This name is not ; exactly correct however, for the parent fractal of today's image ; is not the same one that appeared as the FOTD of July 31, 2007, ; and which I have been using for a week as the source of the FOTD ; images. To create today's parent I changed the Z^(-1.05) of the ; old parent to Z^(-1.04). ; ; This tiny change makes a huge difference in the appearance of ; the resulting parent fractal. The overall characteristics, such ; as the Mandeloid with no East Valley, and the multitude of ; terminating rings, remain pretty much the same, but the size ; grows to grotesque proportions. Today's image is located very ; near the western extremity of this humongous parent. ; ; The image has kind of a pop-art effect, with contrasting areas ; of nearly flat color filling the screen. If the image is ; rendered with the outside set to 'tdis', a more traditional ; effect will result, which is a bit too busy for my taste. Evapo- ; rating the image works only with the 'bof61' inside fill, when ; it merely reproduces the pop-art effect. ; ; After not-too-careful consideration, I decided to rate the image ; at an 8. It might not be worth every bit of this rating, but I ; rather like the posterized effect, so in my opinion the rating ; is justified. ; ; The calculation time of 5-1/2 minutes is little enough price to ; pay for the pleasure of watching the image come to life. This ; pleasure may be bypassed however by visiting the FOTD web site ; at: ; ; ; ; where the parameter file has already been calculated and the ; image posted for immediate viewing. ; ; Tuesday was quite warm and very humid here at Fractal Central, ; with a high temperature of 90F 32C, but clouds and a breeze kept ; things from becoming stifling. The light rain that arrived in ; the evening made the night even more humid. ; ; The F.C. cats spent most of the day sleeping, while I spent most ; all day on a small but complicated job. The next FOTD is due in ; 24 hours. Whether it actually appears is still only a likely ; probability. Until next time, take care, seek mysteries, then ; try to solve them. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Final_Parent_Image { ; time=0:05:30.21-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-481.3005884818092/+241.4385525952534/\ 7.83732e+007/1/140/0 params=2.5/-1.04/0.35/-5.05/0\ /0/0/0 float=y maxiter=3600 inside=0 periodicity=10 colors=000ZXY_XV`YTaYQbYPc_Md_Le_Jg`Gi`Fk`CmaApa7s\ c6xc4xc1za0zd0z_0zf0zY0zf0zX0za0zV0zY0yT1vV3uS4rQ7\ oO9lOCgJDfJG_GIaGJTDYXCOPAcQ7SO6fL4XJ3lM6_O7lPAaSC\ mTFdVGuYJv_Lz`OzcMzdSzfSziXzjXzl`zo`zpdzrdzuizvizx\ mzzmzzrzzrzzvzzvzzzzzxzzzzzzzzzzzxyzsrzplzlfyg_xdT\ u`MrXGpTArXCrYCr_Dr`DraFrcFrfGrgGriIrjIrlJpmJmoLjo\ LgoMdmOamP_mQXlSTlTQlVOlXLjYIj_Fj`Cia9ic6id7dc9dc9\ _cAaaAVaC_aCQ`DX`FL`FT_GK_GQ_IIYIOYJHYLLXLGXMIXMFV\ OFVODVPCTQATQ9TS7SS6ST4ST3SV4QV4PV6OV6MV6LV7JV7IX9\ GX9FX9DXACXAAXC9XC7XC6aDAfDFlDIpDMuDPvDQvCSxCTyAVy\ AXz9Yz9_z9_zCYzDYzGYzIXyJXyLXyMXyOVyPVxQVxTVxXTx_T\ vaTudTsgSrjSpmSooSmoQlpQjpQipQgrPfrOdrMcoLcrJ`iIXm\ GPdFIdDA`C3XA1YC1YC1YD1YD0YF0YF0YG0YG0_I0`I0aJ0cJ0\ dL0fL0gM0iM0jO0lO7mPFoPMpQTrQ`sSguSovTvxTzyVzzVzzX\ zzXzzYzzYzz_zz_zzazz`zz_zzazzOzzczzIzz9zzAzzAzzXvv\ XrtXmmYukYccYiaZUUZP`_KK_ } 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
