And ; there are layers also -- not artificial human-created layers, ; but real layers, created by the numbers themselves. All this, ; and the result rates only a 6.5. ; ; I'm not quite sure what the image lacks, maybe it is a well- ; defined focus of attention, but despite all the fractal goodies, ; I could bring myself to rate the image no higher than a 6-1/2. ; ; The slightly oversized parent fractal was created by the formula ; Z^1.25+0.5(Z^2.5)+C, and is shaped like two M-sets, one facing ; NNW and the other facing SSW, loosely connected along their main ; bays. Smaller minibrots lie just beyond the main buds of the ; two M-sets. Today's scene lies between the northern minibrot ; and the main bud there. ; ; I named the image "Hole-Spiral-Midget", the three things vying ; for attention in the scene. The calculation time of 4 minutes ; could be faster, but it also could be slower. All calculation ; may be avoided however by viewing the finished image on the FOTD ; web site at: ; ; ; ; Near ideal early spring weather prevailed here at Fractal ; Central on Easter Saturday, Sunday and Monday, with lots of sun ; and a temperature near 50F 10C each day. The fractal cats ; enjoyed the sun in their sunny window. ; ; I managed to survive the holiday with only a little annoyance. ; But the work for tomorrow looks to be heavier than usual, which ; could affect the FOTD. Regardless of the work however, the next ; FOTD, in glorious RGB color, will be posted in 24 hours. Until ; then, take care, and wonder about the things worth wondering ; about. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Hole-Spiral-Midget { ; time=0:04:00.62-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident passes=1 center-mag=-0.78157556/+1.91021611/363.0164/1/-85/\ 5.219991e-013 params=1/1.25/0.5/2.5/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=5000 inside=0 logmap=40 periodicity=10 colors=000nI0c00Z00c00m00tL0m00c00U00U00U00U00U00U\ 00z00Y00Y00z00Y00Y00z00Y00Y00zU0Z00Z00m00Z00Z00Z00\ Z00ZNmZJlYFlZGkZHjZHiZIiZJh_Jg_Kf_Kf_Le_Md`Mc`Nc`O\ b`Oa`P``P`aQ_aRZaQYaQYaQXbPWbPVbPVbTUgUTgUScVScTRc\ TQcUP`ULcUPfSThRXiP`jNdkQfjQgjRgiNgjOhiOhjQhjQijRi\ jRiiSiiSjhTjhTjhTkgTkhTkgUlgUlfUlgUlgUmfUmgUmfUnfU\ neUneUneUodUodUocUpcUpbUpbUqbUqaUqaUq`Ur`Ur_Ur_Us_\ UsZUsZUsYUtYUtXUtXUuXUuWUuWUvVUvVUvUUvUUwUUwTUwTUx\ SUxSUxSUxRUyRUyRUyRUyRUyRUyRUyRUzRUzRUzRUzRUzRUzRU\ zRUzRUzQUzQUzQUvQUzQUzQUzQUzQUzQUzQUzQTzQSzQRzQQzQ\ PzQOzPNzQMzRLzRKzSJzSIzTGzUFzUEzVFzVGzWHzWIzXJzYKz\ YLzZMzZNz_Oz_Pz`QzaRzaSzbTzbUzcVzdWzdXzeYzeZzf_zf`\ zgazhbzhczidziezjfzkgzkgzkhzkhzkizkizkjzkjzkkzkkzk\ lzllzlmzlmzlmzlmzlmzlmzlmzmmzmmzmmzmmzmmzmnzmozmpz\ nqznrznszntznuzovzpwzqxzryzszztzzuzzvzzwzzxzzyzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz } 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
