Today's image shows a cubic minibrot in ; the north branch of the seahorse-type valley leading to this bud. ; ; At this point words become useless, so I recommend running the ; included parameter file and enjoying the result. ; ; The rating of a 6 would have been higher if cubic minibrots were ; not so common. But I did allow myself a gift of 1/2 point for ; the extra time I devoted to the coloring. ; ; The name "A Three-Way Split" has something to do with the cubic ; nature of the image. ; ; The calculation time of an impressively brief 44 seconds will ; seem even faster when the finished product comes into view. The ; trip to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; always passes in a flash. Those who do not relish calculating ; parameter files or have over-qualified computing machines may ; view the finished image there. ; ; Lots of clouds and a bone-chilling temperature of 14F -10C here ; at Fractal Central on Saturday kept the fractal cats near the ; heat. The weather could have been worse however. In the ; evening I got a call from my sister back at Old Fractal Central, ; telling me that a couple inches of snow are on the ground down ; there in glorious Northeast Baltimore. The fractal cats dislike ; snow even more than cold. ; ; Otherwise, my day, and FL's day as well, was without incident. ; There is a 95-percent chance the next FOTD will be posted in 24 ; hours. Until then, take care, and get in there with the big- ; time thinkers. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= A_Three-Way_Split { ; time=0:00:44.10-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=AllNewDivideBrot2 function=recip center-mag=-0.152849815603991/+0.003780648289346/\ 2646816/1/-76.5/0 params=3/5 float=y maxiter=1800 inside=0 logmap=103 symmetry=none periodicity=6 colors=000MCmOCjQCgSCdUCbWD`YEZ_FXaFVcFUeGTgISiJRk\ LQkMPmOOnQNoRMpTLqULpXOp_QobSoeUnhWnkYmn_mqaltclwe\ kucjsbiqaio`hl_gjYghXffWecVeaUd_ScYRcVQbTPaROaPN`Q\ M_QLZQKYQJXQIWRHVRGURFTRESREUPOVOXXMfYLoVKiTKcRJYP\ JSNJNOpwOhwOcvP_uPXtOUsNRrUMqVMpWJoYHn_FmaDlcBke8j\ g8ji8jk7jm7jo7jp7jxALs8Jn7Ij6He5Ga4FjOVrgjzzzeNecO\ haOk_PnYPqWQtVQvZVpaZjebdhfZljTonNgfJ`ZGUSDMKAFC78\ 5482v41TF8oB6b74Q32DWrgSkaOdXKYRGRMCKG8DB4653pC2b9\ 1Q60D31n50f40_30T20L20E1070iv8bm6We5QX4JP3DG2681iW\ ybRpWMgQIZJDQD9H648noDPQ6nhxYUcHFKGKzmrnX_YGIHQgiJ\ XYDMN6BBJgOFZJBQE7H9384`wcVnYQeSLYMmcHmcBmc5mcJmcF\ zcCzc9zc6zc3zcqzcDzc9zc6zc3zc1zc0zm_zmOzmCzmPzmLzm\ HzmEzmAzm7zm3zmDzmBzm9zm8zm6zm4zz3zz1zzjzzbzzVzzNz\ zFzz7zzTzzPzzLzzIzzEzzAzz7zz3PzgKzZFzQAzH5z8KzrGzg\ CzX8zM4zBVzpQzhMz`HzUDzM8zF4z79z`7zW6zR5zN4zI3zD2z\ 91z4mzTfzP`zLVzIPzEXzLVzK } frm:AllNewDivideBrot2 { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2), b=imag(p1)+0.00000000000000000001: z=(-b)*(z*z*fn1(z^(a)+b))+c |z| < 1000000 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
