The parent fractal of the new ; world came about when I combined Z^(-3) with 2 parts of Z^(-1.2) ; and added (1/C). This parent fractal is indescribable, but it ; basically consists of an over-sized figure-eight and a smaller ; Mandeloid with no East Valley. The whole works is surrounded on ; its south side by an even larger sinuous loop. Today's scene is ; located somewhere between the figure eight and the Mandeloid. ; ; At first glance, the image resembles a very deep one, with a ; magnitude somewhere around 10^25. Actually, the magnitude is ; only 10^10, which means no arbitrary math is needed. (Actually, ; arbitrary math is not available with type=formula fractals.) ; This deceptive appearance explains the name "Not Quite so Deep". ; ; Most of the image's worth is a result of the coloring, which is ; why I rewarded myself with an extra half-point added to the ; already high rating of an 8. ; ; The parameter file runs in a very reasonable 1-3/4 minutes, at ; least on my fractal-dedicated 2000mhz unit. On the old but ; still cooking P5-200mhz unit the image takes over 9 minutes to ; finish. ; ; But all concern about running time may be avoided by viewing the ; completed image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; where immediate gratification is the rule rather than the ; exception. ; ; The weather was dry, but the heavy clouds kept things suppressed ; here at Fractal Central on Wednesday. Strangely enough, the sky ; completely cleared for an hour just after noon, then, after an ; hour of bright warm sun, the clouds returned as quickly as they ; had cleared away. The temperature reached 64F 18C while the sun ; was shining, the rest of the time it hung around 57F 14C. The ; fractal cats were rather sulky most all day, keeping themselves ; occupied by actively ignoring each other. ; ; My day was fair enough. Tomorrow will probably be the same. ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and stand in awe of your world image. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Not_Quite_so_Deep { ; time=0:01:44.32-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+3.010986478661356/+0.0682987406306285/\ 1.616741e+010/1/-107.5/0 params=1/-3/2/-1.2/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=185 colors=00000D00F00H00J00Q00H00_00XQ0RX0OO0dX0ecccc\ cc009000zR8zR8000000Xz7Oz92Eh5FbczzzzS000EGGyzsF`z\ 4`y7Wn9SdCOVEKLzm1NY4LS6IA9CDV000EFL000zJzzIzRHOM_\ oKTaISOTcHMVELTr7dk9beAe`BhWbtVzzVzzzzzVziQz`LxTGx\ KBxC6nGBeKFWNJNRNDVR4YRM_QbaMscIjeOagUUiZLkdDliUbz\ Hkz4sz9ozElzIizNezRbzW_p_XpheiqnbywWreTkOQe7O`EPXK\ PSQQOWQJaRFgRE`YDVcCPzBJzADz9Hz9LzFRzMYVTcP_jI_eK_\ _M_UOZPQZJSZDUY7WVCZSHbPMfLSj`o8VfCPXHJNLDDQIDONDM\ SDKXDHaDFfDDkEAlDGnBNp9Tr7_t5ev3ln7mfBoYFpQJrINs9S\ uFYhLcVSjHPmELzAJpAGzADpAAzA7pA4zB4nB5zB5jB6zB7gB7\ zB8cB9zCxnuozqejlWhgNfcDdZ3aUNZ1LS1IL1FE0HI8JMGMQO\ OVWRZcTbkWgtP_`HXHCUU6Ug0UuKUkHWgD`c9cZ5cV1cQ3cz6c\ BCczJcBQczXcAbZziUzpPzxQ9rNzmKChcEccGZcITcKVcLXcMZ\ cNacODkQEnLFqGTtsQwkOzdMzXKzQzzIzzMzzKzzJzzHzzGzzF\ zzDzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz } 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 ;
