But the name is fully justified. The first ; thing I noticed when I saw the finished image was the ring of ; stylized but terrified profiles of human faces surrounding the ; central minibrot. These profiles are most obvious in the lower ; left part of the image. ; ; All this fear was generated when I combined 7.5 parts of ; Z^(-0.5) with 0.75 part of Z^(-5), added (1/C) and iterated the ; mixture with a bailout radius of 40. The parent fractal is ; little more than an empty circle with something that looks like ; a lobster claw on its northeast shoreline. ; ; There is an obvious mandel-type bud in this claw however, with a ; curving filament extending from it. Today's scene is located ; far out on this filament, near the point where it terminates. ; ; The rating of a 6 is near what I think the image is worth. The ; calculation time of only 39 seconds makes running the included ; parameter file quite a bargain. But the best bargain of all can ; be found on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; where the image already has been or soon will be calculated and ; posted for immediate viewing pleasure. ; ; The temperature of 54F 12C was fair enough here at Fractal ; Central on Monday, but the cloudy skies totally failed to ; satisfy the fractal cats, who spent most of the day in the ; living room, sulking conspicuously. The treat of tuna cheered ; them some, though they still would have preferred an afternoon ; in the sun on their sun shelf. ; ; My day was average, which means just enough work to keep boredom ; away. I'll post the next FOTD in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and when one is young, science has the all answers. But ; the older one grows, the fewer questions science can answer. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= The_Faces_of_Fear { ; time=0:00:39.41-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basic.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-0.3338053113603147/+0.0914822065138245\ /3.05e+010/1/-22.5/0 params=7.5/-0.5/0.75/-5/0/-60\ /0/0 float=y maxiter=1600 inside=253 outside=tdis logmap=17 periodicity=10 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000x3ON7s53z79u9FqBLmDRiFXeHaaQdeYgifjlnmpv\ os6Yu7Vq8Tm9QjAOfBMb00KTJOSFOCERkSnoZosdpzzzzzzzoX\ weBwYHtRMlLSbHXZDbVAgPGZJMQDSHczcZjfadie_khUnlPpoJ\ srEujLvbRwVXzObxGhy8nz1tz9frGTjNFbU2VX5T_8RbBQeEOh\ HMjJLiPZhUlgZzfXtfWzfUhfTcfRYfQSfOMfNHXPTORcSPYWOS\ _NNcLHgKCkJ6nI1TqAMnFFlK9jPBeSCaVDYYEU`GQcHMfIIiJE\ kLIiMLhOPgPSfQVdSZcTabUdam2Xm3Ym3Ym4Ym4Ym4YeB_ZH`S\ OaLUbE`c7fd0le2gf3cf5_g6Wg8Sh9OhBKiCGiLW_UkRazIawQ\ atXaqcankakrahybfwbdubcsbaqb`obZmbYlgXhlXeqWbuW_Wg\ f6smHpdSmWbjNmgExe5rcBlaHg_NaZSXXYRVcMUhLThJSgHRfG\ QfEPeCOdBNd9Mc7Lb6Kb4Ja2I`1H`DBkP6uJBdDGO7L8AI9CGA\ FEAHBBK9BM7CP4CR2DT0DSAKRJRWghNkcEp_6tWEoYMk_Ugaac\ ch_eYhdNqcDzbHtcLncPhcSbcWXc_RcbLccIVdGMeEDeC4`ICW\ NKRTSMY_IbfHdhGejFflEgnDhpCirCjtEisGisIisJisIloHnl\ GpiFsfaRZcYXVSRMNMDIG4DBFKAQR9`Y8kd7vk6tfDsaJrXQqS\ WpOahVd``fUfhiNYZfzeaNkfH } 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
