqZVmXQjWLfVHcUVZHhV5bP\ CYJJDJvEKuFKtGLsHMrINqJNp } 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================================== ; ;
