I chose the rating because I kind of enjoy the ; coloring, and I did most of it myself with only minor help from ; the program. And then I named the image "In a Lost Valley". ; The reason for the name will be obvious once the exact location ; of today's image is seen in its parent fractal. ; ; This parent fractal came about when I entered some whimsical ; values into the MandAutoCritInZ formula. It is little more than ; scattered bits and pieces of assorted Mandeloid stuff surrounded ; by disconnected tiny Mandelbrot sets. Today's image is located ; in the west branch of the valley separating the two largest ; bays. Since the valley is not really a true one, but a random ; point of connection between two independent but overlapping ; Mandeloids, one might consider the valley to be 'lost', which ; explains the name. ; ; The calculation time of 4-1/4 minutes is fair enough for today's ; image. I leave it to the intrepid fractalist to decide whether ; the finished image is worth the effort. ; ; The way to avoid all this concern about value is by zooming out ; to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and viewing the already-calculated image posted there. ; ; A really great day passed unappreciated here at Fractal Central ; on Thursday, as the sun shone brilliantly and the temperature ; reached 75F 24C. I was busy working most of the time, while the ; fractal cats were busy keeping watch on the stray cats that for ; some reason were quite numerous in the back yard. FL spent most ; of the time thinking about this year's fractal garden. ; ; If all goes well, and I can see no reason why it should not, the ; next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, ; and perhaps God is what remains when everything vanishes and ; then even the empty space vanishes. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= In_a_Lost_Valley { ; time=0:04:14.45-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident float=y center-mag=+1.25998949311965/-0.9848802720117678/\ 112937.2/1/120/0 params=0.35/-2.2/-0.35/2.2/0/0/0/0 maxiter=2500 inside=0 logmap=284 periodicity=6 colors=000AJVALWANYAP_9Rb9Te9Vh9Xk8_n8aqBctFhwKmzP\ rzUvzZzzczzhzzmzzrzzvzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzze8Sg9Qi9Ok9Mm9Ko9Iq9GcjUkSMs9FpHMmPTkWZhcefrlfj\ kfckfWkfPkfHkfAkf3kXOeIijNh_RhQVgFZg5Ui7Pk9LlBGnDB\ pFYr``q_cpYeoXhnWjnVgmTelSckQ`jPZiNXhMUgKSfJQeINdG\ LcFJbDGaCE`AC_9A_8MW7XT7_Q6aN6dL6fI5hG5kD5mA4p84r5\ 4t34k74cA4VD4NG4th7ogCkfHgeMceRZdWVc`RbeNbijhmfgha\ gdXg`TfWOfSJfOCcLFfKIhJKjJNlIQnISpHVrHYtG_vGbxFdzF\ fwEguDhrCipBjmBkkAlh9mf8mc3nd8ndCndGndLndPodTodYod\ aodeodgodinejmeklekkelkeljfmifnhfngfogfo7TQHRMQPIZ\ NFgLBpJ8mK9kK9hK9fK9dL9aL9_LAXLAVMATMAQMAOMANN7MMA\ LMCKMEJMHIMJHLLGLOFLQELSDLVCKXBKZAKa9Kc9KeBLbCM`DN\ YEOWFPTGQRHQOIRMJSJKTHLUEMVCMT5NVANWENXJNZNN_SLbYN\ `WOZVPXUQVTRTSOSOSRRVRUZRXaQZeQahQckQelOglOilPklQm\ lRolSqlTslUtlVulWvlYwl_xlaymczmczmczmczmczmczmczmc\ zmczmczmczmczmczmczmczmcz } 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 ;
