When the ; 'recip' function is used, this formula does the same things as ; the old DivideBrot5 formula, but does them about 10-percent ; faster. In addition, the changeable function adds much more ; flexibility. ; ; Unfortunately, the continuing busy period here at Fractal ; Central has kept me from exploring the things that happen when ; the function is changed, but the rush is near an end, and I ; expect some interesting images from this new formula in the near ; future. ; ; Today's image is a scene in the Seahorse Valley area of its ; parent fractal, which is a distorted Mandelbrot set, with cubic ; features just beneath the surface. The circular features in the ; background of the image were created by rendering it with the ; inside set to 'fmod' and a proximity of 0.007. ; ; I gave the image a rather side-show sounding name -- "The Mighty ; Cubic" And then I rated it at a 7, which is just about FOTD ; average. The calculation time of 7-1/2 minutes is slow, but not ; unbearably so, and the finished image is posted, as always, for ; instant viewing on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The weather was dry Tuesday here at Fractal Central, but the ; heavy clouds that hung overhead all day and the temperature of ; 57F 14C kept the fractal cats in a sullen mood. Nicholas got so ; out of sorts that he cussed me with the 'hiss' word when I tried ; to comfort him. Cassie simply found a soft cushion, curled up ; and slept for most of the day. ; ; My day was busy, though not as bad as Monday, and with FL unable ; to do garden work, I got a bit of help. The next FOTD will be ; posted, if all goes well, in 24 hours. Until then, take care, ; and where is Hilbert space? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= The_Mighty_Cubic { ; time=0:07:31.94-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basic.frm formulaname=DivideBrot5a function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-1.790989550773074/+0.4048960468128376/\ 7.68e+008/1/-22/0 params=3/2.5 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=fmod proximity=0.007 periodicity=10 colors=000qmy__dIDKw_LhRFUIAF95U80K50A20Lm2AP1TasJ\ P`9CINLDHF9BA65531ke9fs6S`3EIU5dF2KyzX2Nm6_2ruG_aA\ IJ5pgnZTYHEH2E2171fJxmYoPHQWAlqgp_TZIEH2j21N1suyLc\ nFUaAKP5AC00r0ozOezIVhCLa6AAjLFKA7zfDgT9TJ6E936HM4\ BE257K`2FR1AI1590oPSbILQCEDzzVziAFV7BN57F237Dig6NM\ ojzYVeHFLCJm8CX46G1Do09b06Q03Dblk22MYcuHKThw_bqpQ_\ ZDIHEqOAcIcSQcJRcASWEUPIWILYOM_UNa_OcdPeSIlFCr26x6\ UcApJ8_D6J7431I2BW1Kh1TK3SM0E2ns1ae1PS0CEScMIQE9D7\ FLDL8bA4JgQySt_aaJSSEJJ9994CAk65ObxaThSJUJ9F91QXcE\ dK7KuVkIpzDbj9QV4DFFLkBF_7AO35CuNFfHBTB7E53`GBOA7C\ 53RhfDMLmzC`j9PV6CF3RrxI_c9IK3EePLoGEY87HHpXCbO8QG\ 4D8z93e62L31LhFEUA7F5ZW_HGIgGUXCMM8FB47a3WP2LC1AyR\ kcoXQYMDHBjWLNGApiJQN9QND8g04M0EWC7G6CUx6FUPdBGR78\ D3e5UV3ML2FA17PpRGZI8H9VilKUWAFGKR9DI6693LWxFOhAGU\ 58FPUzEkHbmsQX`DGIAoKYkpHOQ0hZ0MH6Zs4Qe3HS18EO8iC4\ NjFGN78nOePCLREbKATD7J639 } frm:DivideBrot5a { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2), b=imag(p1)+0.00000000000000000001: z=z^2*fn1(z^(a)+b)+c |z| < 1000000 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
