Though ; today's image is a blow-up of a small part of the lower left ; corner of yesterday's, it has none of the hellish malevolence. ; Instead of the fiery devilish effect, we have a peaceful almost ; heavenly effect, consisting almost entirely of various shades of ; blue. I can see no saints or angels in the scene, but who knows ; what we might find if we were to dig deep enough. ; ; Today's image is so different mostly because I evaporated the ; scene by raising the bailout radius to 1000 and rendered the ; resulting 'inside' stuff with the inside set to 'atan'. The ; result is an image that could almost have been taken through the ; space telescope. It is filled with stars and wispy fractal ; nebulae, with a few spirals thrown in to remind us that this is ; the virtual world of numbers, not the presumedly real world of ; the outer universe. ; ; I named the image "Beyond the Unknown". After all, this rather ; accurately describes most fractals. The rating of an 8 may seem ; liberal to some fractalists; to me it seems just about right. ; The calculation time of 4-1/4 minutes actually grows longer if ; any of the short-cut algorithms such as passes=g or passes=t are ; used. I guess the algorithms use too much time figuring what to ; do next and too little time calculating. ; ; But all these minor problems may be bypassed by viewing the ; finished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; A foggy morning gave way to a sunny afternoon here at Fractal ; Central on Wednesday. The temperature of 75F 24C was just what ; the fractal cats ordered. In my department things were notably ; un-notable. Just to keep things un-notable, the next FOTD will ; be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and walk with ; N. Lightenment, whoever or whatever he is. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Beyond_the_Unknown { ; time=0:04:14.80-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=DivideBrot5a passes=1 center-mag=-0.60128109/+0.01548312/232.74/1/-137.5\ /0 params=-1.1/0.5/1000/0 float=y maxiter=650 inside=atan periodicity=10 colors=000bZutZzuQzuHwv8sv0po6mhCkaHigPdmW`sbXzzzI\ 6pHBrGFtFJuERmDYeCdYBlQAsI000IraRjzWkt_kldlehlYllR\ niQogPpdOqbNtgOhlKXpGLuCAy9EvCHsEKqHNnJQkMTiOWfRZc\ TaaWdZYgW`jUbpcYumUZciDUxGVsJWoMXkPYgSZcVZZY_V``Rc\ aNfbJibFffSdjcano_rzYnvXkqVglUdgTabRYYQVTPSOS9rQFm\ OKiMQdKV`I_WGeSEjNCoJEoNFoQHoTIoWJoZPlRUiJRdPO_VLW\ `IRfFNlCXe9fZ6pS4yL8sICnGFiEJdCM_AHYKDWU9Uc5Sl9LpC\ FtF8xI2zG4vF6qD8lCAgACb9EYGBbM9fS7jZ5nd3rj1ve0wa0w\ Y0wOJs6VHBSIGQIKOIPMITKIYIIaGIc4ygXgjyRbsSVnSOiSGd\ T8_T1VTMZVebXyeYxhZxk_wn`vq`us`tv`sx`nq_ij_dc__X_V\ QZQJZLCZH5ZLA_OE`RJaVNbYSc`WcfMhlCmr3qn9pjFpfLpbRp\ ZXpWbpRf_MjKSp`Yupczz`zzYzzVzzrzzpzznzzlzzjzzhzzfz\ zezzczzazz_zzYzzWzzUzz7zzAzzCzzFzzHzzKzzMzzPzzRzzb\ zz`zz_zzYzzXzzVzzUzz8zzCzzFzzJzzMzzQzz5zz8zzBzzEzz\ HzzKzzNzz7F08E09E0AD0CC0DC0EB0EA5GAAIBKKBWOCcP0cRD\ sUUz006000PPrOTo1P_000ccz } 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
