The rating of 'spooky' pretty ; accurately describes the hypernatural things going on in the ; image. ; ; The parent fractal is a grossly oversized Mandelbrot set with ; quadratic characteristics on the surface and quintic characteris- ; tics in its depths. Today's scene is located in an elephant ; trunk in a larger elephant trunk in the East Valley of the large ; midget on the main spike of the parent. ; ; The minibrot at the center of today's image is purely quintic, ; but the surrounding pattern is not. It has been caught in the ; act of changing from quadratic to quintic. Surprisingly, the ; resulting numerical chaos is totally free of discontinuities. ; ; The calculation time in the parameter file is 1/4 of the time it ; actually took to calculate the image on the old 200mhz unit. ; The 2000mhz unit is still out of action. ; ; The fastest way to fractal ecstasy is to go to the FOTD web site ; at: ; ; ; ; and view the already-calculated image there. ; ; Gorgeous Halloween weather prevailed here at Fractal Central on ; Thursday, which is a bit strange, since Halloween comes on ; Friday. Regardless, the fractal cats kept the ghouls, witches, ; and all the other various goblins, well under control. The work ; was well under control also. ; ; If all goes as planned, the first fractal of the new month will ; be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and some fractals ; are hauntingly beautiful. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Trick_or_Fractal { ; time=0:06:01.08-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=DivideBrot5 passes=1 periodicity=10 center-mag=-174.9609778835375/-0.0095685074016842/\ 1.66389e+010/1/-115/0 params=5/100 float=y inside=0 maxiter=3600 logmap=-744 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000FU_IUZLUYOUXRUWUUVXUU_UVbUWeUXgUYiUZkU_l\ T`mSalRbkQcjPdiOehMegKefIceG`eEZdDWcCUbBRbEQaHPaKP\ _LLYPIWUFU_CSf9Qo6Xv3Tr3Pl3Lf3Ha3DW39Q35K32F3MGLgE\ hdGjbKcbJhfIkiHlmHsrGuuFvxEywEtuCpqBlmAhi9de8`a7XY\ 6TWHMUINSKORLPQOQTRSWUUZXWa_Yeb_ieamhckiekj`jkWjlR\ imMmoJqoFkmHdfJY_LSTNOOGHIKUnfjocopazpZoqXHrUFrSCs\ PAsN9qP8sw8zz7mT7lV6kW6iY5hZzgzmez3dc3cd2af2`g1_i1\ Zj1bd1f_1jV1nQ1qL4rO6rQ8rSArUDsWFsYHs_JsaLscSiWZ_P\ dRHkHAq83mD7iIAeNDaSGYWJU`NQeQMjTIoWEsZImdMgiQbnUX\ sXSxPM8PLGPLOPKWPKbPJjPJrPJyRHwSGvTFuUEsVDrWCqYBoZ\ Anc9mh8km7jr6iv5hz5qzAyzFuzKqzPmzUizZezcazhYzmUzrQ\ zvRzzRzzRzzRzzRzzRzzRzzSzzSzzSzzSzzSzzSzzSzzSzzRzz\ PzzNzzNzzMzzLzzKzzKzzJzzIzzHzzHQzzVzz_zzdzzmzzizzf\ zzczz`zzazzbzzbzzZzzWzzSzzPzzJzzMzzRzzPzzOzzNzzLzz\ KzzAzzFzzJzzOzzOzzSzzWzz_zzbzddzfezgfzigzjhzkizmjz\ nEzxkzofzmazkXziTzhOzfJzd } frm:DivideBrot5 { ; Jim Muth z=0, c=pixel, a=real(p1)-2, b=imag(p1)+0.00000000000000000001: z=sqr(z)/(z^(-a)+b)+c |z| < 1000000 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
