This ; does not include a bonus for the coloring, which was largely ; created by the program and merely tweaked by myself. ; ; The name "Bangles and Baubles" reflects my impression of the ; scene, which is filled with trite whirls and spirals adorned ; with flashy colors. ; ; The parent fractal consists of a series of Mandel-like objects ; lined along the Y-axis. It was created when I combined Z^3 with ; 0.203 part of Z^5 and added straight C on each iteration. ; Today's scene lies in the 'East Valley' of a tiny 'minibrot' on ; the Y-axis. I used the quotes because it is a stretch of reason ; to call these features actual valleys or minibrots. ; ; The values of the parameters is extremely critical. The ; slightest change causes the entire image to disappear, and only ; occasionally does something other than a blank screen replace it. ; ; The calculation time of 2-3/4 minutes borders on slowness, but ; the image is flashy and rather worth the effort of calculation. ; It is certainly worth a quick visit to the web sites. ; ; The image is posted already calculated at: ; ; ; ; A high-definition version is posted at: ; ; ; ; All the images from the past 15 years are available at: ; ; ; ; A typical mix of clouds and sun prevailed today here at Fractal ; Central. With the haze, humidity and temperature of 84F 29C, it ; felt like a day in midsummer. The fractal cats were happy with ; the weather, but they have yet to settle who gets ownership of ; the cat cube. The only solution might be to pick up a few more ; cubes. Nicholas actually collapsed the cube himself by accident ; while playing in it. ; ; Unlike people in the movies, the humans of FC had an uneventful ; day. The next FOTD will not appear until Sunday the 27th. We ; are taking a one-day trip back to old FC on Saturday to take ; care of a few chores. Until next time, take care, and I see no ; need to give up on the government schools; they gave up on ; themselves many years ago. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= BanglesAndBaubles { ; time=0:02:45.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident center-mag=0/-2.146042881609609/7.763786e+008/1/\ -90/0 params=1/3/0.203/5/0/0 float=y maxiter=2600 inside=0 logmap=259 periodicity=10 sound=off colors=00000A00A00A00B00C00D00E00F00G00H00I00J00K5\ 5PAAUFFZKKcPPhZZmggrppzuuzzzzztzzozzgzz_zzTzzRzwRz\ qPzkPzfPz`NzVNzPLzKLzFLzAKz5Kz0Kz0Rz0Yz0dz0kz0sz0z\ z0zz0zz0zz0zz0zu0zq0zk0zh0wc0sY0mV0jP0fL0cG0_B0W80\ T30P00N50LA0KF0IK0GP0GT0FY2Dc5Bh8AmB8sD8wAAy6Bu3Do\ 0Do0Fm0Gm0Gm0Io0Ks0Ku0Nq0Pm0Rj0Tf5VcAY_F_WK`RPuLVm\ G_eBcZ8fV5hK3kD0o50q00u00w00u00s0As0Kq0Vo0do0os0ku\ 0hw0dz0`z0Yz0Vz0Rz8NzPKzfGzfDzfAzf6zz5zzyzzGmNLcWR\ _VTWTTVRTRRTPPTLNTILVGLVDKVBIV8GV6oVNzIdz6wz0oq3jm\ AcjGYfNTdTV`VVYVzWVVTVVRWVNWWKWWIWWFYWDYWAYW8YPDcK\ GfDKz8Nz3RzGTzTTzfTksTkwKjyBhz3f`0I0R00R00R03R0AT0\ GT0NT0VV0`Y2hf3oo5uy5zzFzzPzz_zzPyzFozzfzzYzzPzzPz\ zPzzPzzYzzfzzozzyzmzzjzzfzzdzz`zz_zzWzzTzzRzzNzzLz\ zKzzIzzGzzAzzDzzIzzLzzPmzVmzYmz`mzfmzjmzmmzqmzsmzu\ mzwmzymzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzsmz_mzImz0mz0mz0mz0mz\ 3mzAmzGmzNmzTmz_mzfmzmmzu } 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 ;
