But as we advance westward, things ; start getting progressively more wrong. To begin, the main bud ; is far too large. In fact, it's larger than the main bay ; itself. And the second bud is no longer a single bud. It has ; split into two parts. Finally, to make things even worse, ; instead of a single straight negative spike, we have two curved ; filaments, one shooting out, curving toward the north-northwest, ; the other toward the south-southwest. ; ; Today's image lies on the west side of the northern branch of ; the valley separating the oversized main bud from the split ; second bud. The overall pattern resembles the stuff found in ; Scepter Valley, but nothing like those open, chaos-filled holes ; can be found in the true Scepter Valley. ; ; The rating of an 8 reflects my opinion of the image. The name ; "Green Conflagration" refers to the strong emerald green areas ; surrounding the beige central pattern. ; ; The calculation time of under 7 minutes might be considered slow ; by the more impatient fractalists. The way to avoid this minor ; delay is to surf out to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and view the finished image there. ; ; Saturday turned most un-springlike here at Fractal Central, with ; heavy clouds hanging overhead all day, occasional sprinkles of ; rain, a biting northwest wind and a temperature of 48F +9C. The ; fractal cats slept through it. ; ; My day was busy but otherwise not too bad. The next FOTD will ; be posted in 12 hours. That's not a promise, but far more ; likely than not. Until next FOTD, take care, and would the real ; truth please stand up. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= GreenConflagration { ; time=0:06:56.01-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=FinalDivideBrot function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-4.426676332106418/+0.483618434342954/\ 709845.2/1/-37.5/0 params=0.8/2/84/0 float=y maxiter=7500 inside=0 logmap=244 periodicity=6 colors=000KGAKHAKIAKJAKKAKLAKNAKPAMUAOZAQcASh9Um6Z\ r3cv0hz5mzArzFvzKzzPzzUzzZzzczzhzzmzzrzzvzzzEMIEQC\ FTEFVGGYHG_JGbLHdMHgOIiPIlRInTJqUJsWJuXKsTKrPKqMKp\ IKnEKmBKl7Kk4Ji5Ig5He5Gc5Fa5E_5DY5CW5BU5EUAHUEKUIN\ UNPURSUVVU_YUc_UgbUleUphUtjUxiWwiYvh_uhathcsgerggq\ fipfkoflnhioifokcpl`pmYqoVqpSrqPrsMstJsuGtwDtxAuy8\ usJknUaoVdpWgpXiqYlqZnp_lp`koajobiochndgnefmfemgdm\ hclibljakk`kl_klZjjYihXhgXgeWgdVfbVeaUd_TcZTcXSbWR\ aUR`TQ_RP_QPVUSRYVM`XId_Dhb9kd8ig7gi6el5cn4aq3_s2Y\ u4Xs6Wq8VpAUnBUlDTkFSiHRgIRfHUaGXYFZTzaPzcLzbKzaKz\ `Kz_KzZKzYKzXKzWKzVKzUKzTKzSKzRKzTIzVzzXzzZzz`zzbz\ zdzzfzzhzzjzzlzznzzozzqzztzzwzzzzzzBzzCzzDzzEzzFzz\ GzzHzzIzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzdzzgzzjzzmzzozzgz\ z`zzR8zH9z7Gz5Nz4Uz3`z2fz1_zdgzeozfnz_mzTlzMkzFjz8\ fzBbzEZzHVzKRzNNzPJzSFzVBzY7z`4zb5zb5zc6zc7zd7zd8z\ e8ze9zdAzcBzbCzaDz`Ez_EzZ } frm:FinalDivideBrot { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2), esc=(real(p2)+16), b=imag(p1)+0.00000000000000000001: z=(-b)*(z*z*fn1(z^(a)+b))-c |z| < esc } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
