The resulting parent ; Mandeloid again appears much like the non-critical one that ; results when Z is initialized to zero. Today's scene lies in a ; bit of debris inside the period 2 bud on the NNW shore line of ; the main bay of the parent. (The 'bud' on the negative X-axis ; of the parent Mandeloid is not a true bud.) ; ; I named the image "Island Universe". The name refers to the ; central fractal complex, which because of the coloring, appears ; to be an island. ; ; Today's ratings have dropped from those of the previous FOTD ; fractal. The reason is partly the growing familiarity of the ; theme and partly the image itself, which is adequate, but not ; really good or great. ; ; Perhaps the best feature of the image is the calculation time of ; a fireball 40 seconds. This high-speed calculation will leave ; no spare time for impatience to raise its ugly head. As is ; always the case with FOTD images however, satisfaction with the ; result is not guaranteed. The web sites will make satisfaction ; more likely however. ; ; Those who prefer doing it the easy way may view the finished ; image at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; Exciting weather prevailed here at Fractal Central today. Until ; 5pm it was partly cloudy, very hot and humid, with a temperature ; of 95F 35C. But things changed by 6pm when a whopper thunder- ; storm moved in with high winds, torrential rain, crackling ; lightning and even a few small hailstones. The fractal cat ; weathered the storm well enough until lightning struck a ; transformer a half block away, causing a brief power outage, ; when he sought a more secure place. After the storm, the ; temperature was a far more comfortable 72F 22C. As one who ; enjoys wild weather, I had an enjoyable day. FL endured the ; action until the storm died down. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in the proper time. Until whenever ; that might be, take care, and to bomb or not to bomb . . . that ; is the question. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Island_Universe { ; time=0:00:40.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix3a function=ident center-mag=-0.0938330879721098/+0.8852092567717744\ /1168124/1/35/0 params=0.1/2/1/3/0.5/6/0.01/-1/\ -0.2602855645470608/0 float=y maxiter=500 inside=0 logmap=13 periodicity=6 colors=000000000000000WzvSpoOhhKc`GWQCNA8E34610000\ 00000zJZzIXzHWzGUzRKzVKzYJzaJzdJzgJzqJzwJzzJzwLzmM\ zeNzaPzYQWURVQTVMUVJVWIUXITYISZIS_HR_HQ`HPaHPbGOcG\ NcGMdGMeFLfFKgFJgFJnEVtDfuFeuGevHevIewJewKelWYbfRT\ qKRpJPpINpHLzGKzFIzEGzEEzDDzCBzB9zA7z96z99zCBzFDzI\ FzLHzOKzRMzUOzXQz_Sza`zgizmNzrPzpQznRzlSzjTzhUzfVz\ dWzcUzaYz_ZzY_zW`zUazSbzRbzLazGZzKWzNTzRQzUNzYKz`H\ zdEzgBzk9znGzdMzVKzRIzOGzLEzHCzEBzBDzCFzCHzDJzDLzE\ NzEPzFQzFRzIRzLRzOSzRSzUSzXTz_TzbUzdVzRWzTXzUYzWZz\ XZzgZzqWzmUziRzfPzbMz_KzWHzTFzPCzMAzI8zFAzzCzHEzIG\ zJHzKJzLLzLNzMPzNQzOSzPUzQWzRXzRZzS`zTazTczUdzUfzV\ gzWizWjzXlzXmzYozZpzZrz_sz_nzZizYezX`zWXzVSzUOrUPp\ SPoQQnPQmNRlLRkKSjISiHTgFTfDUeCUdAVc8Vb7Wa5W`4`b6e\ d7je9ogAtiCyjDuaIqTMmLQlLPkKPiKOhJNgINeIMdHLcHLaGK\ `GJ_FIYEIXEHWDGUDGTCFSCFSCEQBEPADOACM9B00zK8AI89H7\ 9G68E67D57C56A45944834623 } frm:MandelbrotMix3a {; Jim Muth z=real(p5), c=fn1(pixel), a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=real(p3), h=imag(p3), j=real(p4), k=imag(p4), l=imag(p5)+100: z=(a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f))+(g*(z^h))+(j*(z^k))+c, |z| <=l } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
