But ; when I found it, I decided that it failed to meet FOTD ; standards. The scene lies in the Mandeloid fractal that results ; when Z^1.5 is subtracted from Z^(-0.2) and (1/C) is added. The ; image is not much in the way of fractal art, but it is one of ; the most unusual collections of Mandel things in one concentra- ; ted area that I have yet stumbled upon. ; ; Such a motley crew of Mandeloids is rarely seen. When I saw ; today's image, I could not resist the temptation to name it ; "Motley Mandeloids". I rated it at a 4. It's near total lack ; of artistic merit precludes anything higher. The render time of ; 46 minutes, at least on my tired old clunker, helps none at all, ; and actually holds the overall value, which can rate as high as ; 1000, to a meager 9. ; ; The favored way to see the image will almost certainly be to ; download it from the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The fractal cats were not very happy with Monday's weather here ; at Fractal Central. Though the flooding rain stayed just to the ; northeast, the frequent heavy showers during the day kept things ; thoroughly wet down. And the temperature of 84F 29C and oppres- ; sive humidity made things equally uncomfortable for humans. ; Today is starting cloudy and muggy. It could be a repeat. If I ; find time, the next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. If not, it ; could be 48 or 72 hours. Until whenever, take care, and watch ; to see what develops. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ Motley_Mandeloids { ; time=0:45:58.08--SF5 on a P200 reset=2003 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip passes=t center-mag=-0.6806213875813651/+0.1253195549246482\ /890.3401/1/-140/-7.37500338576779768e-013 params=1/-0.2/-1/1.5/0/0 float=y maxiter=15000 inside=0 logmap=54 periodicity=10 colors=000oQXpPbpPgqOlsMprNqqOqpOqoPqoPqnQqmQqlRqk\ RqkSqjSqiTrhTrgUrgUrfVreVrdWrcWrcXrbXraYr`Yr_Zs_Zs\ Z_sY_sX`sW`sWasVasUbsTbsScsScsTbqUboUbnValVajWaiWa\ gX`eX`dY`bY`aZ__Z_Y__X__V`ZT`ZSaZQb`1b`DaZP`T`ZNl_\ Ok_Pj_Qi`Rh`Rg`SfaTeaUdaVcbVbbWabX`cY_cZZcZZc_Yd`X\ daWdbVebUecTedSfeRffQffPggOghNgiMjhLhiMgiMfiMeiMdi\ McjMajN`jN_jNZjNYkNXkNVkOUkOTkOSlORlOQlOOlPNlPMmPL\ mPKmPJmPHmQGnQFnQEnQDnQBpQAqPCnQDlREjSFhTHfUIdVJbW\ K`WLZXNXYOVZPS_QQ`SOaTMbUKbVIcWGdYEeZCf_Ag`8hZ3jX5\ ma6hf7ck9_pAVuBQwBOyCMwFPuIRtLUrOWpRYoU`mXbk_djbgh\ eifhkekncnpessbqr`orZmqXkqUipSgpQeoOcoJZvMaoOdiQgc\ SjYUmSUpOWpMXpLZpK_pIapHbpGdpFepDgpChpBjp9kp8mp7mr\ 7nq6np6no6no5nn5nm5nl4nl4nk4nj3ni3ni3nh2ng2qe1of2n\ g2mg3lh3kh3ji4ii4hj5fk5ek5dl6cl6bm6am7`n7_n8Zo8Xp8\ Wp9Vq9UqATrASrARsBQsBOtBNuCMuCLvDKvDJwDIwEHxEFzCGz\ EHzFHzGIzHJzIJzKnzInzNozS } 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================================== ; ;
