The ; old image is named "Europa". It is an imaginary scene on the ; icy moon of Jupiter, which appeared on June 21, 1997. I did ; little to the original image other than intensify the colors and ; rotate it an infinitesimal bit. ; ; The result is a fractal that strikingly resembles a photograph ; of an icy but peaceful seacoast in the light of a full moon. I ; named the new version of the original image "Mystic_Moonlight". ; One glance of the image will explain the name. ; ; I wrote the formula, Man-YZ-XZ, when I was experimenting with ; rotating images in the 4-D Julibrot figure. Looking at the ; formula today, I'm not sure how it was supposed to work. ; ; I rated today's image at a 9. I could have been more conserva- ; tive with the rating, but just because my politics tend to the ; conservative side doesn't mean I can't be liberal with my FOTD ; ratings on occasion. ; ; The calculation time of 66 seconds will pass like nothing. The ; trip out to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; to stare in awe and wonder at the finished image posted there, ; will not only avoid all unpleasantness, but will bring instant ; fulfillment. ; ; Tuesday was a nondescript day here at Fractal Central, both with ; the weather and the fractal cats. Sunny skies and a temperature ; of 39F 4C kept the cats in and out of their favorite window. At ; one point a squirrel leaped onto the opposite window sill, but ; scampered away before the sleeping cats were aware of it. ; ; My day was average. The work was finished early in the after- ; noon, which left plenty of time to work on the colors of today's ; fractal. The next in the unending series of FOTD's will be ; posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and if it leads to ; madness when we wonder what lies behind our sensory images of ; the 'outer' world, this probably explains how I could keep the ; FOTD going for almost 12 years -- I must be mad! ; ; P.S. My current re-working of old images does not mean I will ; stop posting new images. I am simply tweaking a few of my older ; images that I have long thought need improvement. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Mystic_Moonlight { ; time=0:01:06.74-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=1960 type=formula formulafile=jim.frm formulaname=Man-YZ-XZ passes=1 periodicity=10 center-mag=-0.00000686598512544/-1.845082873438826\ 00/8.246947e+010/-5.121e-005/359.99905692/-89.9990\ 597420641762 params=0/0/1/0 float=y maxiter=5000 inside=255 logmap=yes colors=00008z08z06z06z06z04z04z04z02z02z00x00v00q0\ 0n00k00i00g00e00b00Y00X00U00S00Q00O00M00H00F00D00B\ 00900800600400000020020020000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 000000000000000200200400600600800800900900B00D00D0\ 0F00F00H00K00K00M00M00O00O00Q00S00S00U00U00X00Y00Y\ 00`00`00b00b00e00g00g00i02i02kU4n04n04qU6qU6sV6sW8\ vX9xXDzYUzZUzdZzgazk`v`WvXQiT0kB0g00`00`00X00e98i9\ 0qBMzBMzBMzBOzDQz0YzFSzFSzFSzHUzHUzHUzKXzKXzMYzMYz\ MYzO`zO`zQbzQbzQbzO`zO`zO`zM`zKzzrzzuzzzzzuzzzzzrz\ zzzzzzzuzzHAzFAzFAzFAzFAzDAzD`zDAzDAzBAzBAzBAzBAz9\ Az9Az9Az9Az8Az8Az8Az8Kz6Az6Az6Qz6Az4Oz4Kz4Kz4Oz2Oz\ 2Mz2Mz2Mz0Mz0Mz0Mz0Mz0Kz0Kz0Kz0Kz0Kz0Kz0Kz0Hz0Hz0H\ z0Hz0Hz0Hz0Hz0Fz0Sz0Uz6Az } frm:Man-YZ-XZ {; primitive effort at rotation ; p2 = 0 = Julibrot YZ plane ; p2 = 1 = Julibrot XZ plane ; p2 = >0 <1 = Oblique planes z=real(pixel)+flip(real(p1)), c=imag(pixel)+flip(imag(p1)), a=p2, b=flip(cos(asin(p2))): z=sqr(z)+((a+b)*c), |z| <= 25 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
