; June 15, 1997: Mass Ejection ; ; ejection ; ; Fractal visionaries: ; ; For today's fractal we leave the odd planes and present a fractal that ; is just plain pretty. After all, that's what fractal art is all about. ; I named the picture "Corona" because it reminds me of an eclipsed sun. ; (I think I have another picture named "Corona" on file -- I'm not sure.) ; ; The formula takes advantage of the new if-else feature of Fractint ; 19.6. This formula, which I picked up from this group and added a few ; variables to, draws fractals that are filled with wavy sinuous lines. ; Some of the fractals it draws are remarkably relaxing. If I hadn't ; gotten distracted by the odd slices formulas I've been preoccupied with ; lately, I would have had some real beauties from this formula. ; ; But I still am preoccupied by the formulas that draw the odd slices, and ; I'm finding some real beauties in those obscure planes also. I'll post ; one of my better efforts tomorrow. ; ; My love for art is battling my love for math. I want to see what can be ; done with my if-else formula, and at the same time I'm curious about ; what the oh-so-familiar Mandelbrot set looks like when viewed from ; directions that I can't even imagine. ; ; That's how it is with the world of fractals. No matter how much one ; explores, they will never scratch the surface of all that exists. ; Today's finished image has been posted to a.b.p.f. and a.f.p. as always. ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; START COMBINED FILE FOR 19.6=============================== Mass_Ejection { ; time=0:00:14.88-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=1960 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=IfElse03 function=conj/cotan passes=1 center-mag=0/0/0.4131455 params=0.5/-3/0/0/1/0 float=y maxiter=350 inside=bof60 logmap=yes symmetry=origin periodicity=10 colors=000070R0I0A3ZXJ0A40A40A50B50B60B6THLTHMTIMS\ INSINSIOSJORJPRJPRJPSJPTJPUKPUKPVLPWLPXMPYMPYMPZNP\ _NP`OPaOPbPPbPPcQUdRZeScfThfUmgVrhWriXwjYwj_zkazlc\ zYJOYJPZJPZJQ_JQ_JR`IR`ISaISaITbITbIUbIUcIVcIVdIWd\ IWeHXeHXfHYfHYgHZgHZgHZgIZgJZgJYgKYfLXfLXfMWfNWfNV\ fOVfPVfQUeQUeRTeSTeSSeTSeUReURdVQdWQdWQdXPdYPdYOdZ\ Od_Nc_Nc`McaMcbMcbLccLcdKbdKbeJbfJbfIbgIbhHbhHbiHa\ jGajGakFalFalEamEanD`nD`oD`pC`qC`qB`rB`sA`sAat9cu9\ eu8gv8iw7kv8mu9ktAisAgsBerCcqDcpDcoEdnFdmGemGelHfk\ IfjJgiJghKhhLhgMifNieNjdOjcPkbQkbQlaRl`Sm_TmZTnYUn\ XVoXWoWWpVXpUYpUYpTXpSWoSVoRUnQUnQTnPSmORmOQlNPlMO\ lMNkLNkKMjKLjJKjIJiIIiHHhGHhFGgFFgEEgDDfDCfCBeBBeB\ AeA9d98d97c86c75c74b64b53a52a41`30`30`30`30`31`41_\ 42_42_42_53_53_53Z54Z64Z65Z65Z65Z76Z76Y76Y77Y87Y88\ Y88Y88X99X99X99X9AXAAXABWABWABWBCWBCWBCWBDWCDVCEVC\ EVCEVDFVDFVDFUDGUEGUEHUEH } frm:IfElse03 {; Jim Muth z=y=pixel, a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), c=p2+(p3*pixel), w=0: IF(w) z=fn1(real(y))+fn2(imag(y)), w=0 ELSE z=(y*a), w=w+1 ENDIF z=z^b+c, y=z, |z| <= 100 } ; END COMBINED FILE FOR 19.6================================= ;
