Some fairly normal ; elephants are still there, such as those scrunched at the right ; edge of the image, but what caught my attention are the bits and ; pieces of elephants at the center. ; ; I named the image "Elephantettes", an oxymoron if ever there was ; one. But the front halves of elephants, their trunks curling ; out left and right, actually do appear a bit delicate. ; ; The double-half-elephant effect is due to the angle of the slice ; and the curved shape of the things being sliced. Elephants are ; actually four-dimensional shapes that curve and twist through ; four-dimensional space. It would take a five-dimensional viewer ; to actually see the entire 4-D elephant shapes, though a 4-D ; viewer could intuit the entire shapes. ; ; The improved color palette makes the image worthy of a rating, ; and the rating I chose is a 7. The calculation time of five ; minutes is bearable for all but the most impatient. The most ; impatient may avoid calculation altogether by enjoying the fin- ; ished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; A perfectly average early July day prevailed here at Fractal ; Central on Monday. The mostly sunny skies and temperature of ; 82F 28C were just what the fractal cats ordered. Their only ; complaint was that they never get to go outside like the old ; fractal cats used to do back at old fractal central. (Actually, ; the old and the new fractal cats never met.) ; ; My day was comfortably busy. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 ; hours. Until then, take care, and I believe only what I see, ; and I'm not sure I believe most of that. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Elephantettes { ; time=0:05:18.62-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basic.frm formulaname=SliceJulibrot4 passes=t periodicity=10 center-mag=-0.0019407218694615/-0.4731591677497216\ /2371/0.001754/90/0 params=90/90/0/90/0.260821781/\ 0/0/0/2/0 float=y maxiter=27500 inside=0 logmap=25 colors=000wzMxzLwzKuzKszJqzIozHlzHizGfzGczG`zFYzHW\ zKUzNSyQRxTQxWPxZPyaPycPyePxgPxjPxmPwpPwsPwvPwwPvw\ PvvPvsPuqPuoPumPtkPtiPtgPtePscPscPsaPr`Pr`Pr`Pq_Pq\ _Pq_Pq_Pp_PpZPpZPoZPoZPoYPnYPnYPnYPnYPnYPnYPnYPnYP\ lVPiSPfQPcNP`KPYHPVFPSCPP9PM7NM8MK8LJ9KH9IGAHEAGDB\ FBBF89EABEBCECDEDEEFFDGGDHHDIIDKJDLKCMLCNMCPNCQOCR\ PBSQBURBVSBWUBXVAZWA_XA`YAaZAc_9d`9ea9fb9hc9id8je8\ kf8mg8nh8oi8pj9oi9niAmiAliAkiBjiBiiBhiCgiCfjCekDdl\ DcmDbnEaoE`pE_qFZrFYsFXtGXuGXvHXwHXxH`yIYzI_zIazJg\ zJazJ`zKVzKUzKOzLNzLHzLGzMFzMEzMDzNCzNBuK5pM8pNApP\ CpNApOCuPDuQEuRFzRGzSHzTIzUJzULzVMzWNzXOzYPzYQzZRz\ _Sz`Uz`VzaWzbXzcYzdZzd_ze`zfbzgczgdzhezifzjgzkhzki\ zlkzmlznmznnzoozppzqqzrszquzqwzqwzpwzpwzpwzowzowzo\ wznwznwznwzmwzmwzmwzlwzlwzlwzkwzkwzkwzjwzjwzjwziwz\ iwziwzhwzhwzhwzgwzgwzgwzfwzfwzfwzewzewzewzdwzdwzdw\ zcwzcwzcwzbwzbwzbwzawzawz } frm:SliceJulibrot4 {; draws most slices of Julibrot pix=pixel, u=real(pix), v=imag(pix), a=pi*real(p1*0.0055555555555556), b=pi*imag(p1*0.0055555555555556), g=pi*real(p2*0.0055555555555556), d=pi*imag(p2*0.0055555555555556), ca=cos(a), cb=cos(b), sb=sin(b), cg=cos(g), sg=sin(g), cd=cos(d), sd=sin(d), p=u*cg*cd-v*(ca*sb*sg*cd+ca*cb*sd), q=u*cg*sd+v*(ca*cb*cd-ca*sb*sg*sd), r=u*sg+v*ca*sb*cg, s=v*sin(a), c=p+flip(q)+p3, z=r+flip(s)+p4: z=z^(p5)+c |z|<=9 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
