Today's ; fractal was created on a very busy day, therefore it might not ; be top quality, but it has its own flavor, and that flavor is ; vanilla. When I saw the image, I immediately thought of vanilla ; snowballs arranged in a spiral. The name "Vanilla Snowballs" ; came quite naturally. ; ; I did not bother to rate today's image, which was achieved ; almost without effort, but if I had rated it, the rating would ; have been sub-average. let's face it; the image needs more work. ; ; A good part of the image consists of inside stuff made visible ; by the 'bof61' inside fill. The parent fractal resembles the ; east half of a stretched Mandelbrot set. The scene of today's ; fractal is located near the edge of the material obscuring the ; northwest part of the parent M-set. ; ; The render time of 5-1/2 minutes is true on an ancient P133 ; machine, which is older than the fractal workhorse P200. The ; P200 is currently out of action for a few days with a dead power- ; supply exhaust fan. And best of all, the already-rendered GIF ; image is available for viewing on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The day began with a dusting of snow. The snow ended by 9am, ; but the clouds hung tough through the afternoon and the tempera- ; ture failed to reach freezing. The fractal cats were uncon- ; cerned with the outside conditions. They were more concerned ; that their evening treat be served up on schedule. ; ; My day was hectic, and it will continue this way most all week. ; The next FOTD will probably appear on schedule in 24 hours. If ; it fails to appear, you will know that I had no time to do it. ; Until the next appointed hour, take care, and be with it, what- ; ever 'it' might be. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Vanilla_Snowballs { ; time=0:05:30.08--SF5 on a P133 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=ident center-mag=-0.34020348602966540/+0.312292576282584\ 20/3.941274e+008/1/-120/-0.00010852792588955662 params=10/1/11/2.5/-0.9/0 float=y maxiter=1600 inside=bof61 periodicity=10 colors=000UYeUZdU_cU_bT`aTaaTb`Tb_ScZSdYSeXSeXPhTN\ kQLnNJqKHtHJrKLpNNnQPlTRjWTiZVgaXecZcf`aib`ldZofXr\ hVujTxkSzlWymZynaxodxpgwqkwrnvsqvttuuwuuzuqxsmvqit\ ofsnbqlZojVmhSlgOjeKhcHgbUW`fKZs8XiQN`fDSw4Ut8VqCX\ nGYkK_hN`eRabVc_ZdXbfUegRiiOmjLqkItmOunTvoZvpcwrix\ snxttyuyyruupqqnnmkjjigfgcbd__bXW`TSZQP_OR_NS_LT_K\ V_IW`HX`FZ`E_`C``Bba9ca8da6fa5ga4hxTytVwpXulZth`rd\ ap`coXemTglPhjLjhHlgDneAodUTQm7BjCFgGJeKMbOQ_SUYXX\ V``SddQhgNlkLpnNqjPrgRscTt`VuXXvUZwQ`xNbyJcyGbxIaw\ KavM`uN_tP_sRZrSYqUYpWXoYWnZWm`VlbVkcUgbTdaTa`SZ_S\ WZTQaTLdUGfUBiU6kU9lUCmUFmUInULoUNoUQpUTqUWqUZrU`r\ TZgTXYSVNSTDSR3WU4ZW4bZ4e`4ic4le4lb7l`AkYDkWGkTKkR\ NjOQjMTjJW9syCpwEnuHksJirLfp9bgC`fE_eHYdKXcMVbPUaR\ S`UQ_XPZZNYaMXdKWfJViHUkGU2PQ7ORCNSHMTMLURKVWJW`IX\ eHYdS8GlgJifMfePcdS`cVYbXVb_SabP`eM_hJZulttirsfprd\ nqalpZjoXinUgmRelPcWXfVXf } 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========================================= ; ;
