; Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2011 21:11:16 -0500 ; From: Jim Muth ; Subject: [Fractint] FOTD 12-02-11 (At-One-Ment [7.5]) ; Id: <1.5.4.16.20110211211112.15476232@pop.mindspring.com> ; --------- ; ; FOTD -- February 12, 2011 (Rating 7.5) ; ; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: ; ; Today's 7.5 rated image lies in the same parent fractal as ; yesterday's failure of an image. True, it lies in a different ; part of the parent, but this has little to do with the improve- ; ment. Most of the improvement is a result of the additional ; work I put into the coloring. ; ; Yesterday's 3-rated image is just a mass of colors scattered ; haphazardly, with no apparent order, while today's image has a ; unifying theme of subtlety. There are no patches of brilliant ; gaudy colors in today's scene, only a rather soothing blend of ; subtle pastel tints, almost resulting in a gray-scale image. ; Since it did take a bit of effort to achieve this subtlety, I ; rewarded myself with a half-point bonus. ; ; The name "At-One-Ment" spells 'atonement' when the caps and ; hyphens are removed. It indicates that today's image is an ; atonement for the sorry excuse of an image I posted yesterday. ; ; The calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes is certainly a far better ; deal than the 12 minutes required for yesterday's image. And ; even this brief effort may be avoided by checking the currently ; active FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; where the finished image is posted. ; ; The original FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; but the last time I checked, it was not up to date. ; ; Friday here at Fractal Central began with a bone-chilling temper- ; ature of +5F -15C. It warmed to above freezing in the afternoon ; but then a veil of clouds moved in, weakening the sun and disap- ; pointing the two fractal cats. ; ; My day was close to normal. FL is quite enthused about the revo- ; lution in Egypt. I think it has brought back memories of the ; anti-Vietnam War protests she took part in so many years ago. ; (Where did those 40 years go?) ; ; It will not be 40 years before the next FOTD is posted. It will ; be more like 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be ready for ; whatever might be coming. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= At-One-Ment { ; time=0:01:32.22-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip center-mag=+4.743324406103668/+1.399148419346652/\ 1.675267e+010/1/-12.5/0 params=-1.1/-11/-11/-1.1/0\ /525/0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=199 colors=000LANK9MK4MJ8LJ4LI7KI4KH6JH4JG5IG4IF5HF4HE\ 5GE4GD5FD4FC5DC4DB5CB4CA4CA4D94E94E84F84G84H84I84I\ 94I95IA5IA6IB6HB7GC7GC8FD8ED9EE9FEAFFAGFAGGAHGAIHB\ JHBJICKICKJDLJDLKEMKFMLFNLGNMGOMHONHPNIPOIQOIQPJRP\ JRQKSQKSRLTRLTSMUSMUTNVTNVUOWUOWVPXVPXWQYWQYXRZXRZ\ YS_YS_ZT`ZT`_Ua_Ua`Vb`VbaWcaWcbXdbXdbXdcYecYedZfdZ\ fe_ge_gf`hf`hgaigaihbjhbjickickjdljdlkemkemlfnlfnm\ gomgonhpnhpoiqoiqpjrpjrqksqksrltrltsmusmutnvtnvuow\ uowvpxvpxwqywqyxrzxrzyszyszztzztzzuzzuzzvzzwzzwzzx\ zzxzzyzzyzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzyzzyzzxzzxzzwzzwzz\ vzzvzzvzzvzzuzzuzztzztzyszyszxrzxrzwqywqyvpxvpxuow\ uowtnvtnvsmusmurltrltqksqkspjrpjroiqoiqnhpnhpmgomg\ olfnlfnkemlemmdlndlockpckqbjrbjsaitaiu`hv`hw_gx_gy\ `fzafzbezcezddzedzfdzgczhczibzjbzkazlazm`zn`zo_zp_\ zqZzrZzsYztYzuXzvXzwWzxWzyVzzVzzUzzUzzTzzTzzSzzSzz\ RzzRzzQzzQzzPzzPzzOzzOzzN } 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 ;
