It resembles a twisted ; Mandelbrot set, and lies some distance off the opening screen. ; ; Some of the filaments extending from the buds of this remote set ; terminate in large open holes rather than simply dying out. ; Today's scene is located at the tip of a tiny filament extending ; from the large hole at the end of the filament that extends from ; the large period-3 south bud of the twisted M-set. ; ; As the image stands, it is a rather striking fractal display. ; But most of the excitement is generated by the strong coloring ; with its intense contrasts. Try a different color palette to ; see the importance of the colors in creating the overall effect. ; ; The render time of 2-1/4 minutes is quite speedy as fractals go. ; It should try the patience of no one. Those who do not render ; may see the image by going to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and viewing it there. ; ; The cloudy, chilly weather continued unchanged here at Fractal ; Central on Monday. The temperature of 41F 5C meant nothing to ; the fractal cats, who enjoyed an indoor temperature of 68F 20C. ; They spent a good part of the day sitting on a table by the ; living room window, watching the traffic pass by. We have not ; yet decided whether to eventually let them out, but so far they ; seem perfectly happy simply looking through the window at the ; forbidden wonderland beyond. ; ; My day was acceptable. The work is caught up and the fractals ; are inexhaustible. My injured ankle is progressing slowly but ; surely. It will be some time yet before it is as good as new ; however. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, ; take care, and do something you've never done before. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Holy_Egghead { ; time=0:02:13.96--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=ident center-mag=-8.94276148034105300/+0.089077658618113\ 36/6.146815e+010/1/-107.5/0.00209854603818848684 params=1/10/10/0.1/0/0 float=y maxiter=500 inside=0 logmap=86 periodicity=10 colors=000HFFHKLHPPHUVHZZHcdHfeKgdLe`MbYO_URXPSUMU\ RIPOFFKAAF7500zzzzzmzwczpUziPzcSzXXzP`zKczAYs2Ur0X\ l0Ph0Kd0E`07X11U00S10S50SC4SH9RMFRRKxzOzx5zkS0Lr0P\ l2Ug5Ya0XZ9aYIeYRiY`oYhsYpwYxzYsxXovXisVerVaoVXlUS\ iUOhUUlSYpSXpUatSexSizSnzRrzRzzEvzRdzaMzn0zz2zxCzx\ KxwSsw`nvgivodtsZrv`twavxcwzdxzezz`zzgzslwirs`xoRz\ kEzgHzgKzgLzgOvgRrgVszSngVcIPhKLnLFsMAxO5zO2zR1zU0\ xX0wZ0va0td0sg0si0rg0rd0ra0r`0pY0pV0pS0pR0kS2gU9aV\ EYXIUYOOZSK`XFa`IgdLkhOplRtpUztXzxZzvVrtRarMLpK4hP\ 9`VCU`FLeICkL4pOAg7HY0gC7z0Mx0Hr5AkE5dL0YS0cX1gZ5k\ aAodHsgLwiPzlUV05Z0Ea0Ke2Ph5VlA`oEerHkrHksFisFitFh\ tFhvHgvHgvHevHewIewIdwIdwIdxKcxKcxKaxKaxLazL`zL`zL\ `zMZzMZzMYzMYzOYzOXzOXzOXzPVzPVzPUzPUzRUzRSzRSzRSz\ RRzSRzSRzSPzSPzUOzUOzUOzUMzVMzVPzVSzVYzXdzXkzXrzXx\ zYzzYzzYzzYzzZzzZzzZzzZzz`zz`zz`zz`zz`zzazzazzazza\ zzczzczzczzczzdzzdzzdzzdz } 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========================================= ; ;
