I have not yet ; decided to resume naming the FOTD fractals, so fractal fans will ; have to be make do with the date as a name. Their dis-satisfac- ; tion should not be too great. One picture is said to be worth a ; thousand words, which means that one evaporated fractal should ; be worth at least ten words. ; ; Today's fractal is indeed an evaporated one, which means that ; all the escaping 'outside' parts have vanished, leaving only ; trapped 'inside' stuff. But as today's image shows, trapped ; 'inside' stuff can be made quite interesting. ; ; Today's all-inside scene was brought to life by rendering it ; with the inside option set to 'bof61', by far the best inside ; option to use with evaporated fractals. ; ; The parent fractal was created by combining various portions of ; Z^(-1.5) and Z^(-11.5) before adding (1/C). ; ; The render time of just under 8 minutes is marginally slow, but ; the wait may be avoided by downloading the completed GIF image ; from the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Cloudy, warm and muggy weather, with a temperature of 84F 29C, ; accompanied by intermittent showers made conditions less than ; ideal for the big Independence Day fireworks displays here at ; New Fractal Central. The noise of the illegal firecrackers ; kept the fractal cats hiding under the bed for most of the day. ; They were reluctant to come out even when they heard the can of ; tuna open, but hunger eventually won out, and they cautiously ; reappeared to ask for their treats. ; ; But despite the minor annoyances, my day was enjoyably relax- ; ing. I actually found a couple hours with nothing to do but ; watch the shuttle launch on the NASA TV channel. Too bad I'll ; never have the chance to go into space, but neither will ; 99.99999..... percent of the other people on earth. ; ; Seeing so much energy expended for such a small result makes me ; glad that fractals consume almost no energy. The next FOTD will ; likely appear in 24 hours, until then, take care, and let's send ; fractals into space instead of people. Fractals weigh nothing; ; think of the energy It would save. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= FOTD_for_05-07-06 { ; time=0:07:53.18--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+2.94455032376392700/+0.986511361200300\ 10/2.119103e+008/1/52.5/0.000212990910537419476 params=2.5/-1.5/0.25/-11.5/0/1e+100 float=y maxiter=1000 inside=bof61 periodicity=10 colors=000HarBgv0007nv8nr9nnAnkCogDocEo_FoXIbcLRiO\ EoR2uNCtKMsGWrDeqAnpCjjDgeEd`G`VHYQIVLJSGOXJTaMYfO\ bjRgoTltWpxY0QsASnKTiUUdcV_mWWgaYafZXk_Rp`MuaPrXSo\ SVlNYiI000bd8`YD_SHZMLXGPWATV4XpxQqqSqjUqcVqXXqQYq\ J_qC`lBahBadAb`AbX9cT9cUGbVN`WU_X`YF2LJ9NMGPPNRSUT\ V`VZTmYVjYXhYZfY`dYbbYd`YfZiTPgWReYSc`TabV_eWVj_00\ 0WiZXhYXhYYgXYgXuKSiWVgfEegHdgKbgNagP_gSZgVF54PPJq\ OimSfiWce_aacZIjzKivMirOhnQhkShgUgcWg_6q3Bo8GmDKlI\ PjNUhS58q9DnDHkGMiKQfOVcG4GA2IE3RH9RJESMJTOOURUUTZ\ VWcWN586JN000hzZBg6FoBJoFNrKRgOVgTr3CkHJdVQ5EWKTXt\ M3nSBhXIbbQUzOzzRzzTXzVQA8PFCPJFUNIURLTWOT_RTcUl`X\ XG9YCoYSefandcjbdf`ecZf_p1Wh9XdGX`NXWUXS`Xzs0XmzXl\ zXxzYzzYhXzm0fcXddXceXamz`fXZgXF9RIESckfjfxYXgLNSM\ MSMMSNLSNLSNLSSMUXNVaOXePYjQ_oR`sSarUfqWkqXppZup_z\ lauicqfdlcfh`hcYi_d8A000`QMZZSIC7KGBKEZ61lLL__dNmx\ AljGlYMkLSk8YdEbZKfTQjNWn } 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========================================= ; ;
