But it is ; still worth a quick look. Unfortunately, with a calculation ; time of 12-4/5 minutes, taking a really quick look from the ; parameter file could present a problem. To solve this dilemma, ; I suggest a quick trip to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; where the image is or soon will be posted for immediate viewing ; pleasure. ; ; The parent fractal is a small Mandelbrot set rotated 90 degrees ; so that its main stem points north along the positive Y-axis. ; Today's scene is located on the negative Y-axis beyond (south ; of) the parent's East Valley, on a blunt wedge jutting into a ; distorted bud on the northeast shore line of a strange appearing ; hole with minibrot characteristics. ; ; The name "Terraces to Nowhere" pretty much explains itself. The ; terraced effect was achieved by rendering the scene with the out- ; side set to 'tdis'. And now that the image has been described, ; let's get to conditions here at FC. ; ; Lots of sun and a temperature of 82F 28C made Monday the most ; pleasant day so far this year here at Fractal Central, at least ; outdoors. The sun is now so high in the afternoon sky that it ; falls short of the fractal cats' window shelf. The dynamic cats ; do not worry themselves about the lack of sun however. It is ; now plenty warm all through FC. ; ; My day was average, like so many other days. It's curious that ; when one is a child every day seems different, then when they ; reach adulthood, all the routine days seem to blend into a kind ; of monotonous similarity. One thing always varied however is ; the next fractal, the very next of which I will post in 24 ; hours. Until then, take care, and it's all an evil conspiracy. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= TerracesTo_Nowhere { ; time=0:12:50.35-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident passes=1 center-mag=+0.0010469135278344/-0.2989515348835464\ /3.07908e+010/1/75/0 params=4/3/2/1/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=6400 inside=0 outside=tdis periodicity=6 colors=0001PG1QA0R50S0GPFWMTjKfiNeiPdhSchUchWbgZag\ ``gb`fe_fgZfiZgadgVjgNpgGvcFr`FoYFlVFiRFfOFcLF`IFY\ EFVBFS8FP5FM2FJ7GMCGPHGSMHVRHYWH``IceIfjIhlKjmLknN\ moOnpPprRqsSstTtuVvvWwwXxx`sxcnxfiyidyl`yoWzrRzuMO\ dfLcdIacG`aD_`AYZ8XX5VW2UU0TT4RU7PUBOVEMVIKVLJWPHW\ SGWs`QoYRkVRgSScPS_NTWKTSHUOEUKBVH9VKEYNJ_POaSTdVX\ fXah_fkbkmdooepkfqggqcgr_hrWisSjsOjtKktGluClu8nm7o\ f7q_7rT6tM6uF6v86pCAkFDfJGaMJXPMSTQNWTIZWDbZ8ea3hd\ EVfPIhZ5jNUcCqXEkTGeQH_NJUKLOHMIEOCBP68NFHLOQJXYHe\ fFnoEwwFuvGsuHqtIotJmsKkrLirMgqNepOcpPaoQ_nRYnSWmT\ UlTSlRUjPViNWhLXgJYfHZeF_dD`cBabAbaId`Pf_WhZbiYikX\ pmWwnVrhTmbSiYRdSQ`NOWHNSCMN6LJ1KL4NM7POARPDTRGVSJ\ XTM_VPaWScYVeZYg_`iZbdYc_XeVWfQVgLUiGTjBSk7Wi6_h6c\ g6ff6jd6nc6rb6ua6pb7lb8hb8db9_bAWbASbBObBXdOee`nfm\ vgzrhrnijkjcgjWckO`lHXm9Um2_k8djDbkHakK_kNZlQYlUWl\ XVm_TmbSmfRniPnlOnoNnrSis } 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 ;
