With ; today's image, I will try to return to the usual every-day ; schedule of FOTD's. I make no promises however -- not in this ; world where the unexpected can always go wrong. ; ; Normally, not much can be done with quintic minibrots. They ; tend to all look the same. But when calculated with the ; FinDivBrot-2 formula, the quintics can really come to life. ; Today's scene shows one of these quintic minibrots doing a good ; deal more than would be expected from it. ; ; The parent fractal is a corrupt Mandelbrot set, well on the way ; to becoming an order-5 Mandeloid. Today's scene is located in a ; tiny spurious valley on the negative X-axis. ; ; The name "Pentagon Parameters" is little more than a play on ; words. The rating of a 7 might be a little excessive, but so ; what? Tomorrow, I might decide the image is worth only a 5. ; ; The image may be seen and appreciated by running the included ; parameter file. The running time of a mere 30 seconds will make ; the task a minor one. ; ; The image may be accessed without the need for calculation at ; the currently active web site at: ; ; ; ; The original FOTD web site may still be accessed at: ; ; ; ; The address of my own web site will be announced in a matter of ; a day or two. ; ; Thursday proved to be very unpleasant here at Fractal Central. ; Heavy clouds filled the sky, while the temperature hovered ; around 39F +4C and a misty drizzle fell most all day. The ; forecast is for several inches of wet sloppy snow overnight and ; on Friday. The fractal cats were unconcerned with outside ; conditions, and spent the day wishing they could have the excite- ; ment the old fractal cats had when they spent their days back at ; Old FC, exploring the holly hollow at the bottom of the yard. ; (Actually, the two pairs of fractal cats never met.) ; ; The day of the humans on Thursday was once again busy, mostly ; with ironing out the pesky problems that keep arising on the ; new FOTD web site. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours, or ; maybe 48 hours if unexpected problems arise. Until next time, ; take care, and if two people dream they are observing the Statue ; of Liberty, is it the same statue image they are experiencing? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= PentagonParameters { ; time=0:00:30.26-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=FinDivBrot-2 function=recip maxiter=400 center-mag=-1.380477612401757/+0.0031445704992233/\ 5.8e+12/1/-4.25/0 params=5/500/0/0 float=y inside=0 logmap=82 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=00089UAAUCCUEEUGGUIIULLUOOURRUUUUZYVcaPheKm\ iLrmOppRssUvvXzzzzzzzzzzzz00FztFupDqlCnh9kd6i_3jW5\ kT6kQ7iN8eJ9cGAaDB_ACYBIWBOUBUSB_QBeOUCHzzGuzFqzFn\ zEjmEfcDcUD_OCXHCTFBPDBMCAIAAF9EDGHCUKBcOAmR9zU8zc\ BzmDzmGz_IoaKpbNpcPpeRpfUphWqiYqk`qlbqmdqUOsA8uBBq\ CEnCHkDKgENdEQaFTZGWVGZSHaPHcMJgPLjSMnUOqXPtZKikGZ\ wJXuMWsPVqSUoVTmYSk`RicQgfOeiNclMaoL_rKYuJWxIUzHTt\ LSnOSiRScUSZXST_SObSIeSDhS7kS2nS5jU7fVAbXCZYEVZHR`\ JNaMJcOFdQCeNEcKGbII`FJ_CLZANX7PW5QV9RXDSZHT`LUbPV\ cTWeXXg`YidZjh_ll`npapsaqp`mm_jjZggYdzXazWZzVWzUSz\ TPzSMzRJzQGzmDzmAzm7zm7zm7zm7zm7zm7zm7zm7zm7zm8zm8\ zm8zm8zm8zm8zm8zm8zm8zm8zm8zm8zm8Gm8Gm8Gm8jmEimDhm\ DhmDgmDgmDfmDfmDemDemDdmCdmCcmC7zyuz5hzkgzjfzjezjd\ zjczjbzjgzmbzjZzhUzeQzcLz`HzZ5zI9zQDzXHzdLzkLzsOzr\ QzrSzrUzrWzrQznLzjGzfBzcmzynzvnztnzqnzoozmozjozhwz\ gtzfqzfozflzfFzADzBCzBBzC } frm:FinDivBrot-2 { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2), esc=(real(p2)+16), b=imag(p1): z=(b)*(z*z*fn1(z^(a)+b))+c |z| < esc } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
