The parent fractal came about when I combined ; equal parts of Z^3 and Z^5 before adding straight C. It is a ; double-bayed thing oriented north-south and resembling a peanut. ; Today's image is located in a wedge-shaped bar in a double bud ; on the southwest shore line of the southern bay of the parent. ; ; When rendered in the normal equal-iteration manner, today's ; image is most boring, but when the inside is set to 'fmod' and ; the outside to 'tdis' the scene comes to life. ; ; Most of the effect is due to the critical setting of the 'fmod' ; proximity factor. The terraced effect was achieved by the ; outside setting of 'tdis'. ; ; The name "Terraces of Desire" is a kind of joke. It hints at ; the junky romance novels known in the trade as bodice rippers, ; which FL sometimes picks up when nothing better to read is ; available. (I must be sure she doesn't manage to read this ; discussion.) ; ; The rating of a 7 is good enough to make the calculation time of ; 26 seconds worth the effort. Even less effort will be expended ; if the finished image is viewed on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Typical warm summer weather prevailed here at Fractal Central on ; Monday, with a temperature of 86F 30C. A few small showers were ; in the area around noon time but none fell at FC. The fractal ; cats seemed content with the conditions, and spent most of the ; day sleeping, though a bit of a row broke out when Nicholas ; tried to chase Cassie from her sleeping spot on the living room ; ottoman. Nicholas ended up shaking off a scratched ear; Cassie ; ended up with the ottoman. ; ; My day was fair enough. The next FOTD will likely be posted in ; 24 hours. Until then, take care, and let me know when men get ; to Mars. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Terraces_of_Desire { ; time=0:00:26.14-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basic.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident float=y center-mag=+0.488820481/-0.874460107/29089/1/47/0 params=1/3/1/5/0/0/0/0 maxiter=1500 inside=fmod proximity=0.00229 outside=tdis periodicity=10 colors=000isDgsDfrCdrCcrBarB_qA`oCamEbkHdhJefMfdOg\ bRi_TjYWkWYlU`nRboPe6UoBPgGK_LFTORVvbWmnYevZSuXRqV\ QmTOiRNePMaNKYLJUKIQIGMGFIEEECCAAB68A27E3AH4DK5GO6\ JR7MU8PY9S`AVcBYgC`jDcmDepMjrVnPdsWe`bfJhg1WY6X`EY\ bLZdS_fZ`he`hd_hc_hb_h`Zh_ZgZZgYYgXUdGYgWXgVXgUXfT\ WfSWfQWfPVfOVfNVeMUeLUeKUeJTeITeHdRKbTJaVJ_XIZZIX`\ HWbHUdGLdeMebNe_OeYPeVPeTQeQReNSeLTeIwzYtxWrwVpuUn\ tTlsSjqQhpPfnOdmNblM`jKZiJXgIVfH4Eo8IiCMdFQ_JUVMYQ\ QaLi`yfasdbmbbg`cbZdXXdRVeLEZHF_GG_GG_GH_GH`GI`GI`\ GJ`GJaGKaGKaGLaGLbGMbGMbGNbGNcGOcGOcGPcGPdGQtOItUA\ t_2tdHjXW`PiSIjUKjWMjYOk_QkaSkbTjjTirTizTerSajSYbR\ VVRRNQNFQK8QQ6NV5K`3He2Ej1Bb7IWCPPIWINbBShFTgIUfMV\ fPWeTXdWYd_Zcb_ca`da`da`ea`e``f``f``g``gKeN3j36hA9\ gGCfMFeTIdZQbrOctNevMfwz6Yy7UvCSrHQnMOkRMgWKcaHc`G\ dZFeYEfWDgVBhTAiS9iQ8jP7kN5lM4mK3nJ2oH0SC1XL4aU7gb\ AlkDrrGrsGqtFqvFpxEpzEggh } 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 ;
