Instead of positive portions, we now have negative ; portions. This change creates an even more interesting fractal. ; ; Yesterday's image turned out so well that I tried the same ; partial-evaporation trick again today. I rendered the scene ; with the inside set to 'bof61' and the outside set to 'tdis'. ; The resulting image rates another 9. ; ; I found today's scene in a part of the parent fractal shaped ; like a fan. There are many more unusual features in this new ; parent fractal, which I will be exploring for a few more days ; before moving on to something entirely new. ; ; Much of the purpose of fractals is simply amusement. This is ; the reason I named today's image "Iterative Amusement". The ; relatively fast render time of 3-1/2 minutes makes the image ; that much more amusing. The image may be seen in even less ; time by downloading it from the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; It rained all day Monday here at Fractal Central, keeping the ; fractal cats safely confined to their indoor shelf by the win- ; dow. They had one thrilling moment when a squirrel carelessly ; climbed onto the ledge outside the glass, and they both sprang ; to the attack. When the squirrel saw two cats eyeing him, he ; took off like a bat out of you-know-where. Today is starting ; cloudy, but it is milder, and promises to be far more pleasant, ; both for the squirrel and the dynamic duo. ; ; For me, it will be a satisfactory day if I end it with no work ; piled up. The philosophy is still a couple days off, but the ; next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and ; think kindly of your amusing fractals. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= IterativeAmusement { ; time=0:03:25.05--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+2.00805949912494/+1.2384635446208/1621\ 5.65/1/165/2.53985141251966695e-009 maxiter=1000 float=y params=-5/-1.26/-0.5/-12.6/0/1000000000 inside=bof61 outside=tdis periodicity=10 colors=000t4gr5fp5dn6cl7aj8`i8Zg9XeAWcBUaBT_CRYDQW\ EOVENTKXRQeQVnPUkPTiOTfOSdORbNR_NQYNPWMPTMORMOPLMN\ KKLJIJIHIHFGGDEGCDFABE89D78C56B34B23C54D74E94GC4GE\ 4IG4KI4NL4PN4RP4TR4WU4YW4_Y4`_4bb4cd4df4dh42Gx3Iv4\ Jt5Ks6Lq6Mp7Nn8Ol9Pk9QiARhBSfCUdDVcDWaEX`FYZGZXG_W\ H`UIaTJbRJcQNaUQ`YT_aXZe_XhbWlfVpiUtlTwkUxjVxiWxhX\ xgYxfYxeZxd_xc`xbaxabx`bx_cxZdxYexXfxWgxVgxUhxTixS\ jxRkxQlxQlxThwWdwZ`waYwdUwfQviMvlJvoFvrBvt8vsBtrEs\ qHrpKqpNpoQonTnmWmlZll`kkcjjfiiihhlghofgrefudexcez\ bcxaawa`uaZtaYr`Wq`Vo`Tn`Rl_Qk_Oi_Nh_LfZKeZIcZHbZI\ aYJaXKaWLaVMaUN`TO`SP`RQ`QR`PS`OT_NU_MV_LW_KX_JYZI\ ZZH_ZG`ZFaZEbZE__HY`KWaNTbQRcTPkzNlwKlyImzGmzEnxBn\ w9nv7mu5lt8krAjqDioFhnHglKfkMeiPdhRcfTbeWacY`b__a`\ ZZ`YX`YV`_T``Q`bO`cM`eK`gH`hF`jD`kB`m8`n6`p4`q2dp5\ go8joBnnDqnGtmJwmLukMtjMsiMrhMpgMofNneNmdNkcNjbNi`\ Oh_OfZOeYOdXOr2hu2jx2kv3i } 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========================================= ; ;
