The parent fractal was created by a ; formula very much like the MandelbrotMix4, the MandelbrotMix3. ; This formula mixes four parts of Z instead of the two parts of ; the MandelbrotMix4 formula. One big drawback is that a critical ; point of the entered expression must be calculated by hand ; (which ain't no fun) and entered as the real(p5) parameter. In ; today's case I calculated 1.0037...etc. and entered it manually. ; ; The parent fractal of today's image resulted when I combined ; various portions of Z^(+1.8), Z^(-0.8), plain (Z) and Z^(+0.8), ; and then added (1/C). This combination produces a fractal with ; its open part shaped somewhat like a pair of angel wings filled ; with a mass of chaotic material. A rough Mandeloid shape fills ; most of this chaos, though today's scene is located at the ; southern edge of the open area. ; ; A good part of the image consists of inside stuff made visible ; by the 'bof60' inside fill. The inside stuff makes up the ; smoother areas of the image. The irregular shaped patches are ; outside stuff rendered in the normal 'iter' manner. ; ; When the time came to rate the image, I studied the image for ; quite a while, at least 3 minutes, before deciding on a rating ; of a lofty 9. I kind of enjoy the purples that tint a good bit ; of the 'outside' parts of the image. The three-dimensional ; effect is also rather striking. ; ; The calculation time of 5 minutes is a bit slow, so to kill all ; possibility of impatience, I suggest viewing the finished image ; on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The increasing clouds and temperature of 39F 4C kept the fractal ; cats happy here at Fractal Central on Sunday. The forecast of ; snow tonight did not worry them. My day was pleasant enough. ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and when we fight the forces of evil, who decides what is ; good and what is evil? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Blues_in_the_Night { ; time=0:05:04.64-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=dec-02.par formulaname=MandelbrotMix3 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-0.34313191980537870/-0.226238684265287\ 00/2.78678e+008/1/-50/0 params=0.4/1.8/2/-0.8/-1/\ 1/2/0.8/1.1003729163945/0 float=y maxiter=1800 inside=bof60 periodicity=10 colors=000RnBMsDIwEQ2HP2IP2JP2JO2KO2KO2LO2LN2MN2MN\ 2NN2NM2Oorznqzmpzlozkmzjkziizhgwgetfdqecndbkcahb`e\ a_c`Za_X_ZWYYUWXSUVQSTOQRMOOKMLIKIGI000MJEMMCMPAMS\ 8MV7MW8MY9M_9NaANcANeBNfCNhCNjDNlDNnENoEPkHQgKScMT\ _PVWRWSUXPWWT`WWdW_iWbmWfrWivWlzSjyPhxMgwJevh`vgZu\ fXteVsdTscRqaQo_PmYOkWNiULhSKfQJdOIbMH`LH_KGYLGWMK\ UONSPOQQPPRQNTRLUSJVTHWUGZWIcYKh_LmaNrcOveQzgSziTz\ kVzlWzn`oodlqihrmetrbuv_vzYtxXsvVrtUpsToqRnoQlmPkl\ NjjMihLgfJfeIecHcaFb_EaZD_XBZVAYT9XSCVREURGSRIRQKQ\ QMOQONQRLPTKPVJPXHOZGO`FObDOeCNgANi9Nk8Mm6Mo5Mq4Mq\ 6Lq7Kq8Kq9JqBIqCIqDHqEGqFGqHFqIEqJEqKDqLCqNCqOBqPA\ qQAqR9qT8qU8qV7qW6qX6pZ5o_5n`4ma4mb3lc3kd2je2jf2lg\ 4ng6pg7rg9shBuhCwhEyhGzhHyfGxdGwcGwaGv`GuZFtYFtWFs\ VFrTFrSFpRKoROmQTlQXjP`iPegOifOmdNrcNvbNzdInfDbh8R\ i4Fj5Jj6Mk7Qk7Tl8Xl9_m9cmAfnBjnBmoCqoDtoDwqGtrJqtL\ ouOlwQjxTgnQ3iV5d_6`d8WiA } frm:MandelbrotMix3 {; Jim Muth z=p5, c=fn1(pixel), a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=real(p3), h=imag(p3), j=real(p4), k=imag(p4): z=(a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f))+(g*(z^h))+(j*(z^k))+c, |z| <= 100 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
