I certainly ; don't know. One thing I do know is that the image consists ; entirely of 'inside' stuff brought to life by the 'bof60' active ; inside fill, which colors the points according to how close they ; come to the origin in their wanderings. ; ; The Mystic2 formula draws nothing but blank circles of radius 1. ; All the action comes from the trapped areas inside the circles. ; As today's image shows, the things that might be done with the ; areas inside the circles are endless. ; ; The image reminds me of the cover of a cheap "terror" novel so I ; named it "Abyss of Destruction", a name that might be given to ; such a story. I gave no rating because I consider it unworthy ; of one. ; ; The image is sensitive to the values of the parameters, particu- ; larly both parts of the p3 parameter. The fast speed of the ; image makes experimentation very easy. Changing the function ; totally changes the image, as does changing the inside fill. So ; actually, an entire range of images are waiting to be made ; manifest by tweaking these parameters. ; ; The calculation time is only 25 seconds on my P4-2000mhz unit, a ; time that will bring satisfaction to those, if any, who might be ; disappointed by the result. ; ; Of course, calculation may be entirely avoided by viewing the ; finished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; A partly cloudy springlike day with a temperature of 75F 24C ; when I left Old Fractal Central at 1:00pm on Sunday turned into ; a raw overcast drizzly day with a temperature of 48F 9C by the ; time I reached New Fractal Central at 4:30pm. The new fractal ; cats greeted me when I arrived, caught a scent of Thomas, the ; old fractal cat, and asked what I had been doing for the past 32 ; hours. I answered their question with a double treat of tuna ; and cheddar cheese. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in about 12 hours. Until then, ; take care, and let me know when the world ends. I don't want to ; miss it. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= AbyssOfDestruction { ; time=0:00:25.45-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=1960 type=formula formulafile=jim.frm formulaname=Mystic2 function=cotan passes=1 center-mag=0.0541584/-0.60902/5.821744 logmap=yes params=-0.065/-5.122/6.003/-6.845/5.664/0.303 float=y maxiter=300 inside=bof60 periodicity=10 colors=000zzzwvptrcpmYlhWhc0dZ0`U0XP0TKFNFKICI8DG0\ DE0DC0BC0CC0DC8DDCEFECFOEGIGMHHOFMTJShM_mQgrTmvZrw\ `uvdwuhwtkrsglrlhqpfpqelmchjbcfa_b`WZZSVYORXKOWFKU\ BGT7LU9QVAVWC`YEeZFj_Ho`ItaKpbMlbNhcPdcR`dSXeUSeWO\ fXKfZGg`Cga8hcFkZ4hdoNXdLSUKOJIK6FF9HGBJGELHHNIKPI\ MRJPTKSVKVXLXZM_`MbbNedOgfOjhPqjRmjQijOdiN`iLXiKTi\ IPiHKhFGhEChCCiBDkADl8En7Eo6Ep5Fr3Fs2Ft1Hu7IuDKuIL\ vOMvTOvZPvcUgT_TJdE8iCAmACr8Er9DrACrBBqCAqD9qE8qF7\ qG6qH5qI4pJ3pK2pL1pM0pM0mO2kP4hR6fS8dT9aVB_WDYXFVZ\ HT_JR`KObMMcOP_NSWMVSLYOL`KKcGJfCIi8HiAIhCJhEKgGLg\ IMfKNfMPfOQeQReSSdUTdWUcYVc_WxoWupWrpWoqWlrWirWfsW\ ctW`tWYuWVvWSvWPwWNwWMtXLqXKnXKlXJiXIfXHcXHaXGZXFW\ XETXERXDOXCLXNZbXkigyohwkjtgkrblpZnnVokRqiNrgJseEu\ bAv`6s`6q_5n_5kZ5iZ4fY4dY3aX3ZX3XW2UW2SW2NR8JMDFII\ BDO79T34YCAVLFSULPaRLjWIsaFs`Hs_Ks_MtZPtYRtXTtXWtW\ YtV_uUbuUduTguSipRjjPkeOl } frm:Mystic2 {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), c=real(p2), d=imag(p2), k=real(p3), f=imag(p3), g=pixel, z=(pixel)^a+(b*(pixel))^c: z=(fn1(z)+(d*(g)))^k+(f*(cos(g))) g=sqr(g), LastSqr <= 100 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
