It's getting to be a FC ; tradition. The trek was not a total loss, I found a perfectly ; good, well-aligned pair of Bushnell binoculars for 12 dollars, ; and FL found a pleasing decorative pillow. ; ; The image for today, with its limited palette of colors, rates ; an honest 8. The name "Recursive Rhapsody" has little meaning ; beyond its poetic effect. ; ; The parent fractal was created by subtracting Z^(-1.5) from ; Z^(1.5). This parent comes in two parts -- a twisted Mandelbrot ; set and a separate, smaller and partially occluded set lying ; some distance to the southwest. Today's image lies in the East ; Valley of this smaller set, which is the only recognizable part ; of it that remains. ; ; The unusual effect was achieved by rendering the image with the ; outside set to 'tdis'. The normal outside=tdis rendering is far ; less impressive. ; ; The calculation time of just over 2 minutes is a bargain when ; the resulting image rates an 8. And even this minor wait may be ; avoided by viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Lots of clouds, blustery winds, snow-covered ground, and a ; temperature of 27F -3C made Saturday quite a winterish day here ; at Fractal Central. The fractal cats ignored the cold, seeking ; comfort in the warmest spots they could find. My day was spent ; bargain hunting. ; ; The next FOTD is due to be posted in around 9 hours. There's a ; fair chance it might actually be posted on time. Until then, ; take care, and don't ask me why the laws of nature work as they ; do. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Recursive_Rhapsody { ; time=0:02:08.12-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident passes=1 center-mag=-0.97539331598/-2.10693345459/1690985/1\ /-147.5/0 params=1/1.5/-1/-1.5/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 outside=tdis periodicity=6 colors=0001be7`aCZZHXWMVTSTQXRNaPKfNHXFMNDQEBKCEHI\ 6JN9LaJMcLOeNQjRRpUTtYVzaWwVVvTUtRTrQSpPRnNQlMPjLO\ hKNfJMgILiLNkNPlPRnSToUVqWXrYZs``sbbtddtffuihukjvm\ lzonzpkzqhzrezsbztczudzvezwfzxgzyhzzizzjzzkzzlzzmz\ znzzozzpzzqzzqzzizzazzUzzUzzUzzUzzUvzUrzVmzVhzVczV\ ZzWUzWPzWKzWFzZAz`5zc5ze4zh4zj4zm4zo4zqBznHzkmzhmz\ emzbmz_mz`mzamzbmzdmzfzzhzzjzzlzzmzzozzqzzszzuzzwz\ zxzzrzzlzzgzzazzWzzRzzLzzFzzAzzHzzOzzVzzazohzrnzri\ zrdzr`zrWzrRzrNzrIzrDzr9zr4zr0zi6zaCzUHFMN6ES8DR9C\ QBBPCAPE9OF8NH8NI7MK6LL5KN4KO3JQ2IR2IS7GTCEUHCVLAW\ Q8XV6XZ4W`6Vb8UcAUeCTfEShFRjHRkJQmLPnNOpPOqQQqQRpP\ TpPVpPWoOYoO_oO`nNbnNdnNemMgmMimMjmMhjPggSeeVdbXb`\ _aYb_WdZTgXRjWOlUMoTJrSHtTIoUIkVIgWIcXJ_YJWZJS_JO`\ JKco6bm7bl8bk9bjAaiBahCafDaeE`dF`cG`bH`aIZ`JX`JV`J\ U`JS`KQ`KO`KN`KL`LJ`LH`LG`LF_SE_YE_cD_jC_pC_vG`rJa\ nMbkPcgSdcwhckfd_edOdeCce } 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
