I named today's evapo- ; rated image "Flowery Failure" because it just doesn't have that ; certain something that causes me to feel that 'this is a very ; good one'. And I can't say what the image lacks. It has enough ; sparkling emerald detail, and certainly enough contrast. The ; parent fractal seems promising enough, so why then could I give ; today's image a rating of only a very average 5? ; ; It must be that there have been too many similar fractals in the ; long history of the FOTD. ; ; Regardless, the parent fractal, which was created when I com- ; bined one negative part of Z^(-1.5) with 0.3 negative part of ; Z^(-3.3) and added (1/C), is one of those rambling things that ; cannot be described. basically, it consists of a series of ; circular bays and smaller sub-bays, with today's scene located ; in a skeletal valley on the southeast shoreline of a large ; eastern sub-bay. ; ; As I mentioned earlier, the image was evaporated by raising the ; escape radius to 10^50, which is not one-half of 10^100, but ; 1/(10^50)th of it. The resulting blank screen was restored to ; life by rendering the scene with the inside set to 'bof61'. ; ; Finally, the calculation time of 2-2/3 minutes may be bypassed ; by viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The weather absolutely stank here at Fractal Central on Monday. ; Heavy clouds, drizzle and a temperature of 41F 5C prevailed all ; day. The local fractal cats checked the outside conditions ; once, then decided to spend their day, as they do every day -- ; inside. ; ; My day was about as busy as expected, though I was a bit disap- ; pointed by the gaudy but somehow humdrum fractal. I'll try ; again for fractal excellence in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and if it is true that nothing is real, what just wrote ; that nothing is real? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Flowery_Failure { ; time=0:02:41.31-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+2.32327651312/-1.28247104496/2849086/1\ /-140/0 params=-1/-1.5/-0.3/-3.3/0/1e+050/0/0 float=y maxiter=2500 inside=bof61 periodicity=10 colors=000TNCUNBVNBWNBXPCYQCYRDZSDZTD_UE_VE`WF`XFa\ YF430b_G9w_OkQb`GgL8qO7gQ7qS7pU6pW6pZ6p`6ob5od5of5\ oh5ng7ng8ng9nfBnfCmfDmeFmeGmeHmdIldKldLlcMlcOlcPkb\ QkbSkbTkaUkaVjaXj`Yj`Zj``j_ai_bi_diZeiZfiZghZfgZff\ ZffZeeZz430dZdcZzbZdbZdafc`Zz_Zc_ZzZZbYZbYZaXZaWZa\ X_cWZaWZ`Wf_VZZVZYVZWUZVUZUUZTUZSTZQTfPTfOSZNSZMSZ\ KSfJRZIRZHRZGQZEQZDQZCQZBPfAPZ8PZ7OZ6OZ5OZ4OZ3P_4Q\ _5Q_5R_6R_6S_7430T_8T_9U_9V_AV_BW_BWfCX_CX_DY_EY_E\ Z_F__F__G`_H`_Ha_Ia_IbfJb_J_`KTUKWXKUULSXLQULSXNTU\ OUXPVURWXSXUTYVUYTWYTXYSYYRZYQ`YPaYObYNcYMeYLfYKgY\ MkYKiYJhYIgYGfYFeYEdODQVBaSA_Q9YN7WK6UH5SF4QE5OE6N\ E7ME8LE9KEAJEBIECHEDGEDFEEEEFDEGCEHBEIAFI9GI8HI7IJ\ 6JK5KL4LM3MN2NO1OP0PQ1QR2RS3ST4TU4UV4VW5WX5XY5Y_6Z\ `6_a6`b6ad7be7cf7dh8ei8fj8gl9hm9in9ko9mp8oq8qrAssB\ utBvuCwvDxwDyxEzyFzzFztGznHziHzbIzXJzXIqPIgPHYPHOP\ GLOGMOFNOFOOEPOEQODRNDSNC } 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
