I see no apostles in the image, but ; in the lower half of the image I certainly do see quite a few of ; what can only be tongues of fire. These colorful flame-like ; tongues inspired the name "Tongues of Fire". ; ; The rating of a 5 seems fair enough for an image that was found ; so quickly. The scene is located in the same parent fractal ; that held yesterday's scene. It is located in a tiny island ; between the two branches of a split-apart Seahorse Valley. The ; effect of flaming tongues in the bottom half of the image was ; created by rendering the image with the outside set to 'real'. ; The debris filled sky was achieved by setting the inside to ; 'zmag'. ; ; The render time of almost 20 minutes is a bit slow. That time ; may be saved by downloading the completed GIF image from the ; FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Heavy fog blanketed the area around Old Fractal Central most all ; day Friday. The temperature of 50F 10C was mild enough, but the ; misty atmosphere kept the grass a bit too wet for pleasant out- ; side conditions. The fractal cats spent the day lounging on ; their window shelf. My day was spent finishing a bit of overdue ; work. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, cling ; to the old and embrace the new. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Tongues_of_Fire { ; time=0:19:50.23--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=ident passes=1 center-mag=+0.13603154551184620/+0.034108823633546\ 19/171838.5/1/-75/6.8191480240287e-011 maxiter=1000 params=1/1.414213562373/-1/1.4142/100000/0 float=y inside=zmag outside=real periodicity=10 colors=000lUJlZMkcPkhSkmVUkiDjxFkwHkwIlwKlwLmvNmvO\ nvQnvSouTouVpuWpuYqtZqt`rtartbpsbosbmsclsckscischs\ dfsdesddsdbsease`seZseYsfWsfVsnsmnsmmrmmrmlrmlqmkq\ nkpnjpnjpnionionhnnhnngnngmofmofloeloelodkodkocjoc\ jobkpcjocjodindindimehmehlfglfglfgkgfkgfjhejheihei\ idiidhjchjcgjcgkbfkbflaflaelaem`dl`dl_ck_cm_dk_Xj_\ ciZbiZahY_gXZfXYdWXbVWaVU_UTYTSXTRVSQTRORQNQQMOPLM\ OKLOIJNHHMGGMFELECKCBKB9JA7I96I8AH9DGAGFBJECMDDPDE\ SCFVBGYAH`9Ic9Jf8Ki7Ll6Mo5Nw5Ut5Rr5Op5Mn5Jl5Gj5Eh5\ Bf58d56b53`51b93dC5fF7hJ9iMBkPDmTEoWGpZIrbKteMvhOx\ oRwmQwkPwjPwhOwfOweNvcNvaMv`MvZLvXKvWKuUJuSJuRIuPI\ uNHxKGvLHuMHtNHsOHrPHqQHpRHoSHnTHmUHlVIkWIjXIiYIhZ\ IgZIf_Ie`IdaIcbIbcIadJ`eJ_fJZgJYhJXiJWjJVkJUlJTmJS\ mJQnLPnNOoPJqILpNNoRPnWRn_TmdVlhXpoWllWhjWehWafWYd\ WVbVR_VOYVKWVGUVDSV9QV6OVHRVRUVaXajYYkZjVKlWJmXIoY\ HqZGqYErZFr_Gr`HraIrbJrbK } 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========================================= ; ;
