I calculated the formula Z^(1.618)+C at a level ; 32 turns up the logarithmic ladder, and got a parent fractal ; that somewhat resembles a Mister Potato-Head. There's not much ; more to be said about the near-shapeless blob. But this blob ; has a good bit of debris scattered around its west side, and ; this debris holds midgets, one of which appears as the featured ; element in today's image. ; ; Once again, my limited time permitted only a short trip to ; Fractal Land, so I could not name or rate today's image. But I ; will say that it is a bit more interesting than the usual images ; found in the Mandeloids of an order between 1 and 2. ; ; The render time of a brief 2-2/3 minutes will try the patience ; of no one, and it makes the task of running the included ; parameter file almost a breeze. An even swifter way to see the ; image is to go to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and view it there. ; ; A cloudless sky and a temperature of 55F 13C made conditions ; near perfect here at Fractal Central on Thursday. The fractal ; cats must have agreed, for they somehow managed to get through ; the entire day without getting into trouble. With me, the rush ; is near its end, and more relaxing days are in sight. With more ; time to devote to them, the fractals will be improving in the ; near future. (This is assuming they are not already perfect.) ; ; Regardless of the perfection or lack thereof, the next FOTD will ; appear here in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and seek sub- ; limeness in your fractals. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= FOTD_for_Mar_30_07 { ; time=0:02:41.05--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC2 center-mag=-0.35953404841607610/-0.056778379676581\ 14/5.911021e+007/1/-65/1.55103769647335632e-007 params=1.618/0/32/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=106 periodicity=10 colors=000DT9GiDJdHN_LQVPTQSZUYcYciaineosiuqnv_X`R\ QRHKH8E7BJAENCHREJVGL`NNeTPk_RpeWma`kYdhUifQncMraJ\ aaZLamGRaBHQCMMDQJEUGFYDGb9Hf6Ij3In0OhAUcK_YUeTceV\ adW_dYYd_WdaTdbRddPdfNdgLf`FhV9iP4cO9YODSOHMOMGOQA\ OUG`YMmaRyeYvadsYjqUkoVlmWmlXnjYohZogZpe_qc`rbas`b\ tZctYcoOfjEif4leCfdJacRXbYSadN`eM_eLZfLYfKXgJWgJVh\ IUhHTiHSiGSiGRhKRgORgRRfVReZReaQb_P`ZOZXNXWMVULTTL\ QRKOQJMOIKNHILGGKGEJOBLW9Mb7Oj5Pr3Ry1SxBexKsrAasCc\ sEesFgtHitIktKmtLopJnlImhGleFkaDjYCjUAiR9hN7gJ6fG5\ fC5Z85S45K05D4AI8EMCJQFNVJSZNWbQ_fTYhWWiZUkaSldRmg\ PojNpmLrpJssItpMrnPplSnjVlhYkf`iddgbge`jdZmbXp`VsZ\ TvYRuVPtTOsRMrOKqMJqKHpIFoFEnDCmBBm9CjFChKDeQDcVDa\ _EZeEXjEVoRQgbM`nITzEMvGNsIOoKPlLQiNRePSbQT_SUWUVT\ WWQXXMZYJ`ZGa_H`aH_cIZdIZfJYhJXiKXkKWlKVnLVpLUqMTs\ MTuNSvNRxNRyTQqYQibQagPUlPMqPFkQIeQK_QMUQPOQRIQTCQ\ W6QY1Q_3O`5MaUgFNkBGo89s5 } 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|
