Try to not be too disappointed, but this will be the ; last FOTD until I get the work backlog caught up. ; ; Today's somewhat over-colored image was generated by subtracting ; 0.8 part of Z^(1.5) from 0.8 part of Z^(-1.5), then adding ; (1/C). The parent fractal consists of a large distorted ; Mandeloid surrounded by an even larger area of chaos, with tiny ; Mandelbrot sets scattered through the chaos. Today's image lies ; in the chaos near but not inside the East Valley area of the ; large Mandeloid. ; ; The appearance of the scene, with its fish-net of filaments, is ; typical of fractals generated by negative powers of Z. I was ; ready to name the image "Fish-net", but then I decided that ; the fish-net effect was not obvious enough, and after a brief ; indecision, named it "Beside the Point", a name that has ; absolutely nothing to do with the appearance of the image. ; ; The rating of a 6 is held down by the coloring, which in my ; opinion is a bit too intense. The render time of 3-1/5 minutes ; however is well within reason, and may be eliminated entirely by ; downloading the already-rendered image from the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; A sunny, hot and humid day on Thursday was interrupted by a ; brief heavy shower in mid-afternoon. The cats could take the ; temperature of 90F 32C, but when the big raindrops started ; splashing on the ground, they dashed for the cover of the porch ; and asked to come in. They were surprisingly happy for the rest ; of the day. Today is starting sunny and a bit warmer. It might ; be too hot a day for the cats. ; ; Unfortunately, the work backlog has reached the point where it ; must be brought under control, which means I will be unable to ; post a FOTD for several days. I will still be reading the list ; however. The next FOTD will appear in 5 days or so, sometime ; around the middle of next week. Until then, take care, and seek ; the ultimate fractal which is the source of all else. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Beside_the_Point { ; time=0:03:12.40--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-2.23533141420156200/-1.432228950187527\ 00/11804.84/1/-82.5/-2.45500147988408912e-012 params=-0.8/1.5/0.8/-1.5/0/0 float=y maxiter=450 inside=0 logmap=48 periodicity=10 colors=0000M90OB0QD0SF0UH0WI7Y70_07aIHa_V_ojVuvDzz\ 7zz0zz3zzDzzMzzXgz_QzYkzOzzKzzImzDYz9IzSYzimzzzzzz\ zzzoz5ivBasHXqMOmSIiYBec5cg9YcBVaFQYHMXIHVMDQO9OQ5\ MaHVmKaoViQKQ730HB0QIHYQYgYqqezykzqmzimyaokXoYOoIH\ q59q03q0Dy0Mz0Xz0ez0Xy0Mg0DS03B500D00K0970c00_0BY1\ MV5_S7kOBvMDzKFzQKzXOzaSzYXkXYSS_9Qa0OcMMIqM0iDDc3\ OY0_S0kk0zi0zg0ze0zc0za0z_0zY0yX0vV0uS0sQ0qO0mM0kK\ 0iK0gI0eH0cF1_D3YB5X0KH97V77S59Q3BM1DK0FI0HH0IFezs\ azo_zmXziVygQueOqaKm_IkYFgVDcS9_O7XM3SK1OH0KFIHXzO\ ziMsKKYgszI_cccXzH0zI0yI0uI0sI0oI0mI0iI0gI0cI0aI0Y\ I0XI0SI0QI0MI0KI1HI3FI3BI59I75I93I90IB0IDzzFyzDuzD\ qzDmzDizDezDazDYzDVzDSzDOzDKzDHzDDzD9zD5zD1zD0zDKz\ 0Iz0Hz0Fz0Fz0Dz1Bz19z39z37z55z55z73z71z90z90zB0zB0\ zDzzquzmqzkkzggzeazaYz_SzXOzVIzQFzO9zK5zI0zF0z00z0\ 0z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z\ 00z00z10z10z30z30z50z70z7 } 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========================================= ; ;
