To update the image I have ; slightly re-cropped it, tweaked a few colors, and changed the ; outside to 'real'. ; ; The name "Oasis" refers to a slight tinge of green on the ; horizon at the left edge of the image, which I took to be a ; distant oasis of green on the otherwise desolate planet Mars. ; Or it could be the desert planet otherwise known as 'Dune' in ; the well-known series of fantasy novels pretending to be science ; fiction. ; ; Since the image is another repeat, I gave it no rating. ; ; There is not much more to be said about the image, which speaks ; for itself, other than repeating that the way to see it is to ; run the included parameter file and wait 30 seconds, or to surf ; out to the glorious FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and view the completed image in relaxed serenity there. ; ; The Friday weather here at Fractal Central was a repeat of the ; past 2 days' conditions -- heavy clouds but dry, and a tempera- ; ture of 55F 13C. The fractal cats gave up early and spent the ; rest of the day in the coziest warm places they could find. ; ; For me the day was just one more in a seemingly endless string ; of routine days. (Not that I find anything wrong with this.) ; If all goes well, and even if it doesn't, the next FOTD, the ; first of a new month, will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, ; take care, and don't judge another until you have walked in his ; shoes, (or something like that). ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Oasis { ; time=0:00:30.08-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=1821 type=manzpower center-mag=-0.4202216978\ /-0.0000124324/144032/2.3247/-5/0 params=0/0/3.25/0 float=y outside=real maxiter=550 inside=1 logmap=yes colors=000RINmYblXdjXehXggXheWjdWkbWm`Wn_VpYVqjY_b\ YZVYZMXYEXY6XXrY_qY_qY_pY_pZ_oZ`oZ`nZ`mZ`mZ`lZ`l_`\ k_`k_`j_ai_ai_ah_ah`ag`ag`af`ae`ae`ad`bdabcabcabba\ brY_qZZpZYp_Yo_Xn`Wm`VlaVlaUkbTjcSicShdRhdQgePfePe\ fOdgNdgMchMbhLaiK`iJ`jJ_jIZkHqZZp`YoaWncVmdUlfSkgR\ iiQhjOglNfmMeoKdpJpX_nVZlUZiSYgRYePXcOW`MWZLVXJVVI\ USGUQFTODSMCSJARH9RF7QbWQNTG7Q5rZawY9r`crberchrejr\ gmpfmnemldmjclhblfald`lb_l`ZkZYkXXkVWkTVkRUkOSjMRj\ KQjIPjGOjENiCMiALi8Ki6Ji4Ih2Hh0Gh2Gh4Gh5Hi6Hj6Ik6J\ k6Lk6Mj7Ni9NhBOgDOgFOgHOgKOgNOfQOfTOfWOfYPf_PfaPfb\ QfdRffSfhTejUelWenWepXerXdrXcvXkzXjzXZxZYz_Ww`VubT\ rcSodQlePjfNgfMdfKXfIUfHCgF9iDAgCAeBBcABa9C_8CY7DW\ 7EU6ES5FQ4FO3GM2GK1HI0JK3KM5MO8OPAPRDRTFTVIUXKWZNY\ _PZaS`cUbeXcgZeiagjchlfjnhlpkmrmotpqurrwutywryroyl\ kygzeUzeUxhUwkcukmukmfrPllUctZercXidO`fERg5Ih7Jh9K\ gBLgEMgGNgIOfKPfKPfOReQSe } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
