Today's ; image takes us deep into the third valley out the negative ; X-axis, located around -1.368. I think this valley is named ; Double Scepter Valley. ; ; Unlimited intricate detail characterizes the scene. In fact, ; there is actually so much small detail that it becomes overwhelm- ; ing. Some of this excess detail is due to rendering the image ; with the 'outside' set to 'summ', which works best with this ; difficult-to-color fractal. ; ; Due to the unusually large maxiter of over 3-million, all ; variations of the logmap coloring method spread the bands much ; too wide, resulting in large areas of a single flat color. And ; shutting off the logmap gives an image of near total chaos. The ; 'summ' option is far from perfect, but it is about as good as ; can be done with this image. The 'real' and 'imag' options work ; almost exactly the same ; ; I named the image "Deep Three" because it lies deep in the third ; valley out the negative X-axis. I declined to give it a rating ; because I feel that if I had really worked on the raw image, I ; could have done notably better. ; ; But I have good news! The calculation time is a sizzling 1/100 ; of one second under 3 minutes. And even better news is that the ; finished image is posted for instant gratification on the FOTD ; web site at: ; ; ; ; Partly cloudy and mild conditions prevailed here at Fractal ; Central on Monday. A high temperature of 70F 21C was very close ; to normal. The fractal cats enjoyed the sun while it was out, ; and chased each other around F.C. when it was not. ; ; In my department, the work was finished on schedule, leaving the ; remainder of the afternoon free for a fractal search. The next ; FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be a ; big-time thinker. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Deep_Three { ; time=0:02:59.99-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 float=y center-mag=-1.368099862408421/+0.000169327019037/\ 7.392152e+009/1/-74/0 params=0/0 maxiter=3200000 bailout=9 inside=0 outside=summ periodicity=10 colors=00090zB0yC0uE0sG0qH0oH0kJ0iK0gN1dP3bQ4`S6ZS\ 7WU9UWBSXCPZEN`GKbHJbKGdNEfPCgQBiS7kU6mW4mX1oZ0q`0\ sb0ud0wf0yg0yi0zk0zm0zo0zq0zs0zu0zy0zw0zu0zu0zs0zs\ 0zq0zo0zo0zm0zm0zk0zk0zi0zg0zg0zf0zf0zd0zd0zb0z`0z\ `0zZ0zZ0zX0zX0zW0zU0yU0yS0yS0yQ0wQ0wP0wN0wN0wK0uK0\ uJ1uJ1uH3uG3sG4sE4sE6sC6uE4sC6sC6qC7qC7oC9oB9mBBmB\ BkBBkBCiBCi9Eg9Eg9Gf9Gf9Hd9Hd7Hb7Jb7J`7K`7KZ7NZ6NX\ 6NX6PW6PW6QU6QU4SS4SS4UQ4UQ4UP4WP3WN3XN3XK3ZK3ZK3Z\ P0SS0NW0GZ0Bb04f00i00m00q00w00u00s00s00q00q00o00m0\ 0m00k00k00i00g00g00f00f01d03b04b06`07`09Z0CX0EX1GW\ 1HW3JU4KQ6QS4PU4NW3NX3KZ1K`1Jb0Hd0Hf0Gg0Gi0Ek0Cm0C\ o0Bq5BsA9uF7wK7yP6zU6zU4zU3zU4zU6zU7zU9zU9zUBzKCzA\ Ez4Ez6Gz7Hz9JzBJzCKzENzGPzHPzKQzNSzPUzQWzSWzUXzWZz\ X`z``zbbzddzffzgfzigzkizmkzokumgmmffkdZkbUi`NiZGgX\ 9gW3fU0dW0fU0fS0gS1gQ1iQ3iP4kP6kN7kN7mK9mKBoJCoJEq\ HEqHGsGHsGJsEKuEKuCNwCPwB } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
