The southern ; bay is partially cut off; the northern bay is less eroded, but ; its buds have the distinct look of being non-critical, with ; spurious arms pointing toward the mouths of the valleys. ; ; In the fractal world however, looks are sometimes deceiving. ; I found today's scene on the southern side of the extra arm ; that fills the large western bud of the north bay. ; ; The rather impressive silvery color palette is mostly serendipi- ; tous. The Fractint program should get most of the credit for ; creating the colors with one strike of the key. I did ; nothing more than tweak a few color registers. ; ; The image actually consists of half-inside, half-outside stuff. ; The inside parts have been rendered with the inside fill set to ; 'bof61'. ; ; The rating of an 8 might even be a bit of an under-estimate. ; The name "The Age of Silver" refers to the unusual coloring. ; The calculation time of 2-1/3 minutes is a far better value than ; was found in yesterday's loser. ; ; Downloading the finished 'gif' image from the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; is always a winning move however. ; ; A hot muggy day here at Fractal Central on Thursday gave ample ; warning that summer is not far off. The temperature of 84F 29C ; and humidity of 70 percent confirmed the diagnosis. The fractal ; cats must have reached the same conclusion. In the afternoon ; they switched from sleeping curled-up to sleeping stretched-out. ; ; I switched from being busy to having free time as the day ; progressed. The next FOTD will be presented to the breathless ; world within 24 hours. Until then, take care, and wait with ; anticipation. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= The_Age_of_Silver { ; time=0:02:40.38-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident passes=1 center-mag=-0.4553952426623336/+0.798314451690308/\ 2062443/1/-5/0 params=1/5/1/3/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=bof61 periodicity=10 colors=000gUOgVPgWQgXRgYSgZTg_Uf_Wf`XfaYfbZfc_fd`f\ eaffbfgcfhdfiefjgfkhflifmjfnkfolfpmfqnfrofspetrfsq\ fspfspfsofrofrnfrngrmgrlgqlgqkgqkgqjgpjgpihphhphhp\ ghoghofhofhoegqihpghoehndimbil`ik_jjYjiXjhVkgTkfSk\ fQkePldNlcLlbKmaIm`Hm_FnZDnYCnXAq`6pZ7oY8nX9mWAlVB\ kUCjTDiSEhRFgQFfPGeOHdNIcMJcKKbJLaIM`HN_GOZFOYEPXD\ QWCRVBSUATT9US8VR7WS3VR5WR6WQ7WQ8XP9XPAXOCYODYOEYN\ FZNGZMHZMI_LK_LL_KM`KN`KO`JPaJQaISaITaHUbHVbHWbGXc\ GYcF_cF`dEadEbdDceDdeDeeCgfChfBifBjgAkgAlg7lfAmgDi\ hGgiJdjMakP_lSWmVXnYUsZVp_Up`VpaWqbXqcYqd_re`rearf\ bsgcshdsietjgtkhtliumjumkunlvomvpovqpwrqwsrwtsxutx\ vvyuuxttwssvrruqqtppsoornnqmmpllokknkjmjilihkhgjgf\ ifehedgdcfcbebada`c`_b`Za_Y`ZX_YWZXVYWUXVTWUSVTRUS\ QTRPSQORQNQPMPOLONKNMJMLILKHKJGJIFIHEHGDGFCFEBDFCE\ GCEHCEHDEIDEJDEKDEKEFLEFMEFNEFNFFOFFPFFQFFQGGRGGSG\ GTGGTHGUHGVHGVHGgRLgSMgTN } 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
