But I can't see why. In my opinion, the ; image, which rated a 7, is above average, but many other past ; FOTD images have also rated a 7. I guess the style of the image ; reminds viewers of the 60's, a time that is long lost in the ; past. As a matter of interest, the discussion for that FOTD ; mentions the futility of trying to make a living selling fractal ; prints. ; ; Today's image also has a bit of a pop-art look about it. The ; pop effect is perhaps not as obvious as that of the 5-year-old ; image, but it is still apparent. In recognition of its pop-art ; style, I named today's image "Pop-a-Brot". And when it came ; time to assign a rating, I was totally undecided, so I rated it ; at a big question mark and let it go at that. ; ; Today's FOTD is an evaporated image that was produced by ; combining 2 negative parts of Z^(-2.2) with 1/2 negative part ; of Z^(-4.4), and then adding (1/C). The parent fractal is an ; indescribable thing with X-axis symmetry. Today's scene is ; located in the northeast suburbs of the parent. ; ; The calculation time of 56 seconds is true on the fast 2000mhz ; fractal computer. The slower 200mhz machine will take around 5 ; minutes to complete the job, but even 5 minutes is a short wait ; in the slow world of fractals. ; ; The minor wait may be totally eliminated however by going to the ; FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and viewing the image there. ; ; Tuesday was an absolutely perfect day here at Fractal Central, ; and the fractal cats agreed. As for me, I find one perfect day ; after another rather boring. I guess there's no way to make ; everyone happy at the same time, which raises thoughts about the ; claims of absolutely perfect happiness for everyone in heaven. ; But that's a topic for a future philofractal discussion. ; ; My immediate plans are to post another fractal in 24 hours. So ; until then, take care, and be with fractals wherever you may go. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Pop-a-Brot { ; time=0:00:56.80-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+1.36298586060046/+1.348167281553784/\ 1.083363e+007/1/120/4.29956293e-006 params=-2/-2.2\ /-0.5/-4.4/0/1e+100/0/0 float=y maxiter=500 inside=bof61 outside=fmod periodicity=10 colors=000YBB_HC`NCaTCwqqnjchcQfw3EhhLe_RbSX_Kcxpb\ mZbeNL5xWvjlGDmP0Hd3PF0RM5faO16k`HOcMLcQIbUFiELeOG\ FVnRXVj_YhZSfZNdYHKm2Ra6X_9k70hE3fL6dS96xObFJbMGbS\ EqGgUikXe__aOWzxZpg`fSs5rnDgjKXfRMsZUmYOgYIEkJYcl_\ a_a_OxcZNlyVd`RbHX_E`xyaohbfSHH3PN6WT9_P6Vj7DSTBcJ\ LaGU_ErWxjX_i4yeJ`4LoMSWqyLmrIikGedEe8ndFdcLVbSL6K\ Yl48iC9gJAdRB5_EEenRaVENuNReVVRi_reZXG4q`DyaO`ChZQ\ bN5io8quRy3Vo6Zf9Rj2VftXchZaY`_NlSevcMbD4bO88D2GJ5\ OO7WTAQsrUmgXhX_bMehedeYcbRb_JVWDR96L2gQA_UISZQKRv\ 6o8s4kfDgZMdRV`Ji6WeKMDdzCzAJrBQkBXdCl32Zoo_je`fWa\ aMyAlwphpiYicNEE0LJ3RO6XT9Uz7`8oaHabQP1_`BZUKZOUYI\ uzjkkTemndgacbPcvMnfA2xiCq`LjTUcKj5wfK_O0KS9IWHG_Q\ E4b1D`4M_7VZAO2`TDSYOK`wKapIajGbcEaLEo6ljG_fPOAoxP\ f_Gt7Qf38_yGZlOZ`WYOusOpmLkhIfbFrNvnQjjTZfWNF29RIB\ 6WyFXlNX`VYOMFCR1cOeIZgQbdMeaJhZFkWCabLTiUKpbBwkLg\ eVsIWcBXO44GL_T8IYtPYeWYR } 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
