And as a quick glance will ; reveal, the corruption is not limited to the depths. The main ; spike of the parent is infinitely fractured, which has a great ; effect on the minibrots strung along it. ; ; Today's image lies not far beyond the largest minibrot on the ; spike, in the chaos between two totally separated smaller ; minibrots that once were a single minibrot. The actual location ; is very close to the negative X-axis. ; ; The fractional part of the exponent of Z means the image must ; have discontinuities, though they are quite subdued. The most ; obvious one extends out from the central minibrot and heads just ; east of north. This discontinuity breaks the symmetry of the ; pattern around the minibrot, which merely adds interest to the ; overall scene. ; ; The name "Popcorn Eruption" was inspired by the popcorn-like ; elements in the four major lobes of the pattern. This popcorn ; earned the art a rating of an 8. The extra stub near the ; discontinuity earned the math a rating of a 7. ; ; The calculation time of a fireball 40 seconds will prevent ; boredom from arising once the task of setting up the parameter ; file is completed. Checking the finished image on the web sites ; will eliminate even this task. ; ; The image is posted at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; A mix of clouds and sun made today reasonably pleasant here at ; Fractal Central. The temperature of 45F +7C actually felt mild ; for the season. The fractal cats had an average day just like ; the humans enjoyed. ; ; The next FOTD will certainly be posted, though the exact time is ; still in question. Until whenever, take care, and I'm not sure ; if I am a progressive conservative or a conservative progressive ; . . . . or is there a difference? One thing I do know however ; is that, despite being considered an Atheist, I do believe in a ; conscious creative energy. ; ; ; Jim (never discuss politics or religion) Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Popcorn_Eruption { ; time=0:00:40.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MultiExp function=recip center-mag=-186.1208162632915/+0.00000165249515351\ /7.491976e+008/1/-162.5/0 params=2.5/100 float=y maxiter=2500 inside=0 logmap=102 periodicity=6 colors=000bPjaQj`Ti_VhZXgYZgX`gWbgVdgUfgTigSlgRngQ\ qgPsgOteOtcNtaUt`ZuZcuXcuWcuUcvShvRmvPzzzuovzjJmZG\ cNDUBAK08E8LFGYMNjLLhLJfLHdKFbKD`JCZIAXF8VF6TD4RA2\ P51OB7KHCGMICNN8OT4OY1NZ6NZANZENZJNZNNZRM_WM__M_cM\ _hM_lM_p_p7z4Fx8HwCJvGLuJMtNOsRQrUSqYToaVndXmhZll_\ koajsciwehzfgxgfvgetherhdphcniblibjiahj`fj`ej_beZ_\ aYYYXVUWTPVQLUOHTLDSJ9UMDVOHWRKXTOYWRZYV_`Y`baaedb\ ghcjkdloeorfqvgsyepldm`bjOagC`d0KkB4rL7sO9sRBtTDtW\ FtZIu`KucMueOvhQvkTwmVwpXwsZxu`xxbxzdageFQVNZKVgNW\ ePXdSXcUYbWZaZZ``__b`Ye`XgaWibVlbUncTpcSmcXkc`hcdf\ chdcllcUjmSimQhmOgmMemKdmIcmGbmEamHarKarMarParRarU\ arXarZaraazzbzzbzzbzzbzzbzzbzzbzzmszmtzmuzmozzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzrzztzzuzmssmttmutmvumwumxvm\ yvzzwzzwzzxzzxzzyzzyzzxzzxzzwzzwzzvzzvzzuzzuzztzzt\ zzszzszzszzkzzczzWzzOzzGzz8zz0zz2zz3zz5zz6zz7zz9zz\ AzzCzzDzzEzzFzzFzzGzzGzzD } frm:MultiExp { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2), b=imag(p1)+0.00000000000000000001: z=z*z*fn1(z^(a)+b)+c |z| < 100000000 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
