The result was ; another interesting parent fractal with more nooks and crannies ; than could be explored in a hundred lifetimes. Having only one ; lifetime, at least under my present name, I will have time to ; explore only an infinitesimal part of this parent before moving ; on. Today's image is my go at this particular fractal. ; ; This parent is mostly a network of criss-crossing filaments with ; a few small minibrots scattered about. This filament network ; shows up quite well with today's color palette when the logmap ; is turned off and the magnitude set to 0.15. ; ; The first thing I checked in the parent fractal was a tiny ; little blip along the negative X-axis, where, after a rather ; frustrating search, I found the scene of today's minibrot action. ; ; I named the image "Zits" because of its pimply appearance, and ; also because the word is one of my favorite scrabble words, ; though all too often the enemy adds a letter 'i' and makes the ; word 'ziti', to which I then add an 's' and make the word ; 'zitis'. ; ; The rating of a 7 honestly describes how I feel about the image. ; It's a little better than average, though far from outstanding. ; And the very brief calculation time of 43 seconds will evoke the ; impatience of no one. ; ; As always, the most convenient way to see the image is to view ; it on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Perfect weather, with blue skies, hot sun and a temperature of ; 84F 29C, prevailed here at Fractal Central on Sunday, though ; with all the perfection we have seen lately, it might be best to ; call the conditions average. The fractal cats were more con- ; cerned with the pigeons on the sidewalk than with the weather. ; ; I took advantage of the Sunday perfection by doing nothing. Un- ; fortunately, my idleness will end on Monday, when a sizable job ; is due in. Unless things get totally out of control, the next ; FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and ; computers can compute four dimensional objects very well. So ; why can't we? (It must be a genetic mental block.) ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Zits { ; time=0:00:43.32-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-0.55725035034667650/+0.001783147086022\ 90/8.73116e+012/1/95.34/0 params=1/2/1e-006/-15/0/\ 0/0/0 float=y maxiter=425 inside=0 logmap=72 periodicity=10 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=0000CL0DN0EQ0EU0DZACcFBhKAmNArPAvQLzM`mIicZ\ rUwzDczFcsIJlJYdMPUOcMPOK`MJRLG4JF0ID0GC0OQ0VY0ad0\ im0pu4xz7zzAzxFxmJuaMrSQoIVl6Yi0af0dJTlPQfTO`YMVaJ\ PfIJzFDzD7zAI_9QS7_L4gD3p61y00z9DzJQvTcrcplmzfxzas\ zXprQlfLiVFdJ9a73Y00V00`04f0Gl6QrCaxJlzPxzVzz`yvdp\ pjgjo`liSodJp_CsV3uP0vL01mu0`m0Of0A`00T00O00F00606\ 00C0070C40P00a00o00z00z00z01z04z06z09z0Cz0Ds3LiCS`\ L_QTdIal7js0sy3lr7dlCYfGS`GPYFMVDJS1sX1v`1xd1yiacv\ zJzvOzgSrTXiF``1dSL`QcXQvSQzPQufAsjCsoDssFsvGrzIrz\ JrzLrzLmzVizcdzl`zuSz`LzIFzG9zG4zF0zF0zD0zD1zJFzPS\ zVcz`VzTOzMFzF6z70z1GzLYzcozvzzzzzzzzzzzzxzyvzvuzs\ rzopzlozipzjpzjrzjrzjszjszjuzjuzjvzjvzjxzjxzjyzjyz\ jvzgszdrzcoz`lzYjzXgzTdzQczP`zMYzJXzITzFQzCPzAFzzP\ zz_zvXzmVzdTzXQrOPzFOz6Mz0SzGXz_`zp_zc_zQ_zDczCfzA\ izAlz9oz7rz7azQMzg7zy1zu0zr0zo0zl0zg6zcFz_PzV_zQgz\ Ozz0uz0mz0fz1_z6Sz9LzDDzG } 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
