How many times have I ; searched for interesting midgets in the fractals with exponents ; of Z in the range between 1 and 2? And how many times have I ; come away only marginally satisfied? Too many times to count! ; ; Today's scene lies in the Z^(sqrt(2))+C Mandeloid as it appears ; 1.4142 turns up the logarithmic hyperspiral ladder, where it is ; little more than a shapeless bay surrounded by a field of chaos, ; with one dreary bud attached. The image is located at the edge ; of the chaos on the west side of the shapeless bay. ; ; I named the image "Here We Go Again" because I knew ahead of ; time from long experience that the result would not be worth the ; effort. Still, I saw enough in the tortured little minibrot at ; the center to work a bit on the colors and declare the image the ; FOTD for today. ; ; I could rate the result no higher than a 5, but a 5 is not too ; bad when the image calculates in a hyper-speedy 14-2/3 seconds. ; And even the little bit of effort required to load and run the ; included parameter file may be avoided by viewing the finished ; image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Another near-perfect day prevailed here at Fractal Central on ; Friday. The morning fog burned off by 10am, leading to a sunny ; day with a temperature of 84F 29C. The fractal cats enjoyed the ; weather from the indoors, watching the squirrels gathering nuts. ; ; My day was notably normal. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 ; hours, give or take a few. Until then, take care, and might the ; secrets of the universe be hidden in the manifested abstractions ; known as fractals? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Here_We_Go_Again { ; time=0:00:14.65-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC2 center-mag=-1.20822656/\ +0.69457459/2303/1/-120/0 params=1.4142/0/1.4142/0 float=y maxiter=2000 inside=0 logmap=45 colors=000Q5KSAOUFSWNWYR__Vca_gcdkfinhmrjnvgkyagzS\ cyHZv7R6BU7FZ7Id8Mj8Po8Rm8Th8U`8WV8YO8ZI8ZDAZ9BZ5C\ Z1DW3JU4PS5VP7`N8fL9lJAqeXLbWJ`VHYUFWTDTSBRR9PR7PZ\ FPfMPzTPz_czNmzAmzA_eAcc9Hc8acYvYwkZjaZYSZLIZ8VhFf\ qMrzTisV`mWSfXJcYAcZ2c_7cZCcYHcXMdWRhVWlU`pTetSfrW\ fq_focfnfegadaYccUbcQacM`cIYcUVcdShoPszSrsVrmYrgSf\ WMcKHc8NcFSbMXkSUgUScVPcWNcXKcYIcZFc_Dc`DcYDcVDcSD\ fPDmMDsJDyGAjO7cV4ca9cdDcfHchLcjPclTjnXnpahjfcekZ_\ pcVtcQkcaccmWcyTcrRclPcfMc_KcUIcOGcIFcRFcZElgEwokP\ ulSplUklWflYal_XlaSlcNleJjgRhiYfkedmlcnsaip`dn_clZ\ djYegXgeWicVkaUmYUoUTqQTrNSsJStFSuCLvVEwmMxjTyg_zd\ fzamzZpzerzkozmmznjzphzqfzrAztazu_zvWzqTzlQzhMzczz\ JzzLzzTzz_zzgzznzzuzzozzizzczzYzzVzzTzzQzzOzzMzzNz\ zOzzPzzQzzRzzNzzJzzFzzBzz7zz3zz0zz5zzAzzFzzKzzPzzU\ zzYzzazzezzizzlzzpzzizzczzYzzSzzMzzTzzZzzdzzjzzpzz\ vzzuzztzztzzszzrzzrzz2zz2 } frm:MandelbrotBC2 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100, p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*floor(p/(2*PI)), r=real(p2)-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
