I think this is the first time I have posted ; an image created by the Mandel-V-Esc (variable escape) formula, ; which is actually an old one. ; ; The name of today's image is "Eve of Destruction". This in no ; way implies that humanity is doomed. We have enough shows on TV ; already telling us that. The imminent destruction is faced by ; the small minibrot at the center of today's image, along with ; the entire scene it lies in. ; ; The image lies deep in an elephant-trunk spiral, which itself ; lies deep in East Valley of the very familiar Mandelbrot set. ; So far, so good. But the image has little resemblance to the ; typical minibrots in the area. The problem is that the scene is ; on the verge of destruction. ; ; The bailout radius has been decreased to the point where the ; entire scene is ready to be obliterated. The tentacles of doom ; are already encroaching on the helpless minibrot at the center, ; which will soon go to wherever minibrots go when the calculation ; withdraws from them. ; ; Altruistic fractalists can save the doomed minibrot and restore ; it to health by raising the (p3) parameter to 4, while heartless ; ones can hasten its demise by lowering the parameter. The fans ; of doom can watch the actual death scene by lowering the para- ; meter in tiny increments. (The end comes at 0.8986203815, but ; it isn't very pretty to look at.) ; ; The rating of a 7 means that at least a little reward will be ; gained by taking the one minute required to run the included ; parameter file. ; ; Despite the one-minute calculation time, the trip to: ; ; ; ; to view the already-calculated image will be easier. ; ; Total sunshine and a temperature of 43F 11C made Thursday an ; ideal day for the fractal cats here at Fractal Central. They ; spent the afternoon sharing their sunny shelf in the southwest ; window. My day was . . . well . . . typical. The next FOTD ; will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and do what ; comes easiest. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Eve_of_Destruction { ; time=0:00:57.57-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=slices.frm formulaname=Mandel-V-Esc center-mag=+0.2547710270\ 4256/-0.000530957591423/1.78576e+011/1/40/0 float=y params=0/0/0/0/0.89863/0 float=y maxiter=10000 inside=0 outside=imag mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000WfEYiB_l8`o5fcNlSdrHumKqiMneOjaQgYSdUU`P\ WYLYUH_RDaO9cK5eH1gE4dH7aJAZLDWNGUPJRRMOTPLVSIXUGZ\ SASQCTPFVNGWMHXKPaJQbHRbFTcEUcCVdBXd9Ye8ZeBWcDUaFS\ `HQZJOXMMWOKUQITSFRUDPXBOZ9M`7Kb5Jd3Hf1Gd6JbBL`GOZ\ LQYQSWTWVWZUZaSadRdgQgjReiSdiTbiUaiV_iWZiXXiYWi_Wk\ `WlbWmcWneWofWpgWqdXoaXnZYmWYkTZjQZiN_gK_fH_eEUiBc\ j8ljBkeDjaFiYHhTJhPMgLOfGQeCSd8Ud4Sb3Ra3Q_3OY3NV3M\ T3LQ3JT2IR2HQ2FO2EN2DL2CK2EN5GQ7IT9KWBMZDOaFQdHSgK\ UjMWmOYpQ_sSavUbxWduYfsZgp_in`jlalicngdodeqbfr`gpc\ _oeTnhMmjFll8jnChpGfrJhtNmwRrzUwzczzmvxcrnUrdKrWKr\ NOrFSrITrKTrMUrPUrRVtTVvVVm_adcgWgmNksOjpPinQhlQgj\ RfhSefSddTcaUb_VaYV`WW_UXZSXYQnHQpEUrCYtA`qDbKFcRI\ eiKfgNhdPibSk_UlXWmVZoS`pQcrNesLhuIjvI4LP4PS4QV4RX\ 7TZAU`DVbGXdIYfLZhO`jRalUbmWci`hfelbjp_nt`lpajlahh\ bfdbd`cbXd`TdZPeXLeVHfTDfR9`OGWLNRIUMF`HCgCAmEDiGG\ fIJcKM`LPXNSUPVRRYOT`LUcH } frm:Mandel-V-Esc {; changeable bailout radius z=p1, c=pixel+p2: z=sqr(z)+c, |z| <= p3 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
