I was totally surprised when the ; type=hypercomplex formula took almost five times as long to draw ; exactly the same image. Since then, I have made a few minor ; changes to the parameters, so the final version that appears as ; today's FOTD cannot be drawn by the type=hypercomplex. But it ; is only fair to comment that the periodicity need not be turned ; off with the type=hypercomplex, which means that images with a ; significant amount of 'inside' area, may run in about the same ; time under both formulas. ; ; Today's image shows a minibrot in East Valley. The little guy ; is in a bit of trouble, for it appears he is starting to close ; up. Actually, the HyperMandelbrot set consists of two classic ; M-sets that can be made to overlap in various ways, and this is ; what has happened to the minibrot in today's image. ; ; The surrounding elements have split apart, which is why I named ; the image "Seeing Double". I rated it at a 6 because I can see ; nothing out of the ordinary with it, nor did I put any signifi- ; cant effort into the coloring. ; ; Perhaps the best thing about the image is its fireball calcula- ; tion time of under 2 minutes. And even this speed might be ; exceeded by going to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and viewing the finished image there. ; ; Heavy clouds and occasional rain spoiled the mild temperature of ; 48F 9C here at Fractal Central on Tuesday, while the fractal ; cats spent the day watching the world pass by. ; ; I spent the day working and trying not to work. The work won. ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and did reality really exist before someone dreamed up the ; concept? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Seeing_Double { ; time=0:01:55.40-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=HyperMandelbrot2 passes=1 center-mag=+0.301038546627/+0.023570365936/1.7e+007\ /1/115/0 params=0/0/0/0/-0.0025/0/1e-008/0 float=y maxiter=3600 inside=0 logmap=247 periodicity=0 colors=000N0UO0UP0UQ0UQ0UQ0UQ0UQ0VR0WR0XR0YR0ZR0_S\ 3`S3aS4`S4_S4ZS4YP7aM9eJChGElDHpAJsCMqEOpGQoISnKUm\ MWlOZjQ`iSbhUdgWffYieYlgZidZfa_bZ_ZW`VT`RQaNNaJKbF\ Ha7KbBEcF8cI3nPJyVYuTVrSToRRlQPhPNeOLbMI_LGWKETJCQ\ IANH8NC3RG6VJ8`NBeQDlUFtXIw`KzdJy`MxVOwMQzDUwEStFQ\ qGOnHMkIKhJIeKGbLE_MCXMAXNBXNBXOCXOCXOCXPDXPDXPDXQ\ EXQEXRFXRFXRFXSGXSGXSGZTH`VIbWJdYKfZLh`NjbOlcPneQp\ fRrhStiTvkUxlVufWraXoXYlSYiUWfWUcXS`ZQY_OVaMSbLPdJ\ MeHJgFGhDDjBAkAAjBBiCChDDgEEfFFeGFdHGcIHaKI`LJ_MJZ\ NKYOLXPMWQNUSOTTOSUPRVQQWRPXSOYFyNGvOHsPIpQJmRKjSL\ gTMdUNaVOZWPWXQTYRQZ3Tc8RcDQfIPdNObujZmdZfZZZTZpzF\ nvGmsHloIkkJiiKhgLgfMfdNdcOcaPb_QaZR_XSZWTYUUXTVVR\ WUQXTOY5jP6iQ7mQ8qR9wRAwRBmSBhSChSDiTEjTFkUGlUHmUH\ nVLoVPpVUqWZsWcuXhwXmzXrzYvzYzzYzzZzzZzzuzzqzznzzk\ zzgzzdzzazzKzzLzzLzzMzzMzzNzzNzzOzzOzzPzzPzzQzzQzz\ RzzRzzSzzSzzTzzTzzUzzUzzV } frm:HyperMandelbrot2 {; periodicity must be turned off a=(p1),b=(p2): q=sqr(a)-sqr(b)+pixel, b=(p3+2)*a*b+p4, a=q, |a|+|b| <= 100 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
