I was sure I ; had heard it long before but had forgotten where. Then quite a ; few years later, I heard the same sound on a record of unusual ; sound effects, with the note that the sound reminds most people ; of something very familiar from the distant past, but long ago ; forgotten. We'll file the nature of this haunting sound as ; mystery of life number 13,702. ; ; Today's fractal is not nearly as mysterious. It is a scene in ; the parent fractal that results when 4.5 negative parts of ; Z^(-1.05) are combined with 0.8 negative parts of Z^(-8.8) and ; (1/C) is added. ; ; This parent fractal is a grossly inflated thing requiring ; several outzooms to fit onto the screen, and featuring an ; incredible feather-like 'fan' attached to an even larger ; circular bay. Today's scene skips the 'fan', and is found ; instead at the end of a filament extending from a bud on the ; shore of the circular bay, and terminating in a scalloped ring. ; ; I named the image "Celestial Festival", not that there's ; anything particularly heavenly about it. Then I rated it at a ; 7, which is not at all a bad rating. ; ; With a running time of 31 seconds, the included parameter file ; will bring the agony of impatience to no one. ; ; The finished image is or soon will be posted to the FOTD web ; site at: ; ; ; ; Partly cloudy and mild weather prevailed here at Fractal Central ; on Thursday, with a high temperature of 72F 22C. The fractal ; cats greeted the periods of sunshine with enthusiasm. My day ; slowed down as the day progressed, but there was still a bit of ; hastiness when FOTD time arrived. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and when the world turns against you, open a gift shop ; selling candles, teddy bears, and pseudo-country items with feel- ; good slogans on them. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Celestial_Festival { ; time=0:00:31.15-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip center-mag=-3.777300433225537/-0.4621972219516149/\ 1.218883e+009/1/-80/0 params=-4.5/-1.05/-0.8/-8.8/\ 0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1100 inside=0 logmap=86 periodicity=10 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000FSQAOKBOKBNKBNKBMKBMKBLKBLKBKKBKLBKLBKMB\ KMBLNBKNBJJBJLBIKBHJBGJBEIBCHBAGB8GDCJFGMGJPINSKQU\ LUXNY_P`bQdeSggUkjVomXrpZvs_yuaxscwqevpgunhuljtkls\ inrgorfnpdnobnnamm_mlZmkXmjWlhUlgTlfRkeQkdOkcNkbLj\ `Kj_IjZHiYFiXEiWCiVBkSClQDmOEnLEpJFnHGoEGiCHkAIf7I\ g5Jb3Kc1KiEVUQeFazH`zJ_zLZzMYzOYzQXvRWrTVpVUpWUpXS\ nXRmXPkXOjXMhYLgYJeYIdYGbYFaZE`ZCZZBYZ9WZ8V_6T_5S_\ 3Q_2P_1Oc`AhfEmkHrpLvuOzzRzyQzyPzyPzyOzxNzxNzxMzxM\ zxLzwKzwKzwJzwJJvIKvHLvHMvGNvGOuFPuEQuERuDSuDQtHOt\ KMsOKsRIrVGrYEr`CqdAqg8pk6pn4or2ou1ox2mu3ls4kq5jo6\ il7hj8gh9ff9ed8ac8Yc8Ub8Qb7Mb7Ia7Ea7Aa8Cb9EcAGcBId\ CKeDMeEOfFQgGRgHThIViJXiKZjL`kMbkNhlOmmPrmRviSzeTz\ bUzZVzWWzSzzPzzLzzIzzEzzBzzEzzHTzKRzNPzQMzTKzWIzZF\ zaDzdzzfzzdzzczzazz`zzZzzYzzWYzV`zUczSezRhzPkzOnzM\ qzLszKozJkzIgzIczH`zHXzGTzGPzFMzFLzEKzDJzCIzBIzAHz\ 9Gz8Fz7Fz7Gz9GzAWzDQz8KzH } 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
