But have ; no fear, we'll soon return to the near-linear stuff. ; ; We check the parent fractal that comes about when a Mandelbrot ; set is caught about halfway through the process of morphing into ; a Z^(3.5) Mandeloid. This parent fractal resembles a Mandelbrot ; set with its head cut off and sprouting more buds and arms than ; an octopus. ; ; Today's scene lies in the area where Seahorse Valley of the ; Mandelbrot set once was located. The valley has long since been ; obliterated, but a bit of scattered debris remains in the ; vicinity. Today's image lies rather deep in some of this debris. ; ; I rated the image at an 8, and this time it *IS* because of the ; coloring, most of which came about serendipitously. (If I had ; created the colors myself, I would have awarded myself the ; standard half-point bonus and rated the image at an 8-1/2. ; ; The image is a fast one. To see it, run the included parameter ; file or visit the official FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; A high-definition is at: ; ; ; ; Paul's original FOTD web site may be reached at: ; ; ; ; Thursday was spoiled by too many clouds here at Fractal Central, ; while occasional showers of rain made things even less pleasing. ; The fractal cats didn't worry about the clouds, though they ; seemed to approve of the temperature of 72F 22C, neither ; stretching out to keep cool nor curling up to keep warm. ; ; The humans had a typical mid-week day. The FOTD is now up to ; date, and unless an antiquing trip arises on Saturday, will ; remain up to date for the foreseeable future. The next one will ; be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and did you hear ; about the Atheist who died and was surprised when he found out ; that he was right? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= ThreeStrikesAndIn { ; time=0:00:57.95-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=FinDivBrot-2 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-0.7815581763978199/-0.0665776945443642\ /3.261242e+011/1/2.5/0 params=3.5/5/0/0 float=y maxiter=1800 inside=0 logmap=84 periodicity=0 colors=00010u10s10q30o40m50j60g70d80a90ZA1WA3TA5QA\ 7NA9KABHACCABDABD9AK6AK9FKBJUENUGRUJUcLZcOacQdmTgm\ VjmYkz_lzamzUSFUVGVXHW_IXaJYcKYfLYhM_jNamOcoPeqQgt\ RjvSmxTitReqPanNYjMUgKQdIM`HIYFEVDASC6RB4PA5N97L98\ J8AI7BI6DI6FI5GI4IJ3JI3LH2MG1OF0PF0RL5SRAUXEVbJXhN\ YnSZtWy1Ht4Kp7MlAOhDQdGS`JUXMWSPYOS_KVaGYcC`e8cg4f\ i0hk4jj8ljBmjFojJqjMrjQtjUvjXwj`yjczjfuliqnllpohrr\ ctu_ur`qp`mnaikaeibagbYecUbcQ`dMZdIXdEdSNlGWs4cs6d\ s7es9esAfsCgsDgsFhsGisHitJjtKjuMkuNkuPkvQlvSlvTlwV\ mwWmxYnxZnx`nyaoycoydozcczcSzYPzTMzNKzIHzCFz7Cw2Aw\ 39w49w58w58w67w77w86w86w95wA5wB4wB4wC3wD3wD3rEBmUJ\ cUQcUYcUdcUlcUzcczUczUczUczKczKczCmtCmuCmuDmuDmuDm\ uDmuDmuGmszmrzmqzmpzmozmmzmlzmkzzjzzizzgzzfzzezzdz\ zczz`zzZzzWzzUzzTzzTzzTzzSzzSzzSzzSzzRzzRzzRzzQzzQ\ zzQzzQzzTzzVzzYzz_zzbzzdzzgzzizzlzznzzqzzszzrzzqzz\ pzzpzzozznzzmzzmzzlzzkzzj } 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 ;
