To start things off, the main ; computer went dead, then just when I thought the work rush had ; ended, a new rush job came in. Luckily, the backup machine runs ; fine and job is small enough to be finished by noon Thursday, ; but all this once again put a damper on my fractal ambitions. ; ; Today's super-fast image is not a scene in a parent fractal, it ; is the parent fractal itself. And it is one of the most unusual ; fractals I have yet seen. I spent several minutes trying to ; decide what kind of rating to give it before I gave up in frus- ; tration and rated it a question mark. The name I gave it -- ; "Ultimate Parent" is an accurate description. ; ; The generating formula mixes 5 negative parts of Z^(-1.2) with ; 3/4 of one negative part of Z^(-4.5) and adds (1/C). The calcu- ; lation time is a speedy 1-1/2 minutes on my oldest machine. For ; even greater convenience, the completed GIF image is posted on ; the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Today's image is not the last we shall see of this parent ; fractal. It is simply chock full of interesting midgets, some ; of which will appear as FOTD fractals over the next several ; days. ; ; Clouds and a chilly rain made Wednesday quite unpleasant here ; at Fractal Central. The temperature of 48F 9C brought out the ; winter coats, and also brought the cats to the heat. My day ; was once again busier than I would have liked, but have faith, ; the end of the rush is near. The next FOTD will appear in 24 ; hours. Until then, take care of where you wander in the land ; of fractals. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Ultimate_Parent { ; time=0:01:32.50--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=30.8076/31.159/0.01122345/1/-90/3.8e-016 params=-5/-1.2/-0.75/-4.5/0/0 float=y maxiter=1400 inside=0 periodicity=10 colors=000WAUVSmUSmT0USAURSmQSmP0UOAUNSmMSmL0UKAUJ\ SmISmH0UGAUFSmESmD0UCAUBSmUSmA0UZTgJTgfTa`UWmUQrUK\ zUEyXFy_FxbGxeGwhGwkHvnHvpHpaRkN_dYOYgCSq1Rp2Ro3Rn\ 4Qm5Ql5Qk6Pj7Pi8Pi84orClqJjpRhoYfnddmlbls`kzZjjakW\ clGem1gm6fiAffEfcJf`NeXReUVeR_eOceLgdHldEpdBtd8xd5\ uc8rcBobElbHibKfaNdaQa`TZ`WW`ZT_aQ_dO_gQYfSWfUUfWS\ fYQe_OeaMecKeeIdgGdiEdkDdjGejIejLeiNeiPeiSeiUehXfh\ Zfh`fhcfgefghfgjfglfdkdajbZi`XhZUgXRfVOeTMeSKcVJbX\ I`_H_aGZdFXfEWiDVkCTnBSpARs9Pu8Ox7Nz8Pu8Qp8Rl8Sg9T\ c9UZ9VU9WQAXLAYHAZCA_8CZCDZFEYIFYLHXOIXRJWUKWXT_Qa\ bJieDnnXloOjpEhp5TmBEkGHhFJfFLdFOaEQ_ESYEUWEXXFZYG\ aZGc_He`IhaIjbJlcJifCgh6jiAmjEojIhlNbnSXpXRraLtfFv\ k9xpCriEmbGgWIbPKXIMSBNRAOR9PQ8QQ7RR8SS8TS8UT8VU9V\ U9WV9XW9YWAZXAZYAXs2_YA`ZAa_Bb_Bb`BcaBdaCebCfcCfcC\ gdDheDieDjfDWGtXHrXIqYJoYKnZLlZMk_Nj_Nh`Og`PeaQdaR\ bbSabT`cUZcUYdVWdWVeXUeYS } 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========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
