The late return ; left no time for a totally new FOTD image, but, going into the ; vast FOTD library of images, I found an image from April 1998, ; the 19th of April to be exact, and made a new version of it. ; The original image was named "Wackyland". I re-cropped and ; re-colored the original image and named it "Son of Wackyland". ; ; Perhaps the most striking thing about the image is its strange ; resemblance to a scene on an alien planet. Examining the scene, ; I see a rock-strewn desert with alien cacti dotting the rim of ; the regolith dune. Others may see far more fantastic things. ; ; The generating formula is the MandNewt12, a formula I have not ; used for many years. Like so many of my old formulas, I have ; forgotten what it was originally supposed to do, but it makes ; interesting images regardless. The formula will probably be a ; new one for all but the most ancient FOTD old-timers. ; ; Since today's image is a second effort, I could give it no ; rating, though in my opinion it shows about a one-point ; improvement over the original version. The original version ; has no rating. ; ; The calculation time of 20 seconds is not faster than light, but ; it is still faster than a speeding bullet. And for even more ; happiness, the finished image is posted on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Bright sun and a temperature of 37F 3C made Sunday a perfectly ; average day here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats must have ; enjoyed the sun to the maximum while we were away, for they were ; waiting in the window when we returned just after dark. My day ; was pleasant enough despite the antiquing expedition. The next ; FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care and live ; life in a wonderland. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Son_of_Wackyland { ; time=0:00:20.75-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=1960 type=formula formulafile=basic.frm formulaname=MandNewt12 center-mag=+1.4989355/-0.04\ 00645/91/1/-105/0 params=-2.06/4.81/-3.31/-0.91/1/1 float=y maxiter=95 inside=bof61 logmap=yes periodicity=0 colors=000ThzThzThzThzQhzThzThzThzThzThzTczTczTczT\ czTczTazT`zT_zTZuTYtTXtTWtTVtTUtTTtSSsSSrSSqRRoRRn\ QQmQQkPQj3NiQJ0OMfNUea4VMNbMNaMN`LMZLMYKLXKLVJLUJK\ TIKRIJQHJPHJNGIMGILFHJFHIFGGKJFPMEUPDZSCcVBcYAc`9h\ c8mc7rc6vc5zc4wc3wc5wc7wc9zhBzmDzmEzmGzmIzmKzmMmZO\ ZYQYWSXVUWTWVSYUQ_TPaUI0UK0UK0UK0UA0UK0N_0P`0Ra0Tb\ 0Q5pQ4sR3uR2xS7rUBmVGgWKbXPXZTR_YM`aGbfAbdCcbFc`Id\ ZKeWNeUQfSTgQVhOYhM`iJcjHejFhkDkkFkjGjjIjjJiiLiiMh\ iOhiQghRghTfhUfgWegXegZdf_dface_ccYcbWc`Uc_ScZQcXO\ cWMdUKdTIdSGdQEdPCdNAdM8dK6eL6eO5dR4cU4bX3a_2``7ba\ CdbHfbLhcQjdVle_nfamgclgejhfiihhjjgjlekndlpcmqbms`\ nu_oqapncqjerggrcis_ktXmuTolVjdXeWY_O_VFaQFaPFaPFa\ OEaNEaNEaMEaLEaKEaKEaJEaIDaIDaHDaGDaGDaFDaEDaDCaDC\ aCCaBCaBCaACa9Ca9Ca8Ba7Ba6Ba6Ba5Aa4Ca7FaBHaEKaIMaL\ PaPSaSUaWXbZZbbabedbifblibpkbsnbwnbunbtncrncpncnnc\ modkodiodhodfoddoeboeaoe_ } frm:MandNewt12 {; Jim Muth z=g=pixel, a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), c=real(p2), d=imag(p2), e=real(p3), f=imag(p3): h=z^a+(g-1)*(z-b) j=c*z^d+g z=z-e*h/(f*j), .0000000000000000000000000000005 <= |h| } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
