(To turn the parent fractal inside-out ; change real(p3) from zero to -0.2) This parent fractal, with ; its 2 large bays, resembles a figure 8, with lots of added ; attractions in the form of interesting nooks and crannies to ; explore. Today's scene is located in an area near the origin ; that is easier seen than described. This area appears to be ; fragments of two or more overlapping bits of Mandeloid stuff. ; ; In addition to a very critical value of the real(p1) and ; real(p2) parameters, the imag(p3) parameter, which sets the ; bailout radius, is also a bit critical. Changing the first two ; parameters totally loses the scene, while changing the third to ; a lower value loses the scene also. Raising the third parameter ; to a higher value works subtle but interesting changes. ; ; I named the image "Blooming Iterations". There is no good ; reason why I gave the image this name except that it sounds ; strange enough to be the name of a fractal. The rating of a 7 ; was well earned by the 30 minutes I spent tweaking colors. ; ; The calculation time of 1-1/3 minutes on the P4-2000mhz Dell ; fireball stretches to around 8 minutes on the tired old P200mhz ; unit. As always, the best and easiest way to see the image is ; to go to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and view it there. ; ; Another perfect day prevailed here at Fractal Central on Monday. ; The cloudless skies and temperature of 81F 27C could hardly be ; improved upon. At least, that's what the fractal cats thought ; as they stretched out in the sun coming in the side window. ; ; My day was neutral -- not busy, not boring, just average. The ; next FOTD is due to appear right here in 24 hours. Until then, ; take care, and if fractals are made of numbers and the universe ; is a fractal, is the universe then made of numbers? Or is it ; that numbers best describe what the universe *is* made of? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= BloomingIterations { ; time=0:01:23.64-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip center-mag=+0.17339511997376180/-0.105223649893324\ 40/1529334/1/-90/3.88578058618804789e-016 params=-0.85/1.1/0.85/-1.1/0/-60/0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=162 periodicity=10 colors=050_CfdKzd5qe5qc7leAn_CfcDiWA`cDgT5W`AcQ5TY\ 5aO5SV5WM5OP5SJ5PM5AF5AI50B50E505707TZ2mZ0zZCtbOgd\ ZUfkNqv5oz5uzzczzzz5ozzzvFfsJdqPboT`mWZkaZheXiiVdn\ TflRRzktiRzc8zd0rK0zW0iA0nP5c57iIAU5Eb5I85MQ7O0AR0\ CV0DZ0Fb0J`0Hd0Fh0Dk0Cs0Dm0Fh0Hb0JX0LR5NO8PICRCIT7\ MU0PU0RU0TU0TU0VU0XU0XU0ZU0`U0`W0bW0dW0dW0fW0hW0hW\ 0iW0kW0mW0mY0oY0qY0qY0sY0uY2uY2vY2xY2x_2z_2z_2z_2z\ _5z_5z_5z_5z_5z_5za5za5za7za7za7za7za7ht7or5vn2zm0\ zk0zr0zi0z_AzTMzJXuAho5si5zf5zd5zd5zd5zd5zd5zd5zd5\ zd5xd5ud5sd5qf5if5df5Zf5Tf5Of5If5Cf57h50f50d52b55`\ 57Z58X5AV5CO5AT5EX5Ib5Mf5Pi5Ro5Vs5Zx5bz5fz7hzAkzAo\ zCszDvzDxzLvzRuvYukcs`kqRpqPtsOvuMzuKzvIzvIzxGzxEz\ zCzzAzz0zzAzzKzxTzubzqkzmuzizzfzzbzzZzzXzzVzxVzxTz\ vTzvRzvRztVzt`zrfzrkzrqzrvzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrz\ zrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzr\ zzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrz } 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
