One of my favorites was 'The Blob'. The original ; blob was quick-frozen and dropped somewhere in the arctic, where ; it was supposed to remain forever frozen. But I fear global ; warming has melted the blob and returned it to life. ; ; The reconstituted blob was last seen in East Valley of the Z^2+C ; Julibrot, where it was busy absorbing and digesting helpless ; fractal stuff. But the gray alien creature was spotted by an ; alert fractalist, who took a picture of its illicit activities. ; The picture is today's image. ; ; Actually, the image is an oblique Julibrot view of the same mini- ; brot that was featured in yesterday's image. The remnants of ; the minibrot are visible near the center of the stretched-out ; gray blob, which was caught in the act of oozing toward its next ; victims. ; ; I named the image "The Blob Returns", which is self explanatory. ; Then I rated at a 6, which is a little but not too much above ; average. The calculation time of 1-3/4 minutes is well within ; reason. The image is also available for viewing on the FOTD web ; site at: ; ; ; ; Cloudy skies, light snow flurries, and a temperature of 39F 4C ; made for a less-than-ideal day here at Fractal Central on ; Friday. The fractal cats must have agreed, for they were ; un-obtrusive most of the day. The work in my department was ; rather heavy, but it was finished on time. The next FOTD will ; appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, think positive, and ; make it so. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= The_Blob_Returns { ; time=0:01:44.68-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=SliceJulibrot2 passes=1 center-mag=+0.00000000906052697/-0.000000209298904\ 66/8.685462e+007/0.0248/-92.5881870469584527/89.31\ 640322573726 params=88.552/78.706/139.555/-114.465\ /0.27597657825/-0.00675606143/0.27597657825/-0.006\ 75606143 float=y maxiter=6000 inside=0 logmap=460 periodicity=10 colors=000BZbC_bD_bD_bE`aF`aGaaHaaHaaIbaJb`Kc`Kc`L\ c`Md`Nd`Oe_Oe_Pe_Qf_Rf_Rf_VeZYeY`eXceWgdVjdUmdTpdS\ sdSiZZ`TdRNkIIqBJf4JX6LZ8N_APaBRbDTcFUeHWfIYgK_iMa\ jNbkO`jPZjPXiQWiRUhRShSQgTPgTNfULfVJfVIeWGeXEdXCdY\ BcZ9cZ7b_5b_4bZ7_Z9YZCWYEUYGSYJQYLOXNMXQKXSIXUG_RJ\ bPLeNNhLQkISnGUqEXtCZwA`v9_u8_t7_s7_r6_q5_p4_o4_n3\ _m2_l1_k1_i3Xg5Ve6Sc8Qa9N_BLYCIWEGUFDSHBRI9UMAZQBc\ UChYDmaEreFviGzmHzqIzuJzyKzvJzsJzpJzmJzjJzgJzdJvaJ\ rZJmWJhTJdQJgNJiLJeJIaHIZGIVEHRDHOBHK9GG8GD6G95F53\ F22F44G56H68I7AJ8CJ9DKAFLBHMDJMELNFNOGOPHQPISQJURK\ WSLXSOWTQWUSWUUWVWVVYVW_VXaVXdUYfUYhUZjU_lT_nT`pT`\ rTatTapUemVhjWkgXndYqaZtZ_wW`zVauUbqTcmTdiSeeRfaRg\ XQhTPiPPjLOkHNlDNm9QnDToHWpKZqOasSduVgwZjxbmyepzir\ zlmzkizkdzk`zkWzkSzkNzkJzkEzkAzk5zk1zk3zl5zl6zl8zl\ 9zmBzmCzmEzmGznHznJznKznMzoNzoPzoRzoSzpUzpVzpXzpYz\ pXzoWznWznVzmVzlUzlUzkTzk } frm:SliceJulibrot2 {; draws most slices of Julibrot pix=pixel, u=real(pix), v=imag(pix), a=pi*real(p1*0.0055555555555556), b=pi*imag(p1*0.0055555555555556), g=pi*real(p2*0.0055555555555556), d=pi*imag(p2*0.0055555555555556), ca=cos(a), cb=cos(b), sb=sin(b), cg=cos(g), sg=sin(g), cd=cos(d), sd=sin(d), p=u*cg*cd-v*(ca*sb*sg*cd+ca*cb*sd), q=u*cg*sd+v*(ca*cb*cd-ca*sb*sg*sd), r=u*sg+v*ca*sb*cg, s=v*sin(a), c=p+flip(q)+p3, z=r+flip(s)+p4: z=sqr(z)+c |z|<=9 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
