For the present I will say ; only that it draws some very interesting variations of the ; familiar Julia sets. Today's image is one of the variations. ; ; It's a pale lavender image, a harmless peaceful thing, a varia- ; tion of a Julia set corresponding to a midget on a filament near ; the northwest shoreline of the main bay of the Mandelbrot set. ; I named the image "A Julia Structure", and why not? This is ; exactly what it is. ; ; I am certain that this formula holds far more interesting possi- ; bilities than I was able to find in the hour or so that I worked ; with it. The rating of an average 5 leaves much room for the ; greater things I feel will be coming from the formula. The ; render time of 24 minutes is a bit slow, and holds the overall ; worth of the image to a modest 21. Those who do not enjoy the ; hassle of rendering may find the completed GIF image posted on ; the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The sun was bright but the air was chilly here at Fractal ; Central on Friday. The fractal cats managed to squeeze in over ; an hour in the yard -- not as much time as they would have ; liked. As a result, an extra treat of tuna was needed to ease ; their disappointment. Today is starting about the same. More ; of the same is likely from the cats. ; ; For me the day will be slow. I'm actually starting to enjoy ; having the time to relax. Maybe I'll think of retiring and ; devoting my full time to finding that one elusive perfect ; fractal. But if I do, it will not be for quite some time yet. ; The next FOTD will appear here in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and know that magic is not all in the mind. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= A_Julia_Structure { ; time=0:24:03.61--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=phoenixcplx passes=1 center-mag=0/0/18.78152/1/-42.5/0 params=-0.53025/0.668142/-0.001096169927060762/0/0 float=y maxiter=45000 bailout=9 inside=255 logmap=-20 symmetry=none periodicity=10 colors=000g`me_kcZiaYg_XeYWcWVaUU_STYQSWORUMQSGLQB\ GO5BM06MCFIPPGZXBhc6rj2oeEk_PgU_cX``_`YaaUdaRfbOib\ KlbHncEqcAsd7vd4xd7ub9r`Cp_EmYGjXJhVLeUNbSQ`QSYPUV\ NXTMZQK`OJbNOcMSdLXeK`gIciHeeIcbJaZK_WLYSMWPNULOSI\ PQFQOLJURC_W5dPCVJJMDQD7W4zvWur_pnbkjfffiabmXZpSVt\ ORwTQrXQmaQheQdiQ_nQVrQQvQMwTNwWOwZPx`QxcQxfRyhSyk\ TynUypUuoTroTnnTknTgmTdmT`mTYlTUlTRkTNkTKkTLiSMgSM\ eRNcRNaQO_QOYQPWPQUPQSORQORONSMNSKNXPPaURfYTkbVpgX\ tkYWSf5klUgeXj_xOfuMgsLhpKhnJilHiiGjgFjdEkbCk`BlYA\ lW9mU8mLE_CKM4P9ANEFLIKKMPIQUHUZFZcEbhCfmBjr9nw8rx\ GixN`xUTwWVwYXvZZv``ubauccteetfgshhsjjrklrmnrnomkk\ ihheee`baX_ZTXWPVTOSVNQXNOYMM_LKaLIbKGdKEeRKeYPedV\ ek_ehYbfX`dVYbUW_STYRRWPOUOMSNKTTNUZQVcTWiWXnZWj`V\ gaVccU`dUYeTUgTRhSNjSKkRHlRDnQAoQ7pP3rO0swjQsZYerg\ cseatcbqeIcfJegKghLijMkkNmlOomPqjQsdRuZSwTTxOUuNSs\ NPpMNnMLkM6_X6YW6WV6UUhhu } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
