You get the parent ; fractal of today's image -- a huge fractal shaped roughly like a ; letter X. Then raise the escape radius to 8.33e+017 and what ; happens? The fractal starts to evaporate. Today's scene is ; located right at the edge of the evaporating outside stuff. ; ; Today's image would normally be a very fast one, rendering in ; about 2 minutes. But for some reason, the 'zmag' inside fill, ; which makes the picture, slows the calculation to 23 minutes, ; with the passes=t option. The passes=g option is not quite as ; slow, but it misses too much of the finer detail. ; ; I named the image "Four-Leaf Shamrock". Well, that's what it ; reminds me of. Then I rated it at a lofty 8. In my opinion, ; it's one of the more unusual FOTD images, well worth its rating. ; ; The slow calculation time may be avoided by viewing the finished ; image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Partly cloudy skies and a warmer temperature of 57F 14C made ; things far more pleasant here at Fractal Central on Thursday. ; The fractal cats, who appear to be totally unaware of their ; 'fractal' nature, spent several hours on their shelf in the ; sunniest window. I spent even more hours at the computer, ; trying to bring things back under control. By the end of the ; day, I had success in sight. The next in the series of FOTD's ; will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and make a ; quantum leap to somewhere spectacular. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Four-Leaf_Shamrock { ; time=0:23:03.47--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=t center-mag=-25.29974773215104000/+0.42617313408043\ 040/1310/1/-22.5/-2.85858038628905575e-009 params=-5/-1.1/0.5/-6.6/0/8.33e+017/0/0 float=y maxiter=1000 inside=zmag periodicity=10 colors=000uzIptJopKnlLmhLldMk`NjXNiTOhPPhLPZGWQCbG\ 7i73oE9mKFkQLiWRgaXegbcmhasn`olbkkdhjedigahiYgjVfl\ RenOdowg6vd7vb8v`8vY9vWAuTBuRBuPCuMDtKEtIEtFFtDGtB\ GnDFiFFcGFZIFTKFOLFINFDPF8QFANECKDDHDFECGCCFBBFBBF\ BBFABEABEABE9BE9AE9AD8AD8AD8AD8AC7AC7AC79C69C69B09\ B59B59B59B59E68H78K87N97QA6TB6WC5ZD5aE4dF4gG3iG3gI\ 7fKAdMDcOGaQK`SNZUQYWTWYXV__TabSceQeiPglNioMkrLmuN\ lsPkqQjoSimUhkVhiXggYff_edadbbc`dcZfbXgaVZqR_mS_iU\ _eV`aWzcKaTZaP_aL`zHabDcc9dc5ec1fd5he8ieBjfElfHmgL\ nhOphRqiUriXtz`0kzvkfxliyllzifwfaucXr`Rp000VHkTCi_\ TceiZkyUI6RG9QECPDFOBIN9LM8OLBMJELIHJHJIGMGFPFERDD\ UCCXBAZ99a88d67f56i35l24n13o2Ip3Xp4jl9khDkdIk`MkXQ\ kUVlQZlMblIglEklBolMchWTdeI`o7Xp9VpAUqBSqCRqDQrEOr\ FNsGLsHKsIJtJHtKGtLFuMDuNCvOAvP9vQ8wR6wS5wT4rQDnOL\ jMUeKaaIjYGrYHrXJsXKsWMtWNtVPuVQuUSvUTvTVwTWwSYxSZ\ xZbpdehkh`qkUqnRqpPqsMqvK } frm:MandAutoCritInZ {; 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)+(p4)), 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
