It is a an oblique scene in the Z^2+C Julibrot, ; which encompasses all the warped Mandelbrot sets as well as all ; the Julia sets. The orientation of the image is double-rotated ; 5 and 5 degrees from the true Julia direction. ; ; The banded effect of the foreground elements was achieved with ; the 'ranges' feature of Fractint, a little used and probably ; almost unknown feature. The three-dimensional effect of ghostly ; half-obscured Mandelbrot buds in the background arises because ; points that do not escape will eventually settle into the same ; orbits regardless of where they begin their journeys. ; ; The rating of a 5 indicates that I'm not very satisfied with the ; image, which is not quite worth the 8 minutes required to run ; the parameter file. ; ; The name "Talons of Doom" refers to the talon-like effect of the ; converging foreground stuff on the right side of the image. ; ; The most convenient way to view the image, as always, is to view ; it in finished form on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Tuesday here at Fractal Central was marked by dark scudding ; strato-cumulus clouds and blustery northwest winds. The ; temperature of 61F 16C felt more like 50F 10C. The fractal cats ; needed an extra tuna treat to keep their spirits up. ; ; My day was spoiled (or made) when I got into a heated political ; discussion, which I might elaborate on and post on the philo- ; fractal list in a day or two. (Politics sure can be fun.) The ; next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, ; and maybe I should win the Nobel Prize for easy fractals. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Talons_of_Doom { ; time=0:08:09.72-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=multirot-XY-ZW-new function=flip/ident passes=1 center-mag=-1.85151/1.376/9.59/1/158.35/0 params=85/85/2/0/-1.41/1.382/0.244/-0.738 float=y maxiter=32767 inside=253 periodicity=10 ranges=0/\ -1/250/260/275/295/325/360/400/450/600/1500/32767 colors=000cK0F0FKMzPQzUUzZYzcazhezmizrmzwtrzzj0000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 0000000000000000c_z000000 } frm:multirot-XY-ZW-new {; draws 6 planes and rotations ;when fn1-2=i,f, then p1 0,0=M, 0,90=O, 90,0=E, 90,90=J ;when fn1-2=f,i, then p1 0,0=M, 0,90=R, 90,0=P, 90,90=J a=real(p1)*.01745329251994, b=imag(p1)*.01745329251994, z=sin(b)*fn1(real(pixel))+sin(a)*fn2(imag(pixel))+p3, c=cos(b)*real(pixel)+cos(a)*flip(imag(pixel))+p4: z=z^(p2)+c, |z| <= 36 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
