The parent fractal produced by this ; unlikely combination is an undersized Mandelbrot set with two ; open areas some distance to the west. Today's scene lies on the ; north shore of the southern open area, near what appears to be a ; mostly-obscured rudimentary East Valley trying to get organized. ; The buds along this rudimentary valley are not yet fully formed, ; but appear to be of a cubic nature. ; ; The image's stripes were achieved by rendering the image with ; the outside set to the 'tdis' option. ; ; The colors themselves are based on the Fractint default palette, ; though I have made many changes in this not-very-attractive ; color scheme. ; ; The name "Night Watch" is a comment on the overall darkness ; pervading the scene. ; ; The rating of 7-1/2 is as good a guess as I could make about the ; final value of the image. Any rating excess is made up for by ; the very fast calculation time of around one minute. ; ; But fractal calculation can be tedious. So be smart and avoid ; calculation altogether by viewing the finished image at: ; ; ; ; Sharper renderings are or soon will be online at: ; ; ; ; The back images are posted at: ; ; ; ; About 3/4 inch (2cm) of snow fell overnight here at Fractal ; Central, but the high temperature of 34F +1C had disposed of it ; by mid-afternoon. The fractal cat kept careful watch over the ; situation, then, when he saw that everything was under control, ; retired to his blanket on top of the tall bookcase. The humans, ; who also prefer things to remain under control, spent the day ; keeping them that way. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted when it is ready, with no promises ; stated or implied. Until next time, whenever that may be, take ; care, and if technology is making our lives ever better, why are ; so many people so unsatisfied with their lives? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Night_Watch { ; time=0:01:00.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident float=y center-mag=+0.1714951778975432/-0.0040565105431643\ /2.40102e+007/1/110/0 params=4.71/3/3.14/4/0/0/0/0 maxiter=1500 inside=255 outside=tdis periodicity=6 colors=000zzezz0zzezz0zzezz0zzezzLzzzzzLzzzzzLQRQR\ RR000000555888BBBEEEHHHKKKMMMOOOPPP___ccchhhmmmsss\ zzz00zG0zV0zj0zz0zz0jz0Vz0Gz00zG0zV0zj0zz0jz0Vz0Gz\ 00z00zG0zV0zj0zz0jz0Vz0GzVVzbVzjVzrVzzVzzVrzVjzVbz\ VVzbVzjVzrVzzVrzVjzVbzVVzVVzbVzjVzrVzzVrzVjzVbzhhz\ lhzqhzuhzzhzzhuzhqzhlzhhzlhzqhzuhzzhuzhqzhlzhhzhhz\ lhzqhzuhzzhuzhqzhlz0zS7zSEzSLzSSzSSzLSzESz7zz0zz0z\ z0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz7zzEzzLzzSzzSzzSzzSzzSzzSzzS\ zzSzzSzzOzzLzzHzzEzzEzzEzzEzzEzzEzzEzzEzzEzzHzzLzz\ OzzSzzSzzSzzSzzSzzSzzSzzSzzSzzQzzOzzMzzKzzKzzKzzKz\ zKzzKzzKzzKzzKzzMzzOzzQzzSzzSzzSzzSzzGzzGzzGzzGzzG\ zzCzz8zz4zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz4zz8zzCzzGzz\ GzzGzzGzzGzzGzzGzzGzzGzzEzzCzzAzz8zz8zz8zz8zz8zz8z\ z8zz8zz8zzAzzCzzEzzGzzGzzGzzGzzGzzGzzGzzGzzGzzFzzD\ zzCzzBzzBzzBzzBzzBzzBzzBzzBzzBzzCzzDzzFzzGzzGzzGzz\ Gzz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz007K } 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 ;
