The ; day was long, but despite the journey and late return, the ; hastily found fractal turned out to be an unusually attractive ; one, (at least in my opinion). ; ; The parent fractal is a shapeless thing created by combining ; various negative portions of Z^(-1.1) and Z^(-5.9). This parent ; fractal has a very large and prominent 'fan'. Today's image is ; located on the northwest edge of this fan. ; ; I named the image "Ring of Snowflakes" because it reminds me of ; a snowflake. I rated it at an 8 because I think it's pretty ; good. And the calculation time of under 2 minutes is brief ; enough to make running the included parameter file almost fun. ; ; As always, those who don't like fun may see the finished image ; on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; But before checking the web site, give Paul a chance to ; calculate and post it. ; ; Sunny skies and a temperature of 25F -4C made for a chilly ; midwinter day here at Fractal Central on Saturday. The fractal ; cats enjoyed the conditions alone. Most of my day was occupied ; elsewhere. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours, but this ; is a probability not a promise. Until then, take care, and even ; if it's not real, who will know the difference? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Ring_of_Snowflakes { ; time=0:01:50.08-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basic.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip center-mag=+1.160595246192642/+1.639648996209331/\ 1.410313e+009/1/42.5/0 params=-3.5/-1.1/-0.8/-5.9/\ 0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1000 inside=bof61 logmap=64 periodicity=10 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000CPhCYRDLJD8CC0FBJHAKJAUL9KN8cP8QRL`PXTOh\ LMtDLzaGxgBqbDjcFcbGWXLPRQOQRNPTNOUFAKMMWLAKLKZKJK\ zzzzzzwvuuuttssrrsqprooqnmpllokjoiinhgmffledkcckba\ j``i_ZhYYgXBMVVfUTeSSdRQcPPcONbMMaLK``_EYXIWVLTSOR\ QSONVMLYZo1Ym3Xl4Xk6Wi7Wh9VgAUeCUdDTcEOx`04bF9hUEn\ hJtvOznQsgRl`TeUUZNWSGXLHTIHQGHNEIKCIHAIE8FEECEK9E\ PV_Gpu7y7SqhwTdY5`8JhMWpZYkYZfX_aX`XWaSVbNVcIUdEU`\ CWYAYV9_S7aP5cM4dd`EdcFeeGfgHfjIglJqs9gnJZjSQeaHaj\ 8YsLZlY_fpWei_`bcXWgTPkOIoKBsG4vC5mM5eV9dZCcbFbfJb\ jManP`rAbzS`uhZpyXkGnLQnJZnIhnGqnFznEwjFtfGqbHnZIo\ TIlVJjXJhZKf`KcbLadL_fMxbOYgM8lG7lKzlz5lzzhz5lzzzz\ 6zzzzzIzzzzzUzzzzzQzzzzzMzzzzzzzzzzCzzEzzFzzHzzIzz\ JzzLzzMzzJzzNzzRzzVzzZzzbzzfzzjzzmzznzznzznzznzznz\ znzznzzNzznzz`zzOzz0zzBzzLzzVczdcznuzDrzAoz7lz5az_\ bzVczRdzN_zLVzJRzHMzFrzMIzEKzFMzFOzGQzGQzCRzGRzKSz\ OSzSTzWTz_UzcUzgTzfAzjBze } frm:MandAutoCritInZ {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=1/f, h=1/d, j=1/(f-b), z=(((-a*b*g*h)^j)+(p4)), k=real(p3)+1, l=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < l } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
