Such images remind me too much of a photogra- ; phic double exposure. But today's FOTD most definitely has two ; layers. The difference is that the layers of today's FOTD are ; an actual part of a single fractal, and are created in a single ; pass, not piled on individually by a creative fractal artist. ; ; The generating formula and parent fractal are the same ones that ; brought about the past several days' images. Today's scene lies ; on a minor side-shoot of the immense ring that makes up most of ; the parent. ; ; I named the image "The Layered Look" because of the effect of ; two separate layers, which in a way actually exist. I rated it ; at a 9 because I think it's worth it. And if I had had more ; time to work on the colors, I might have been able to rate it at ; least a 9.5. ; ; The layers were achieved by partially evaporating the 'outside' ; part of the image by raising the bailout radius to 1,950,000,000 ; and coloring the newly revealed 'inside' parts with the 'zmag' ; option, which is responsible for the straight diagonal bands. ; ; The calculation time of 2-1/2 minutes on the fireball P4-2000mhz ; unit would be increased to near 15 minutes on the slower P200mhz ; machine. But the trip to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; where the completed image may be viewed instantly, can be done ; in under a minute, if all goes well. ; ; Lots of heat and humidity prevailed here at Fractal Central on ; Saturday. The high temperature of 90F 32C felt more like the ; middle of July than early September. Showers threatened in the ; afternoon, but passed well south. ; ; The fractal cats seemed not to notice the weather, spending ; their time instead looking for mischief. My day was adequate. ; All I can hope for is that tomorrow be the same. The next FOTD ; will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and enjoy the ; world. It's a big bang of a fractal show. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= The_Layered_Look { ; time=0:02:33.46-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-13.48658364309034/-4.135779398727093/\ 8.047622e+009/1/-177.500087240412142/0.000269112669 params=-5.5/-1.4142/-1.1/-4/0/1950000000/0/0 float=y maxiter=550 inside=zmag periodicity=10 colors=00000AKA0CakCciBegBgeQ1cSAcUJcWRcY_a_hgapmv\ lzsVhf2a`9SVGIZaeavzcQihIsmBzGXtqbuQfvUewZgxciy00m\ zzzuzzuvzrszooyllxijvfhucgt`esYcqVbpSboPcnMclJckGc\ jEdiGefIfcKbcL_cMVcMQcNLcOHcQCcP7cN3cqnBrkDqhFqfHr\ dIscKtbMveAwaPzhAy`AwYPlVMPSJRVKTYLV`MXdMZfP`hUafZ\ bcccZhdUmePrfKwgFwhAwi5wj6wk9wmDwnHwoLwqPwqTwrWwrZ\ wrawsdwsgwsjwbkwMkwlTghVj00AbZp_`sXavWWtUQrTKpSFnO\ JkLNhIReFUbCY_9aX6dVzlfuigpfhkcig`jbYkYVlTSmPPnLah\ HmbJl`Kk_MjZNjYOiWQhVRgUSgT`bWhZYpV`xRbuUdsWeqZfo`\ gmbhkeiigjfikdllbnm`pnZsoXupVwqXvnYulZti`tgasdbrbc\ r`dnbdkcdgddded`fdYgdUhdRieOkeKlcnN`lOYjPVhQTgQQeR\ NcSKaTH_UFZUG_WH_XH`YI`ZI`_Ja`JaaKbbKbcLbdLceMcfMc\ gTaeZ_ceYbkW`rUZxTYeNzfPzgQzgRzhSzhTziVyiWwjXvkYuk\ Zsl`rlapmbomcmndlnekg_daUYWORQJLOKMMKNKKOJKOHLPFLQ\ ELQCLRAMS9MS7MT5MU4MU6OX7PZ9QaARcBSfDUhEVkGWmHXpIY\ ruBNlFUcJ`VNfMRmDUsCWcCYo } 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
