It simply ; shows some elephants pieces gathering into finished elephants. ; ; Now don't expect full-blown elephants to appear when you run the ; parameter file. The elephants in today's image are little more ; than their disembodied trunks. But the rest of the ponderous ; beasts are there, at least in spirit, faithfully mounting guard ; over their shrunken Z^(1.5)+C buds. ; ; The parent fractal is the Z^(1.5)+C Mandeloid as it appears 24 ; levels up the complex logarithmic hyper-spiral. Today's scene ; is located in a rudimentary East Valley that lies on the X-axis. ; ; I rated the image, for those who care, at a 7, which is FOTD ; average. The name "Just Getting Started" refers to the ; elephants, which are just now getting their act together. ; ; The calculation time of 1-1/6 minutes will pass in a jiffy. The ; time might seem a bit longer for those desperately impatient to ; see the image. These desperate few may view the image already ; calculated on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Summer finally arrived here at Fractal Central on Thursday as ; the temperature rose to 91F 33C and the sun sizzled down. The ; fractal cats paid no heed to the hot weather, spending the day ; in front of the living room fan. My day was as quiet as might ; be hoped but busy enough to keep financial worries at bay. The ; next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, ; and why are there trillions of trillions of stars in the ; universe yet only one of each one of us? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= JustGettingStarted { ; time=0:01:10.14-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basic.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=floor center-mag=+0.165500928/-0.005217105/1112.595/1/\ 28.8/0 params=1.5/0/24/0 float=y maxiter=4500 inside=0 logmap=34 periodicity=10 colors=000CCCAFE8HH6JK4LN2NP6PQARQDTRHWRLZSO`SScTV\ eTZhUbjUelVimVlnVjoWhpWfqXdqXbqY`pYZoZXnZVm_Tl_Rk`\ Pj`Oi`QhbSgcTfeVefXdhYci_bk`ala`jb_hcagccededegbfi\ afk_gmYhoXiqVipUjoSkoRlnPjlOghMcdKZ_IVVHRRFMMDIJCD\ HA9F85D7CBEJDLQHRWMYbRdiVjp_qvcwwazw_zwYzxWzxUzxSz\ xQzyOzyMzyKzzIzzGvzErzDmxGhwJcvMZtPUsSVrUWlYVg`Ubc\ TYgTTjSOmRJpRKmTLjVLgXMdZMa`NZaNWcOTeOQgPNiPLjPMgP\ MdPMaPM_PNXPNUPNSPNPPOMPOKPOHPOEPOCRMDTLDVJEXIEYGF\ _FFaDGcCGdAHf9Hh7Ij6Ik5IQWR5uZ7rX8oV9lTAiRBgPCdNDa\ MEZKFXIGUGHREIOCJMBGLHEKMCKRAJW8I`6Ie4Hj2Ho7NmBSkF\ XiKagOfeSkcWpbWpbXpbXpaYoaYoaZoaZo`_o``n``n_an_an_\ bm_bmZcmZcmZdmYijVelYelYflYflXglXgkXhkWhkWikW7iz8j\ z9jzAjzBjzCjzDjzEjzFjzGjzHjzIjzJjzKjzKjzLjzMjzNjzO\ jzPjzQjzUjzZkzckzhkzmkzrkzvkzzkzzkzzkzzkzzkzzkzzkz\ zkzzkzzkzzkzzkzzkzzkzzfzzgzzgzzgzzgzzgzzhzzhzzhzzh\ zzhzzhzzizzizzizzizz_zzYz } frm:MandelbrotBC3 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100 p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*fn1(p/(2*PI)) r=real(p2)+PI-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
