For today's image I chose one of the most familiar ; Julia sets, the set associated with Seahorse Valley, and, fixing ; the real(p1) parameter at -0.75, I rolled out the evolver and ; started changing the other five. ; ; The unexpected variations that appeared on the screen seemed ; infinite. With so many interesting possibilities, which one ; should I choose? I started flipping a coin. The image that was ; fortunate enough to be the last to be eliminated appears, with ; its parameters rounded, as the FOTD for today. ; ; An image that was chosen by chance rather than discretion can ; hardly be expected to be a prize winner. Today's image ; therefore rates a 4, which is one point above the rating of ; yesterday's funny face. The minimal rating gets a boost from ; the render time, which at only 13-1/2 seconds, gives an overall ; worth of 1798 to the image. ; ; The download is available on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; A fine but slightly chilly day here at Fractal Central on ; Thursday made for rather contented cats. They wished the ; temperature had gone higher than 48F 9C, but did not complain ; until they came inside at sundown, when they shouted loudly for ; extra tuna. They got their wish. Today is starting partly ; cloudy, but rain is supposedly on the way. Hopefully, it will ; hold off until after the cats have had their outing. ; ; My day will be good enough if I finish the work before 3pm. ; Right now, it looks like I'll have no trouble. And then it's on ; to the FOTD. So until next time, take care, and watch for those ; lurking fractals. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Seahorse_Variation { ; time=0:00:13.35--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=quatjul center-mag=0.08224/0.03834\ 91/1.103753/1/-25/3.8857806e-016 params=-0.75/0.09\ /-0.01/-0.09/0.1/0.09 float=y maxiter=300 bailout=9 inside=255 outside=real logmap=9 periodicity=0 colors=000WWaWW`WW_WWZWWYVWYUWYTWXSWWRWVQWUPVTOUSN\ TQMSOORMQQLSPJUOHWNGZME`LCaKAaL9aM7aN5aP4aR7aU9aXC\ a_EdcGfgJikLknOnoQppSnqQmrPlsOktMjtLitKgtIftHesGds\ EcrEboIekMhgQkcUn_UqWUrSVrOVrKVrHVrJVrLVrNVrPVrRVr\ TVrVVrXVrYVq_ZqaapcdpegpgjtcPw`4naEebOYcX`XTbQPeJL\ gDIeGJdJKbMLaPM`SNZVOYXPW_QVbRUeSShTRkUQmUSkTTiTVh\ TWfTXeTZcS_aSa`SbZScYSeWRfURhTRiRRjQRSepQgnPhmNilM\ jkKljJmiIngGofFqeDrdCscBtbYvjtxrruqqrpoopnlolinkfn\ icmh`mfYleVkcSkbPj`Mi_JiYGhXEhVJeUNcSR`RVZPZXObUMf\ SLjQPlRSnSVpTZrUatVduWcrXcoXclXciXcfXccYc`YcYYbVYb\ SYbPZbMZbJZbGZbDZbAZWJbQSfK`jEin8rr2zu3yq4ym5yj6yf\ 6xc7x_8xX9xT9xQMkNYZLjMJvAHnDEfFCZI9RK7JN4BP2HTBMW\ JSZRXaZbdfggnljviktglrempcnn`olZpjXqhVrfTsdQtbOu`M\ vZKwXIwVLtXNqZQn`SkbUhcXeeZcg``icYkeVlgSnjPplMrnKs\ oMtpOuqRvrTwsWxtYyt_zoZykYygXybWyZVyVUxRTxMSxIRxEQ\ xAPx8So7Ug6X_4ZSb7Sa3TYAU } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
