The area is extremely difficult to color, and ; I managed only a barely adequate job. ; ; With no logmap in effect, the image becomes total chaos and ; basically worthless. The 'tdis' option does a reasonable ; coloring job, but slows down the calculation by a factor of near ; 100. The other outside options are useless. ; ; The coloring difficulty lies in the extreme iteration range, ; which ranges from a low count around 80,000 to a maxiter of ; 2,500,000. After several failed attempts, I set the logmap to ; an unlikely -3 to get the barely adequate effect in today's ; image. ; ; Though the scene lies in East Valley, no elephants or pop-eyed ; aliens are in sight. But the area is quite rich in minibrots, ; the largest of which, a rather twisted one, lies at the center ; of the image. ; ; The name "In Deep Trouble" refers to the image, not to any ; lingering unpleasantness here at FC. The rating of a 5 includes ; a 1-point penalty for the less-than-stellar coloring. ; ; The calculation time of 21 minutes is rather slow, and on some ; machines will run into several hours, so I recommend viewing the ; finished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; I sent the finished image on ahead, so it should be waiting. ; ; Things got pretty much back to normal here at FC on Tuesday, at ; least among the humans. The fractal cats were cranky for some ; reason, perhaps over the lack of sun and rather chilly tempera- ; ture of 73F 23C. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours, give ; or take a few. Until then, take care and be pragmatic. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= In_Deep_Trouble { ; time=0:21:05.64-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 periodicity=10 center-mag=+0.2500121338008163/-0.0000000770449661\ /8.49238e+011/1/112.5/0 params=0/0 float=y inside=0 maxiter=2500000 logmap=-3 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000Gt6Ft1zQGzNMzHPzNRzWWz`XzeYzk_vobpiaic_b\ _ZUUUNKMJDLE6N80N20N00P00R6CX9N`EYbIigPypVzpazofzp\ nzqszsuzoyzklzqRzr4wy0rz0ktC_`PPPRLCgH0y90Bz2Gz2Jz\ 1Lz1PU0TPcWU0UPcUU0UPcUU0UPcUU0UPccUcUPcPJE00U30`G\ 0gT3nb8tnHzzPzzYzzfzzozzyzzzzozzfzzYzzPzzHzz9zzHzz\ RvsZbbXWWgDJt02p02k03g44b63X94RA3NC2ID1EE0CI3BN49R\ 57X64`60e61e74g86g8BiBCiBEkBGkBJn9Kn9Mp9Np9RrATrAW\ tBZv9Vt8Rr6Mn5Ik2Eg2Ae04`02Z00X00R00P00L00I00E00I0\ 0PE6USIdkXnzkzzPDv6ir0zu0zy0zz9qzKizV`z`azd`zfXziU\ zlRznNyqMtvLrzJpzIozHnzGizBfr6eb1bQ0gPMtF`z2uzLqze\ oznnnnnnnjpoerpdtq`vtXyuVzuQzyMzzLzzGzzCzzAzz6zz1z\ z8zzHzzOzzYzzbzzlzzszzzzzzzzzzxzzszzqzzpzznzzrzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzrzznzzfzz`zzUzzOzzIzzOzzUzzZzudvpipoog\ ggfaicXp_RvTJzUIvYJp_KiaJbgM`nQ_tRXzVWzWRzVMzXGzX7\ rYCR`L0kO0kO0nP3nR5pS8rVArVDtWGtYIvZLy`Ly_LyYLyVLy\ ULySLvOLvNLvLJvIIvGHtBGt8 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
