The scowling face is ; more noticeable at some distance from the screen. The prince of ; darkness, complete with his army of imps, came into being when I ; divided Z^2 by (Z^(-1.1)+0.5) or something like that, and set ; the bailout radius to a stingy 3. ; ; The resulting parent fractal is something I'm not going to try ; to describe, though it contains a Mandelbrot set stretched in ; the vertical direction, with two large semi-main buds attached ; to the single period-2 main bud. Today's scene, which is rota- ; ted 90 degrees, is located on the X-axis just west of the M-set. ; ; I named the image "The Dark One Rises". And the only place he ; could be rising from is the fiery pit. I rated the image at a ; 7, not because I admire the evil one, but because the image is ; a fractal, and a 7 is what I think such a fractal is worth. ; ; The calculation time of 1-1/3 minutes is brief, but not too ; brief for the duke of darkness to work his mischief. But all ; calculation may be avoided by going to the FOTD web site and ; viewing the finished image there. The web site may be accessed ; at: ; ; ; ; Tenacious clouds prevented the temperature of 68F 20C from being ; perfect here at Fractal Central on Tuesday. The fractal cats ; were having a good day until Cassie caught wind of a stray cat ; that had wandered onto the front porch. When Nicholas saw her ; bristled and growling in the window, he joined her, and together ; they chased the intruder away. I rewarded their bravery with an ; extra treat of tuna. They no longer get cheddar cheese, which ; their doctor said is not too good for cats. ; ; As for my day, it was close to average. And tomorrow promises ; to be the same. Until next time, take care, and at least I did ; not rate today's image at a 6.66. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= The_Dark_One_Rises { ; time=0:01:22.54-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=DivideBrot5a passes=1 periodicity=10 center-mag=-0.587139/0/68.88/1/90/0 params=-1.1/\ 0.5/-13/0 float=y maxiter=1800 inside=0 logmap=yes colors=000KF9LE9KEALDALCALCAMBANAANAAMBIMBQOCYPCeR\ DmSDuRHrQLoPPlOTiNXfM`cLd`KhYJlVIoTMjVQeXUaZYX``Sb\ dOdhJflEhoAipBfqBcrBasBZtCWuCUvCRwCOxCM`_dEzwCzzAm\ e8_X6KO4FG70I9NKulFzhGteHwaIsZJuVKsSLuOMrLNtHMrIOp\ JPoJQmKRkKSjLThLUfMVeNWcNXaOY`OZZP_UNaYP`aQ_eR_iTZ\ mUZqVYuWYtYWs_UraSqcQpdOofMohKnjImlGlmEkoCjqAis8it\ 6ft5dt5at5_t4Yt4Vt4Tt4Rt3Ot3Mt3Kt2Ht2Ft2Dt2Fr4Gq6H\ o8InAKmCLkEMjGNhIPgKQfMRdOScQVeTTbRS`PQZNPXLOUJMSH\ LQFJODILBHJ9FH7EF5DD4EIDFNM7SQFRUNQYVPa`KfaPebTdbX\ cc`bcdadh`dl_biZagZ`dZ_bYZ`YYYYXWXWTXVRXUPWTMWSKWR\ IWSKXTLYTNZUO_UP_TPZZbRYaS7ke7ke6hg6zz6zz5zz5zz5zz\ 4zz4zz4zzAzzFzzLzzQzzVzzgzztzzrzzpzznzzlzzkzzizzgz\ zezzczzbzz`zzZzzXzzVzzUzzlzzizzfzzczz`zzYzzVzzrzzp\ zznzzlzzjzzhzzfzzezzczzazz_zzYzzWzzUzz7zzAzzCzzFzz\ HzzKzzMzzPzzRzzbzz`zz_zzYzzXzzVzzUzz8zzCzzFzzJzzMz\ zQzz5zz8zzBzzEzzHzzKzzNzz } frm:DivideBrot5a { ; Jim Muth z=0, c=pixel, a=real(p1)-2, d=real(p2)+16 b=imag(p1)+0.00000000000000000001: z=sqr(z)/(z^(-a)+b)+c |z| < d } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
