The ; rating of a 4 is not a very impressive start, but it is better ; than no rating at all. In a few days, if all goes well, I will ; resume naming the images. ; ; I actually seem to have gotten a bit rusty during the several ; months we were occupied with moving Fractal Central. The images ; seem to be fighting me. No longer do they come almost automati- ; cally. But I am sure it will be only a short time before I am ; back in top fractal-finding form and writing philofractal discus- ; sions worthy of an avatar. ; ; Today is not that day however. The notably unimpressive image ; pictures a midget in the Z^(sqrt(2))+C Mandeloid as it appears ; 16 levels up the unending logarithmic ladder. If I had named ; the image, I would likely have named it "Splat". The overall ; impression is one of a paint-ball splatter. ; ; I used only the most basic rendering method. Any fancy stuff ; would have been wasted on an image with this degree of chaos. ; The 7-minute render time might seem slow to those whose time is ; important. If so, save time by downloading the finished GIF ; image from the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Typical summer weather prevailed again here at New Fractal Cen- ; tral on Monday, with partly cloudy, hazy skies, opressive ; humidity, and a temperature of 88F 31C. The new fractal cats ; were unconcerned with weather however, since they do not yet ; go out. They were more concerned with the occasional fire- ; cracker that went off in the neighborhood. When the going got ; too loud, Cassie ducked under the bed; Nico ran to the window ; to see what all the noise was about. ; ; The next FOTD fractal will appear right here in 24 hours. We ; will try to produce one that rates at least a 5. Until then, ; take care, and the best way I know to find enlightenment is to ; start a low-calorie diet. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= FOTD_for_04-07-06 { ; time=0:06:54.41--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC2 passes=1 periodicity=10 center-mag=-0.56705025697611/+0.08051017688019/7.9\ 29609e+008/1/-162.5/-5.889938137216e-008 logmap=168 params=1.4142/0/16/0 float=y maxiter=5000 inside=0 colors=000JU_sANhEPYHRNPT_V4OTIdTfVsGQjKLbOGVS6niK\ 1DH9JEGPpLrWMffgJZaMRXPJSSkvzUdjzC8mFEUIKWBcO5ZWSO\ mzDanI`cNZWSYRWQMYJKZUB6rmUkdK_ZOOTSqa8XUKkwx_jnOZ\ dLdYIZXFTWzfMZUR98cBGZGxnErgDfkkBAbEGUHLLKQf0YRCWz\ U0VE8PHGIKOEPIy3l`DcUF3PHALJHGLOzWemTb`R_OPX7U29SA\ AQHzZzdXRdobXg`Q`ZJUX8lQ9eSA_TBTU5RW8_nATduCyILuGM\ lENcDWHssbfm9R_KV9y2gT7XUrftc_kQTbQjwMdoJZhFTawezk\ `z_WjORbrk6uaVZUV3oE6gJ8`NAURReJN`MJWzFRS6yz8lzA_z\ 3_z6Wz8TzAQzOLzdBzXEzQHzJKzg6zSFzzeziZzTTaMwVHdVZK\ 7TLDNMJHNPWD_RGzMIzHLzM1zJ7zHCzEIzYazNUIqELrJQs_ct\ W`uZZvcXwgUxh8ymKzq4ztDzwMzz2zzOzzRzzTzzazzzzzjzzB\ zzGzzLzzQzzIzzNzzRzzozzdzzwzztzzgzzkzzbzzqzzKzzOzz\ Szz2zzCzzMzz7zzozzhzzazzVzzVzzdzzazz_zzXzzrzzlzzfz\ z`zzLzzPzzSzz6zzJzzTzzUzzUzzVzzuzznzzgzz`zzrzzlzzf\ zz`zzWzzVzzHzzOzz9zzKzz5zzCzzIzzPzz7zzJzzGzzKzzOzz\ SzzbzzHzzLzzOzzSzzozzizzd } frm:MandelbrotBC2 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100 p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*floor(p/(2*PI)) r=real(p2)-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
