I will not ; try to describe the resulting parent fractal, which is filled ; with indescribable almost-Mandeloid things, but I can at least ; say with certainty that today's scene is located in a debris ; field of the parent, and that this debris is organizing itself ; into a field of loose spirals. ; ; Unable to decide whether to rate the image at an 8 or a 9, I ; finally decided to split the difference and rate it at an 8-1/2, ; which, considering the accidental 3-dimensional effect, seems ; reasonable. Much less reasonable is the name I gave the image, ; "Ancient Attributes". I have totally forgotten why I chose such ; a name, but in a way the name is appropriate. After all, the ; midget at the center of today's image has been waiting to be ; stumbled upon since before the 'big bang' opened the universe. ; ; The calculation time of under 2 minutes on the 2000mhz fireball ; is reasonably reasonable. On the slow P200mhz machine, which ; served as the FOTD fractal generator for almost 8 years, the ; image would finish in around 10 minutes. ; ; But visiting the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and viewing the completed image there is still the simplest way ; to see the ancient fractal ; ; When the autumn temperature reached 88F 31C on Tuesday here at ; Fractal Central, the weather became a little too perfect. The ; fractal cats, who are most active in the evenings, slept through ; most of the un-autumnish heat, not coming to life until the sun ; was low and it was time for their evening treats. I enjoyed a ; slow relaxing day, something that is a rarity around F.C. ; ; The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, ; and the Mandelbrot set certainly has a true shape, but does it ; have a true size? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Ancient_Attributes { ; time=0:01:52.04-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-0.359501241348669/-0.458041352586948/\ 1396462/1/-112.5/-1.56219443846195016e-007 float=y params=-0.88/1.1/1/-1.1/0/0/0/0 maxiter=1650 inside=0 logmap=168 periodicity=10 colors=00030E40F66G70H97IA1JC9KD4LFAMG6NICOJ7PLDQM\ 9ROFSP9SQFQS9QTAPV7PX4OY1O_0M`0Ma0Mc0Od0Pf0Qg0Qi1S\ j3Ti4Tg6Vf7Xd9XcAYaC_`D`_F`YGaVIcTJcSLdQMfPOfOPgMQ\ iLSjJTjIVlGXmFYmD_oC`pAapFcoJdoMfoQgoTimYim`jmdlmg\ mmlolpplsplxrlzsjzujzvjzsjzojzigzddy`asY_mTYiPVcSS\ YJPTGMOFLI4ID9F60C009007006006004104403903C01G01J0\ 0L00O00P00S00T00X00_00`00c00d00g00i00l00o00p00s00u\ 00x00y00z00z10z30z40z60z70z70z90zA0zC0zD1zF3zF4zG6\ zI7zJ9zLAzMAzOCzODzPFzQGzSIzTJzVLzVLzTJgrcjpalp`mo\ _poYrmXsmVvmTxlSylQzjPzjOzjOzjPzlQzlQzlSzlTzmVzmXz\ mXzoYzo`zogzoozpvzpzzpzzpzzrzzrzzrzzszzszzszzszzuz\ zuzzuzzuzzvzvvvsvoovglv`gvTcoM`gDXg7Tg3Pg0Mg0Og0Qo\ 0Tv0Xz1_z3az4dz7gz9jzAmzDpzFszGvzJyzLzzMzzPzzQzzSz\ zVzzXzzYzz`zzazzczzdzzYzzQzzJzzCzz4zz0zz0zz0zz0zz4\ zz7zzFzzMzzTzz`zzgzzmzzozzozzpzzpzzrzzrzzszzszzszz\ uzzuzzvzzvzzxzzazzazzazza } 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
