I have reworked it to bring out the ; effect of translucency at the edges. ; ; The formula behind the action is the MandNewt10, one in a series ; of formulas that I wrote many years ago and have since almost ; forgotten about. I never did figure out exactly what they do. ; ; I have dropped the rating system for the FOYD's. It's hard to ; give proper ratings to images that are mere tweakings of earlier ; scenes. ; ; The name "Emerald" is obviously based on the color scheme. ; ; The calculation time of all these old images is quite brief. ; After all, when I began the FOTD I was using a 100mhz-80486 ; machine. ; ; To see the image without the need for calculation, check Hal's ; web site at: ; ; ; ; Paul's site still has the old version of the image posted. ; ; My own FOTD web site is moving along. The design is pretty well ; worked out. In fact, the first month is almost ready. We will ; upload it in a couple days and see how it flies. I'll post the ; address as soon as the first month is online and we see that ; it's working. If nothing goes wrong, there will be only 166+ ; more months to get posted! ; ; Thursday was quite chilly but sunny here at Fractal Central. ; The temperature rose from a morning low of 14F -10C to an after- ; noon high of only freezing. The fractal cats fully enjoyed the ; warm sun, but they would have preferred a bit less draft from ; the window. The next FOYD will be posted in a couple days. ; Until next time, take care, and I hear that the world is due to ; end on May 21. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Emerald { ; time=0:00:57.26-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=1950 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandNewt10 center-mag=-0.106416/0/2.38\ /1/90/0 params=5/-1/1/0.5/1/5e-031 float=y passes=1 maxiter=430 inside=255 logmap=yes periodicity=0 colors=0008H78H78H78H78H77I67I67J67J6A66A86AA6AC6A\ E6AG6AI6AJ6AK5AL5AM5AN5AO5AP5AQ5AR59S58T57U56U56U5\ 6U56U56U56U56U55U45U45U45U45U45U45U45U45U45U45U45U\ 45U45V45W45X45Y45Z44_34_34`34`34a34a34a34b34b34c34\ c34c34d34d34d34e34e35f36f27f28g29g2Ag2Bh2Ch2Di2Ei2\ Gi2Ij3Kk3Mk3Ol4Qm4Sn4Un4Wo4Yp4_q5aq5cr5es5gs5it6ku\ 6mv6ov6qw6tx6wy7zz7wz7tz7qy8oy8my8ly9ky9jy9ix9hx9g\ xAfxAexAdxAcxAbxBaxB`xB_wBZwCYwCXwCWwCVwCUwDUwDUwD\ UwDUvDUvEUvETvETvETvETvFTvFTvFTvFTvFSuGSuGSuGSuGSu\ GSuHSuHSuHRuHRuIRtIRtIRtIRtIRtJRtJQtJQtJQtJQtKQsKQ\ sKQsKQsKPsLPsLPsLPsLPsLPsMPsMPrMOrMOrMOrNOrNOrNOrN\ OrOOrONrONqONqONqPNqPNqPNqPNqPMqQMqQMqQMqQMpQMpRMp\ RMpRLpRLpRLpSLpSLpSLpSLoSLoTKoTKoTKoTKoUKoUKoUKoUK\ oUJnVJnVJnVJnVJnVJnWJnWJnWInWInWInXImXImXImXImXImY\ HmYHmYHmYHmYHmZHlZHlZHlZGl_Gl_Gl_Gl_Gl_Gl`GlbGleFl\ hFmkFmnFnqFntFowFozFpzFpz } frm:MandNewt10 {; Jim Muth z=g=pixel, a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), c=real(p2), d=imag(p2), k=real(p3), f=imag(p3): h=z^a+(g-b)*z-g j=c*z^d+g z=z-k*h/j, f <= |h| } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
