It's an old tongue- ; twister that I learned back in the middle of the last century. ; The first four words, "She Sells Sea Shells", is the name of ; today's fractal, which reminds me of a pile of colorful sea ; shells washed up on some remote beach. ; ; The image, which is a 50-50 mixture of inside and outside stuff, ; was created by combining generous portions of Z^(-0.2) and ; Z^(-5.5) then adding (1/C). To create some extra excitement, ; the inside was set to 'fmod' with a proximity of 5, while the ; outside was set to 'tdis'. ; ; The parent fractal appears as a circular hole with some unim- ; pressive features scattered inside it. Only a small area shows ; potential, and it is this area that I chose to investigate. ; ; IMO, today's image rates a 6. A recent note on the list sugges- ; ted that I might rate the FOTD's according to more than simply ; how much effort I put into the coloring. I am considering an ; expanded rating system which will break the rating into two ; parts -- a fractal part and an artistic part. We'll see what I ; eventually decide to do. ; ; Today's image takes 4-3/4 minutes to come to life on my old and ; impossibly-outdated fractal-dedicated machine. Newer machines ; will bring it into existence in only a fraction of that time. ; Of course, the completed image has been posted as always to the ; FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; There wasn't much sun here at Fractal Central on Tuesday, but ; the temperature reached a high of 70F 21C, which kept the frac- ; tal cats quite happy. They spent a long uneventful afternoon ; lurking in the holly patch, watching for unwanted tomcats. But ; today is starting cloudy with rain in the area. I doubt that ; the good day will be repeated. The next FOTD will be posted in ; 24 hours, give or take an hour or two. Until then, take care, ; and what's it all about? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= SheSellsSeaShells { ; time=0:04:43.58--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-0.07359315904045856/+0.004686271523444\ 79/2.673082e+007/1/-90/3.88578058618804789e-016 params=20/-0.2/16/-5.5/0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=fmod proximity=5 outside=tdis periodicity=10 colors=000K7LJ7PH7TG7X_ZAaY8cW7dU6fS5hQ3jO2lM1mL0l\ N2lO3kP5kQ6kS8jT9jUBjVCiXEiYFhZHh_IhaKgbLgcNgdOifP\ jhPljQmlRopQnmRmjRlgSkdSkbSj_TiXThUTgRUgPUfMUeJVdG\ VXDkdEVg2HkEEoQCr`Avl8yw6wsAvoEukIshMrdPq`ToYXnU`m\ QdlNghPeeQcbRaZS_WUZTVXPWVMXT1VZJYSe`O__MVZLQZKLYI\ GXHAYFBXGCXGDXHEXHFWHGWIHWIHWIIVJJVJKVKLVKMUKNULOU\ LN`GOULQLQPOPPROPUNOXMO_LOaKOdJNgINjHNmGNoGWpXdpla\ miZjgWheTecQbaN`_LYYIVWFTUCQS9NQ6LO3IM1GK7IICJHHKF\ MLERMDWNB`OAeP9jQ7oR6sY0tS5uMAvGFx7KwBKvFKvJKuNKtR\ KtUKsYKraKreKqiKpmKryLppKogKm_KlRKjIKj3LiAKhGKgNJf\ TJe_IdeIdkIbfNaaS`XXZSaYNfXIkVBsWDoWFlXHhXJeXLbYNZ\ YPWROYYQTgTKdSObSS_SWYS_VScTSgQSkOSoMSsIhfFyVIwUKu\ TMsSPqRRoQTmPWkOYiN`iN_hMZhLYgLXgKWfKVfJVeJUeITdIS\ dHRcHQcGQcGOdLMePPgVLeTHdSDbR8`PAaQCbREcSGdTIeTKfU\ LgVNhWPiWRjXTkYVlZWlZHITIHSIGRIFQIFQJEPJDOJDNJCNKB\ MKBLKAKK9KL9JL8IL7HN8CL7H } 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========================================= ; ;
