The formula is so new that I ; have little idea what it does or how it works. ; ; Today's particular parameters create a parent fractal that ; resembles a Mandelbrot set with two main bays. But even though ; the parent resembles the M-set, the minibrots in it are quartic. ; And though today's image is located in what appears to be ; Seahorse Valley of the parent fractal, the elements in the image ; more closely resemble those of an East Valley. ; ; Since I have very little idea of what the formula can do, I had ; no idea how to rate the image. The name I gave it -- "Quartic ; Minibrot" -- is nothing more than a description. ; ; This formula appears to get more out of a quartic fractal than ; the simple formula Z^4+C. Hopefully it will do the same for ; some of the higher order fractals. I'll work with the new ; formula for a day or so before deciding whether to consign it to ; the storage bin. If anything of unusual interest turns up, I'll ; post it as a FOTD. ; ; Today's image is rather slow, taking almost 9 minutes to finish ; on the fastest machine. Any budding impatience may be nipped by ; visiting the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and viewing the completed image there. ; ; The weather was good enough here at Fractal Central on Sunday, ; with sunny skies and a temperature of 84F 29C. The clouds that ; moved in at 5pm and the light thunder-shower than followed ; arrived too late to spoil the day. The fractal cats spent most ; of the day watching for squirrels and passing tomcats. ; ; My day was appropriately lazy, and if I have my way, tomorrow ; will be the same. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until ; then, take care, and if it doesn't make good sense, question it. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Quartic_Minibrot { ; time=0:08:58.05-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=DivideBrot2 passes=1 inside=0 center-mag=-1.045188369333446/+0.03206533434293096\ /1.098195e+012/1/82/0 params=2/-2/1/0 float=y maxiter=15000 periodicity=10 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000YmXXhUWdRV_OUWLSRIRNFQICPE9O96N53M10O32P\ 44Q56R68T8AU9CVAEWBGYDIZEK_FM`GNZFOYEPXDPWCQUBRTAR\ S9SR8TQ7TO6UN5VM4VL3WK3WQDUVMT`WSedQknPpwOltTirYfp\ bbmg_klXipVfmTdjRagP_dNXbLV_JSXHQUFNRDLPBIM9GJ7DG5\ BD39B88GD7LH6PM6UR5YV4b_3fd3kh2om1tq1xq2Zq39o5Dn6G\ m8Kk9NjBRiCUgDXfF`eGccIgbJjaKm`Mk_OjZQiYShXUgWWfVY\ eU_dTacSbbOcaKc`Gc_CdZ8dY5dX6IRBNSGRTLVTP_UUcUZgVb\ lWgpWltXpxXjpUeiS_aPVVNPNKKGIE8F91DB6JDBOFGTHLYJQc\ LVhN_mPdrRhwTdqU`kVXeWT`YPVZLP_HJ`DEeGMjIUoKatMiyO\ qSvqOmgLeYIYOFQECI4FH8HHCJHFLGJNGMPGQSFTUFXWF_YEc_\ EfaEjcEm`FlZFkXGjVGjTHiRHhPIgNIgKJfIJeGKdEKdCLcALb\ 8Ma6MaTVgSThSRhSQhSOhSNhSLhSKhRIhRGhRFhRDhRChRAhR9\ hU8gW7gZ6f`6fc5ee4eh4dj3dm2co2cdWaVx_YwX_vVauSctQf\ tNhsLjrIlqGnpDqpBso8un6wm3ym1xj4xg6wd8waAvZCvXFuUH\ uRJuOLtLNtJQsGSsDUrAWr7Yr5_s4Ys4Ws3Us3Ts3Rs2Ps2Os1\ Ms1Ks1Jq2ICqb9sdNuc`vcZq_ } frm:DivideBrot2 { ; Jim Muth z=0, c=pixel, aa=real(p1), bb=imag(p1), dd=real(p2), ff=imag(p2)+64: z=z^aa/(z^bb+dd)+c |z| <= ff } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
