This M-set is fairly normal looking except ; that it has a large extra bay where East Valley should be, and ; it has a main stem that has split into two. Today's scene is ; located in one of the valleys that sets off the extra bay. ; ; The generating formula subtracts 0.8 part of Z^(2.5) from 1.2 ; parts of Z^(1.5) and adds straight C. The name I gave the ; image, "All or Nothing", has little if anything to do with the ; actual appearance of the image itself. It is what came to mind ; when I emptied my head of all spurious thoughts and entered the ; great void, which is my usual mental state anyway. ; ; Wanting to rate the image but undecided on what rating to give, ; I settled on a perfectly average rating of a 5. The calculation ; time of about 4-1/2 minutes is right in the ball park for such ; an image. And as always, the finished image is available for ; free viewing on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The big holiday started with clouds and ended with a cold rain ; here at Fractal Central. I also noticed a few wet snowflakes ; mixed in, but they amounted to nothing. Meanwhile, the fractal ; cats busied themselves scattering bows and ribbons, and tearing ; up the wrapping paper from the opened presents. There was no ; normal work today, and all else was well. The next FOTD will ; appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and eat hearty but ; not too hearty. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= All_or_Nothing { ; time=0:04:24.14--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=ident center-mag=+0.11950826048827320/-0.118240553095753\ 50/2.899373e+010/1/-105/-0.000837373683968807569 params=1.2/1.5/-0.8/2.5/0/0 float=y maxiter=1200 inside=0 logmap=122 periodicity=10 colors=000`XGdYKhZOl_Sq`XuaaybeifYUiRahOigLpgJkcNf\ `QbYUYVXUS_WUZXVYYWXZXX`ZWa_Vb`UcaUecTfdSgeRhfRjhQ\ kiPljOmkOXYLGLJ08H5BK9EMDGPHJRLLUQOWUQZYT`aVceYej_\ hnbjrdmvfozhqzjtjKIkPJlRKmSKnULnWMoYNpZNq`OrbPrdQs\ eQtgRuiSvkTvlTnmPgmM`mITnFMnBFn88n5BjLDg`ZXRS__Lbg\ 35f6Ei9NkCWmI9ZHKdGVjxc_adg_t7PePERe4CvIAkW9`i8Qv7\ GtQNsgUry_IYjdreSkj1rM5nU8k`Cgh0gC8eW_uHToTMidsTfZ\ ZkdXYZr`UndPkhKgl_xoPnoW33NMSL57opFf4a_EeTNhMWl91U\ qG1YTRCq2DmFEjRFgcuCnfMoTWovRSgW_T`gfbfTckJ`YHbcGc\ iOq0dT0qyik_kVbmJUwHYtGaqXldSjgOhjJfmsi2BW7DZMEa`i\ nXD0DdJTYPZSUdL_jviL`f`WH_RNcNTgJZk_yfCSoDXoE`o5UC\ ALoDVo`DBVKMQRWKYegegYdjOdmIMZGWghqhUjlFEiG`MFb`_b\ 7TcMMd`_YGPvCLpQIjbpI_cQeRYjKfMTE0dz8YtJSoULid6j_5\ LN8QVAVaD_hEMoFToFZoCGfDPiEXlL8pSHmLTnkDm`NnQWol1P\ WLbEI4wMbkRf`WiQ`loT9eWKXZVOaeS_CNaQJcbpzyYotwz8zP\ 3YNASQ9SahSNZLWg`rL_rJ_sG } 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========================================= ; ;
