From out of the past come the ; thundering convolutions of the great fractal Mandelbrot. The ; Lone Mandelbrot rides again. Return with us now to those thril- ; ling days of yesteryear . . . Well, I had to say something to ; stir up a little excitement. ; ; Today's image is indeed a flashback to the past, even if only ; an under-iteratered scene deep in Seahorse Valley of the all-too- ; familiar Mandelbrot set. And this is why I named it "Deep Sea- ; horse Scene". I gave it no rating because these kinds of images ; were one of the first things I was producing in those ancient ; days when I was a young tyro fractalist. (Now I'm an old tyro ; fractalist.) ; ; The one thing that keeps the image from being totally hackneyed ; is its magnitude of 2.4x(10^14), which lies just beyond the ; range of conventional math. The resulting calculation time of ; almost 48 minutes begs impatience, but a quick though blurred ; preview of the scene may be viewed in 7 seconds (less than 1/300 ; the ap time) by switching to conventional math with the command ; mathtolerance=0.05/1 ; ; But all this math-switching and resulting impatience may be ; avoided by viewing the finished image posted in full arbitrary- ; precision definition on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Morning clouds gave way to afternoon sun on Friday here at ; Fractal Central, while the temperature dropped to a far more ; seasonable high of 59F 15C. The fractal cats enjoyed the ; afternoon sun that they missed yesterday. My day was average. ; ; Most likely but not certainly, the next FOTD will appear in 24 ; hours. Until then, take care and have fun at the same time. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= DeepSeahorseScene { ; time=0:47:56.28-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 periodicity=10 center-mag=-0.7485177858185152687/0.05757462599937\ 39027/2.4e+014/1/25/0 params=0/0 float=y bailout=9 maxiter=8000 inside=0 logmap=1725 mathtolerance=/0 colors=000USFUSEUTCUUBUUAUV9UUBUUDUUFUUHUUIUTKUTMW\ TOYTP_TRaTTdSVfSWhSYjS_lSanSbmP_lNXkKVjISiFQhDNgBL\ hCKhDJhEIiFHiGHiHGjIFjJEjKDkLDkMCkNBlOAlP9lQ9mR8mS\ 7mT6mT6kR5jQ5hO5gN5fM5dK5cJ5aH5`G5_F5YD5XC5WB5XC6X\ D7XD8YE8YF9YFAZGBZHBZHC_ID_ID_JE_KF`KG`LG`MHaMIaNI\ aNJbOKbPLbPLbQMcRNcRNcSOdTPdTQdUQeUReVSeWSfWTfXUfY\ VfYVgZWgZXg_Xh`Yh`Zha_ib_ib`icaicahd`hd`hd_ge_geZg\ eZfeZffYffYefXefXegXdgWdgWdgVchVchUchUbhUbiTbiTaiS\ aiSajS`jR`jRakQbkQckQdkPelPflOglOhlNimNkmNmmMmmMmn\ LjnLgnLdnKaoKZoJWoJVoJXpKYpL_qM`qNbrOcrPdrQYqXSpcL\ ojFnq9mz8hz7ez6bz6Zz5Ur4Qm3Mh3Jc6KZ9TKCWLFZLI`MLZM\ NWMMVLMSLMOKMMKMKKMJJMJhMIhMHhMGhMFIMEHMEHLDHLCGLB\ GLAGL9FL8FL8Fw7ELcUw5ELcUw3DLcUN8COCCPHBRKCSKETKGV\ KIWKKXKMZKO_KQ`KUaKZbKccKccKcdKfeKieKlfKogKrhKuhJw\ iFxkCym9zmAzmDzmHzmLzmPzmUzmZzmZzmZzmZzmZzmZzmZzmZ\ zmZzmZzmZzmZzmZzmZzmZzmZz } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
