The ; parent fractal vaguely resembles a Mandelbrot set, but the large ; negative bud is missing, replaced by an unbroken, curving west ; shore line of the main bay, while the large north and south buds ; are grossly distorted. Today's scene is located in a small, out ; of place valley on the northwest shore line of the main bay. ; ; The image is one riotous mass of shapes and colors. Most of it ; consists of 'inside' stuff that was brought to life by rendering ; the scene with the inside set to 'fmod'. The image is really ; total chaos with no organizing theme, but there are so many ; fractal nooks and crannies to explore that it has kind of a ; fascinating effect on the viewer. ; ; All this fascination earns the image a rating of an 8. The ; calculation time of over 7 minutes is well above FOTD average, ; but instant relief may be found on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; where the finished image is posted for instant viewing. ; ; Lots of sun, lower humidity and a temperature of 84F 29C made ; conditions near ideal here at Fractal Central on Monday. The ; fractal cats actually gave up their sleeping spots on the tile ; floor and came out to let us know they are still here. My day ; was near normal; tomorrow looks so slow that FL and I might ; decide to take the day off. If the next FOTD is late, you will ; know we did. ; ; Until whenever, take care, and I'm tired of everyone talking ; about the threat of climate change, but doing nothing about it. ; Let's tell our representatives to stop the blather and pass a ; law banning global warming. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= So_Bad_It's_Good { ; time=0:07:18.47-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident passes=1 center-mag=-3.3291178822/+0.2735827664/74216/1/57\ /0 params=3/0.03/1/3/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1800 inside=fmod proximity=0.1 periodicity=6 colors=000aFlbFkdFkfFkgFkiFkkFkoJjmHklFkkDkjBki9kg\ 6nh7lh8kh9ii9hiAfiBeiBdjCbjDajD_jEZkFYkFWkGVlHTlHS\ lIRlJPmJOmKMmLLpGFmLKjPPhUTeYYbab`ffYjkXrsWpqWnoWl\ mVjkVhiVfgVdeUbcU`aUZ_UXZTVXTTVTRTSPRSNPSLNSJLRHJR\ FHRDFSBDRCERDFRDGREHRFIQFJQGJQHKQHLQIMPJNPJOPKPPLP\ PLQOMRONSONTOOUJ2VMDUOOUQZTPnSSiTUdTX_TZVUaQUcLUfG\ VhBVf4Kj6Vn7dr9nuAxpDvlFtgIrcKp_NnVPmRSkNUiIXgEZe5\ aeA`dE_dJZdNYcSXcWWc`VbdUbiTbmSarRavQazQayS`xT_xUZ\ wVYwWXvXWvZVu_Uu`TtaTtbSscRseQrfPrgOqhNqiMpjLwmLsl\ LpkLmjLjiLghLdgLafLZfLYeJXeHWdGVdEUcDTcBcqCYjBScAN\ X9HQ8BJ72B44C56D68E6AF7CG8DH8FI9HI9JJALKBNLBOMCQND\ SODUPEWPEYQFZRG`SGbTHdUIfVIhWJl`NjYLiWJhUHfRFePDdN\ BbK9aI7fK8cI6`G5ZE3WC2UA1T93T95T87S89S8BS7DS7FR6GR\ 6IR6KR5MQ5OQ4QQ4SQ5TUBVXGX`MZcR_fWajacmfdqlftqhvti\ xulwuivtfurbppfiph_om000000000000000000000Gh`HhaIh\ aJhbKhbLhcMidNidOiePifQif } 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 ;
