The little fellow is centered around ; -1.999999117587324 on the X-axis. ; ; But whatever you do, don't be expecting an everyday minibrot ; when you run today's parameter file. Even I have no idea of how ; the scene is oriented. We're in the fourth dimension here, and ; the angle of today's image was found at random by the evolver ; feature of Fractint. ; ; To add to the confusion, the scene was rendered with the ; 'outside' set to 'fmod' with a proximity of 1.5, which changes ; the normally solid outside parts to a series of rubbery, melting ; loops. And it goes without saying that I did ample stretching ; and skewing to create the image. ; ; The melting loops in the image remind me of a famous but rather ; strange painting of melting watches draped over a dead tree ; limb in the middle of nowhere, so I named the image "Persistence ; of Space". (Actually, the artist was more obsessed with ; crutches than watches.) ; ; The rating of a 7 indicates that in my opinion the image is ; notably superior to yesterday's. The calculation time is a very ; brief 20 seconds, and even this brief time may be saved by ; viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and thereby avoiding the calculation. ; ; Tuesday turned into a repeat of Monday here at Fractal Central. ; The temperature reached 86F 30C with low humidity, while the sky ; remained spotted with kodachrome clouds. The fractal cats ; remained lazy. ; ; My day was busy enough, and if all goes well, tomorrow will be a ; repeat. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, ; take care, and I guess we're alone. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= PersistenceOfSpace { ; time=0:00:20.16-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=SliceJulibrot4 passes=1 center-mag=-0.00000000000344397/+0.000000000002282\ 92/3.695823e+011/0.1358/35.8120960583612629/-42.57\ 16308875028773 params=-2.105319376201666/145.16220\ 58778649/0/134.0351573229163/-1.999999117587324/0/\ -1.999999117587324/0/2/-5 float=y maxiter=2147 inside=0 proximity=1.5 outside=fmod symmetry=none periodicity=0 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000H5WF1XH4WI7VJAVKCULFTNITOLSPNRQQRRTQSVQU\ YPV`OWcOXeNYhM_kM`nLapKbsKcvJbyGdxJexLfwOgwQhwTivV\ jvYkv_luamudntfotiptkqsnrspruussrsrotpltoiumfuldvj\ aviZvgWwfTwdRxcOxaLy`IyZFzWCyYDxZEw_Fv`GuaHtbIsdJr\ eKrfKqgLphMoiNnkOmlPlmQknRkoRjpSirThsUgtVfuWevXdwY\ dxYZnWTdUNVTHLRBBP51O95PD9PHDPLHQOLQSPQWSR_WRb_Rfc\ SjgSnkSuoPqnSnmUjmWglYck_`kaXjcUjeRihNhjKhlGgnDfp9\ fr6et1fx3ev5eu7et9dsBdrDdpFcoHcnIcmKblMbjObiQahSag\ UafW`dX`cZ`b`_ab_`d_ZfZYhZXjZWkZVlWYmU_mSbnPdnNgoL\ ipMvoJkoHanFRnDHnB7jIAfPDfOFfOHfOJfOLfNMfNOfNQfNSf\ MTfMVfMXfMZfM`fLafLcfLefLgfKhfKjfKlfKnfKodJmbIl`Hk\ ZHjXGiVFhUFfSEeQDdODcMCbKBaVGLJB`43n76o99oBBoDEpFG\ pHJpJLpLOqNQqPTqRVqQWoQXnQYlQZkQ_iQ`hQagQbeQcdQdbQ\ eaQf_QgZQhYPiWPjVPkTPlSPmQPnPPoOPpMPqLPrJPsIPtGPuF\ PvEQuFRtFStFTsFUrFVrFWqGXpGYpGZoG_nG`nG`mHamHblHck\ HdkHejHfiIgiIhhIigIjgIkfI } frm:SliceJulibrot4 {; draws all slices of Julibrot pix=pixel, u=real(pix), v=imag(pix), a=pi*real(p1*0.0055555555555556), b=pi*imag(p1*0.0055555555555556), g=pi*real(p2*0.0055555555555556), d=pi*imag(p2*0.0055555555555556), ca=cos(a), cb=cos(b), sb=sin(b), cg=cos(g), sg=sin(g), cd=cos(d), sd=sin(d), p=u*cg*cd-v*(ca*sb*sg*cd+ca*cb*sd), q=u*cg*sd+v*(ca*cb*cd-ca*sb*sg*sd), r=u*sg+v*ca*sb*cg, s=v*sin(a), esc=imag(p5)+9 c=p+flip(q)+p3, z=r+flip(s)+p4: z=z^(real(p5))+c |z|< esc } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
