I did rate it at a 6 however, ; which is not too bad for such a quick image. The rating was ; earned by a bit of extra attention I gave to the coloring. ; ; Toward the upper right corner of yesterday's 'Ultimate Parent' ; fractal there is a small dot. When enlarged, this dot becomes ; an entire satellite fractal universe. Today's image lies within ; this tiny dot. ; ; The render time of under 3-1/2 minutes is well within reason. ; I rendered the image with the passes set to 't'. The passes=g ; option does the job in under 2 minutes, but it misses much of ; the fine detail filling the open areas. The passes=1 option ; catches a few more inside dots than the passes=t, but takes well ; over 5 minutes to finish. ; ; All this 'passes=' stuff may be ignored however by going to the ; FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and viewing the image there. ; ; A cloudy and unseasonably cold day with temperatures around 34F ; +1C here at Fractal Central on Thursday did not disturb the ; dynamic duo of fractal cats. They did take notice when a few ; rather heavy snow squalls passed over, but soon returned to ; their places by the heat. They fully enjoyed their evening ; treat of tuna and sharp cheddar. ; ; My day was once again busy. The main computer is in the shop ; for a few days with a nervous breakdown, and the back-up compu- ; ter, which is notably slower than the sick computer, is not ; quite up to the task of taking over. (The repairman suspects ; something has become disconnected.) I keep hoping to get caught ; up, but something always seems to come up to slow things down. ; One of these days I'll actually have no work waiting to be done, ; but it will not be today or tomorrow. ; ; One thing that will be finished before tomorrow however is the ; next FOTD. So be sure to check in then to see what the numbers ; hath wrought. Until that moment of glory, take care, and don't ; lose your way in the fractal wilderness. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= FOTD_for_Apr_06_07 { ; time=0:03:24.59--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip passes=t center-mag=-19.025348370831/+138.878186938705/1009\ 148/1/133.5/-4.5e-005 params=-5/-1.2/-0.75/-4.5/0/0 float=y maxiter=1000 inside=0 periodicity=10 colors=000p`ZqVarPdsKftEiu8lu3nr5op7pn9qkAqiCrgEse\ GtbHt`JuZLvXNwUOwSQxQSyOTyLXvI_sFbpDenAik7lh4oe2rc\ 3sa4s_5sZ6sX7sW8sU9tTAtRBtQCtODtNEtLFtKJuLMuLPuLSv\ LVvLYvL`wLcwLfwLixLlxLoxLryLuyLxyLnwRevXWubNshDrn4\ qsAnnGkjMieSfaYcXcaTiZOnXKlYOjZRi_Ug`XTczdbcTczagz\ VdzZizXfyWjzZhxbkzfjwjlxnmwpkutnwrjsumtrhroipqgmee\ kldic`ffaeQXb___ISYUXWAOTMVR2KP4PL5TI7XF8`CJVDUPEd\ JFoDGH`HGbIFcJzdKzfLzgMzhNziOzzPzzQzzRzzSzpTzqU3rV\ 7nUBkUFhTJdTNaSRZSVWSZSRbPRfMQjIQnFPrCPu9PoDRjGSeK\ U`NVWQWRUYMXZH``Cca7fbAbdC_eEWfHTgJPiLMjOIkQFlSCmT\ FgUIaVKWWNRXQLYSFZV9ZX4_Z7__9_`B_aD_cF_dI_eK_fM_hO\ _iQ_jT_kV_mX_nZ_o`_pbaehcVneLsfNpgOmgPjhRgiSeiTbjU\ _kWXkXUlYSmZPm`MnaJobGocEeYGWSIMMJCGL2BM5EN7HNAKNC\ NOFQOHTOKWPMZPO`PNcUNfZNicNlhNomNrrNtwPrvRqvTpuUnu\ WmtYlt_ks`isbhrdgrffqgdqicpkbplapi`lg`ie`fc`ca____\ XX_UV_RTZNRZKPZHNZEnkUoeX } 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
