I'll keep it as my fractal machine as long as it starts ; up. With only 16mb memory, it needs to do nothing but boot DOS ; and run Fractint. ; ; Today's image was created by the ParabolicMix3 formula, which is ; the formula I sometimes use to determine critical points of ; expressions with 3 and 4 different powers of Z. In addition to ; creating today's image, the formula indicated a critical point ; at 0.6447424469, and what I call a semi-critical point at -1. ; The first critical point has a most unusual Mandelbrot set ; associated with it. I will use this M-set as the source of the ; next FOTD. The semi-critical point determines a nice symmetri- ; cal mandel-type fractal pattern, but it finds no Mandeloid. ; ; Today's image reminds me of no less than an aching tooth, which ; is what I named it. It's not really enough of a fractal to be ; considered even of average FOTD worth, so I rated it at a humble ; 4. The image renders like lightning however, and is finished in ; 39 seconds -- almost before it starts. ; ; For non-renderers, the final GIF result is available on the FOTD ; web site at: ; ; ; ; Early morning rain on Sunday here at Fractal Central cleared out ; by noon, leading to a pleasant partly cloudy afternoon with a ; high temperature of 86F 30C. The fractal cats were satisfied, ; but would have preferred it to be a bit cooler. Today is ; starting foggy. If it doesn't rain, I expect another good day ; for the duo. For me, the work is moderate. The next FOTD will ; appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and wait for the ; best. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Aching_Tooth { ; time=0:00:39.87--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=ParabolicMix3 function=ident center-mag=0.349635/-1.52479/3.537497/1/-90/-9.090\ 2769208223262 params=0.5/1.5/0.5/-1.5/0.5/2/1/1/0/0 float=y maxiter=300 inside=0 logmap=yes periodicity=10 colors=000PXOPSRQLZRN`RPbTVfV`jXfnZlr`rvbwzVoyNhxF\ bw8ZvEWtJUsPSrURp_QodQneLgfHagDVh9Pi5Ii1CU28F24021\ YMpWLmVKkr8Qw6Pu5Ms4Kq4Ho3Fm2Dk2Ai18h16j99kHBlOEmW\ GncIojLprNqyPruMrrKroIrlFriDrfBrc9kf8dh8Yj8Sl8Pk9N\ j9LiAJhAHgBFgBIeGKcKMaOO_SQYWYR_dLckFgr9ky3nw9puFr\ tLtrRvqWwnSxlPxjMxhJxfGxdDxbAx`7xQGvGOt8Gs7Kq7No7R\ m7Uk6Xi6`g6ce6gc5ja5m_5qY5tW5wU4wS4wQ4wO2w13xM3xL3\ xJ2xH2xF2xE2xC1xA1x81x70x50x30x15xf4xc4x`4yY3yW3yT\ 3yQ2yO2yL2yI1yG1yD1yA0y80y50y2GybEyYCyUAzQ8zL7zH5z\ D3z81z4lzSizQgzPezOczNazL_zKYzJVzIUzHRzFPzENzDLzCJ\ zAHz9Ez8Cz7Az68z46z34z22z1YzGPzCHz88z4UzBzz8wz7tz7\ qz6nz6kz6hz5ez5cz5`z4Yz4Vz4Sz3Pz3Mz2Kz2Hz2Ez1Bz18z\ 15z02z09z77z55z43z21z1sz`kzpgzkczg_zcXz_TzWPzSMzOI\ zKEzGBzC7z83z4uztpzolzkgzfczbZzZVzUQzQMzLHzHDzD8z8\ 4z4GzuFzqEznDzkCzhBzdAza9zZ8zW8zT7zP6zM5zJ4zG3zC2z\ 91z6dzQ_zKVzEQz9PzDPzHPzK } frm:ParabolicMix3 {; Jim Muth z=imag(pixel)+flip(real(p5)), c=fn1(real(pixel))+flip(imag(p5)), a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=real(p3), h=imag(p3), j=real(p4), k=imag(p4): z=(a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f))+(g*(z^h))+(j*(z^k))+c, |z| <= 100 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
