I might ; have rated it at a 10 if I had done more work on it. As it is, ; most of the colors are not mine, but were created randomly by ; the Fractint program in glorious 256-color GIF format. I did ; tweak the colors just enough however to earn a half-point bonus. ; ; The parent fractal was created by subtracting straight Z from ; Z^2.5 and adding straight C. This parent resembles a Mandelbrot ; set with three buds instead of only one bud on its west side. ; Today's scene is located on the south edge of the valley separat- ; ing the north bud from the center bud. ; ; When I first checked this area, I almost gave up. I saw no ; chance at all of finding minibrots or anything else very interes- ; ting there, but by rendering the area with the outside set to ; 'fmod' I did find a minibrot, and as today's image shows, quite ; a good one at that. ; ; The area is so full of discontinuities that instead of breaking ; up the image, the discontinuities help create the image. The ; name "Resurrection Scene" was inspired not only by what is sup- ; posed to have happened on the first Easter, but by the image, ; which has become so broken up that it has returned to life in ; even better form. ; ; The calculation time of 2-1/2 minutes is far more reasonable ; than the times of some recent FOTD images. But as always, the ; finished image is posted on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; where it may be viewed instantly and without effort. ; ; Full sun and a temperature of 73F 23C made Easter Sunday a day ; to be remembered here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats ; enjoyed most of it, but would have been a bit happier with an ; extra treat or two of tuna. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 ; hours. Until then, take care, and mysteries abound on this day, ; the greatest of which is, "what species of rabbit lays eggs?" ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Resurrection_Scene { ; time=0:02:36.70-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident passes=1 center-mag=-0.1607468385993725/+0.1293682960522352\ /6788710/1/55/0 params=1/2.5/-1/1/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1200 inside=0 logmap=154 periodicity=6 colors=000D7PE8PF9OGAOHBNICNJDMKEMLFLMGLNHKOIKPJJQ\ KIRLHSMGTNGUOFVPEWQDXRCYSCZUB_WA`Y9a_8ba8cc7de6egQ\ feQccP`aPX_OUYORWNOUNKSMHQMEOLBML8KLHISPHZXFedElbD\ i`Dg_CeYCcXBaVB_TAYSAWQ9UP9SN8QL8OK7MI7KG6FH7II8LI\ 9OJARKBUKCWLDZLEaMFdNGgNHiOIlPJoPKrQLuSGyQLwOPvMTu\ KYsIarGeqEipCnnArz8vz6zzAszEmzIgzMazQWuUQwYKyKEzKG\ vKIsKKoKMlQOhNQeLSaJUZGWVEYS6YQC_PH`OMaNRcMWdL`eKe\ fJjhIoiHtjGykGfr_yyrx`tsaonbkjcgedc`e__dVXeWVeWTeX\ ReXPeYNeYLeYJeZHeZFe_De_Be`9e`4db7e`AfZCfzDdzDbzD`\ zDZzEXzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzGECMIIRLOWPU`\ S_eVejZkoaqtdvlGchIddJdaKeYLeVMeRNfOPfKQgHRgDSgATh\ 6Uh3Vh8XiDYjH_kM`lQbmVcn_eocfphhqliqgfkcdf_baV`XRY\ SNWNIUIEUD8U7AU8BU8CU8DU8EU8FU8GU8HU8IU8JU8KU8LU8M\ U8NU8zU8zUAzUBzUDzUEzUDzUCzUBcZAbc9ac8ac7`h6_m5Zr4\ Zv3zz2zz1zz0zz3zz6zz9zzBzzErzHuzJIz0WzFizUvzhmzfez\ dXzbPz`GzZ8zX0zW0zV0zU0zT } 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 ;
