At this ; depth the filaments have almost totally degenerated into masses ; of chaos, though filament signs are still visible. The shape of ; concentric circles that is formed by the chaos surrounding the ; minibrot in today's image is typical of the patterns in very ; deep minibrot basins. ; ; I emphasized the chaos in the image by rendering the scene with ; a random color palette and by not using the logmap feature. The ; logmap renderings do bring out the remaining filamentary nature ; of the scene. ; ; The name "Zigging and Zagging-2" could also be something like ; 'Son of Zigging and Zagging' or 'Curse of Zigging and Zagging', ; but these names are too long to fit into the 18-character limit ; set aside for the parameter name. ; ; The rating of 7-1/2 includes a half-point for the coloring, ; which is marginally better than yesterday's. ; ; Being deeper than yesterday's image, today's is also slower, ; taking a full 33-1/2 minutes to finish. Do not bother to switch ; to the passes=g option. In this particular image it is no ; faster than passes=1. ; ; The image may be viewed already calculated on the official FOTD ; web site at: ; ; ; ; It may be viewed in high definition at: ; ; ; ; The original classic FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Partly cloudy skies and a temperature of 81F 27C made conditions ; near perfect for the start of autumn here at Fractal Central. ; The fractal cats gave the day total approval. They stretched in ; the sun, which in autumn and spring comes in the south window at ; a better angle. The humans spent the day relaxing, a chore that ; is sometimes easier said than done. The next FOTD, hopefully a ; bit better than moderately good, will be posted in 24 hours. ; Until then, take care, and perhaps changing the past is the ; reciprocal of knowing the future. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= ZiggingAndZagging2 { ; time=0:33:29.79-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-0.5001\ 906496882479292199908473074/0.61029780299779699662\ 53344018864/5.829431e+027/1/-62.5/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=14000 bailout=9 inside=0 colors=000UKpOHmKEmGBzC8z85z42zEQyDOvCNsCMqBLnBKlA\ Ki9Kf9Kd8Ka8K_7KX7KV6KS5KP5KNAKKFKIKKFPPCUUAZZ8cc5\ hh5in6ej5af5Zb4VZ4SV3OR3LN2UJ2cF1zSzzRzzPzzNqzLlzJ\ dzHUyFPqDKfBMUAPKCUAEZ3Gc2Ih0KmKMrKOmKQmKSmIQlGOgE\ McDKZBIV9GQ8EM6CH4AD3A81A44ld3bW2TO1JG09z6AzBAvA9q\ 98k88g87c76Z66U65PmvmmvmkuhitcgsZerUcqPapK_oFXkEVh\ DTeCRbBP_CNXELUGJRIGOKELMCINAFOAGOAIPBKPCMPDOOENKF\ MHGLDHKAIJ6JI3KH0IG0HF0GE0FD0EC0DB0CC0BE0AG08I07K0\ 6M05O04Q03S02U06W08YA7V96T86R85O75M64K64I53FA3FF2H\ K2KP1PU3UZ6Zc9chCafF_dEYbEX`DVZCTXBRVBQTAOR9MPCKNF\ JLKHKPFKUDKZCKcAKh8Km6Kr5KzU3zP1zJGsHEmFCgDB`B9V98\ U0BT0CS0DR0EQ0GP0IO0KN1MM2OL3QK4SK5UK6TK7QK8NK9KKA\ HKBEKCBKD8KE5KFALKFMPKQUPSZUUaZTcbRaeQ_bOY`N_ZOaWQ\ cUSeWTgYUiaUkeVmbWmZXmWXlVXkTXkRXkPXlNXmLXnJXoHXpF\ XqEYsC_uBawAcz9cz8Ac78I57E45m34m23m21m12qZ1lW1hT1d\ Q1`O1XL1TI0OG0KDdZzaUwZOs } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
