Maybe it's the ; colors, of perhaps the overly busy appearance. Maybe it's that ; the minibrot too closely resembles those in the more remote ; valleys of the classic M-set. But whatever it is, I could rate ; the image no higher than a 6. The name "Not Quite There" shows ; my disappointment. ; ; The formula of the parent fractal subtracts 1/2 part of Z^(-2) ; from 1/2 part of Z^2 and adds C. The parent itself consists of ; a scattering of Mandeloids, with today's scene located in a ; valley on the south side of the largest bud of the largest ; Mandeloid. ; ; In an attempt to add interest, I rendered the image with the ; outside set to 'tdis', which is the setting I use almost as ; frequently as the standard equal-iteration bands. The result ; was not all that I had hoped. ; ; The calculation time of 9 minutes could be faster, but it also ; could be slower. All calculation problems may be bypassed ; however by visiting the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and viewing the finished image there. ; ; Friday started rainy here at Fractal Central, but by mid-morning ; the rain ended and by mid-afternoon the sun appeared. When the ; temperature reached 48F 9C, the day actually became quite ; pleasant. The fractal cats enjoyed the sun when it finally ; broke through. ; ; My day was notably average. The next FOTD will make its initial ; appearance in 24 hours more or less. Until then, take care, and ; be true to your fractals or they'll be false to you. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Not_Quite_There { ; time=0:09:20.96-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident passes=1 center-mag=-1.56188992602/-1.56422169664/5.5e+007/\ 1/-37.5/0 params=0.5/2/-0.5/-2/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=5500 inside=0 outside=tdis periodicity=10 colors=000wnuwmuwktwitvhsvfsvdrvcrvaqv`qx`nqWhkSbd\ NXZJSSFMMAGF6A925B36D46F47G57I58K68M69N79P8AR8AT9B\ U9BWACYAC_BD`BDaAFb9Hb8Jc8Kc7Md6Oe5Qe5Rf4Tf3Vg2Xh2\ Yh1_i0ai0bb3eX6hQ9jKCmDFK7IK1LKU0`cezEGAGGFIGKKFPK\ FULFULFUIIUGKUENWCPYAR_9Sa8Ud7Vg6Xj5Yl8WmBVnEUoHSp\ JRqMQrPOsSNtVMuXLvVOrUQoTSlSVhRXeQZbPaZOcWMeTLhPKj\ MJlJIoFHqCGs9Fu6It9LsBNsDQrGTrIVqKYqM`pPbpReoTgoVd\ lYai_ZfaWccU`fRYhOWjLTlIQnGNqDKsAHu7Ew5Cy9DtDEoHEj\ KFeOF`SGWVHRZHMbIHeIDYEOQBZJ8hOBiSDiWGi_IicKigNikP\ ioSisUiwWipZdja`cdXYgTRjOLmKEpG8rCCqFFpHJpJMoMQoOT\ nQXnT_mVcmXfl_jlamkcqkftjhwjjvkkulltlltmmsmmrnnqon\ qooppooppnqpnrqmrqlsrlsrhqndpk`nhYmeUkaQjZMhWJgTZf\ _meekfbig`ghYzzWzzTzzRmzPmzMmzKUnHSoFRoDTjEUeFW`FX\ WGZRG_MHaHIbCId7Je2Jb5I`7IY9HWCHUEG_7_f5gd7hc8hbAh\ `Bh_DhZEhXGhWHhVJhUKhXOj_SkaVmdZngapieqliroltqputs\ wzzzyzyxxxxvxxuwxswxqvwpv } 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
