As is usually the case ; with these double-negative fractals, the result defies descrip- ; tion. One prominent object, a circular feature with scalloped ; edges, lies on the X-axis however, and today's scene is located ; in the chaos around the edge of this feature. ; ; To make things more interesting, I evaporated the image and ; rendered the resulting blank screen with the inside set to ; 'atan'. I rarely use this fill because it tends to create too ; much chaos in the type of fractals I work with. But in today's ; image, it gives the best results of the active inside fills. ; ; The name "All Empty" refers to the appearance of the screen ; before I applied the 'atan' inside fill. I was totally undeci- ; ded whether to rate the image a 5 or a 6, so I chose a rating ; of 5-1/2. But the render time of 50 minutes is notably slow, ; making the download from: ; ; ; ; the better choice. ; ; Also, my writer's block, or whatever it was, is beginning to ; lift, and I am actually having some reasonably unreasonable ; ideas about the nature of the 'self'. (I temporarily discontin- ; ued my philosophizing almost 3 months ago.) Expect some action ; on the philofractal list in the not-too-distant future. ; ; Brilliant sun and a temperature of 82F 28C kept the fractal cats ; contented on Tuesday. Thomas passed the afternoon lounging in ; the holly grove, while Tippy kept watch from his chair on the ; shaded porch. Nothing out of the ordinary happened, and the duo ; ended the day with a minor treat of tuna. Today is starting ; sunny and warmer. If all else goes well, the day will be good. ; For me the work is light, but not as light as the past week. ; The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, ; and weigh your options. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= All_Empty { ; time=0:50:50.52--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+1.99176572640974100/+0.232877035163978\ 60/29333.33/1/-85/-1.75738329444286023e-009 params=0.54/-0.3/-1.08/-8.8/0/1e+100 float=y maxiter=1200 inside=atan logmap=yes periodicity=0 colors=222zOszezzyzizzzzDzm0ytBrwWopmz01za`222Cz0z\ zyzzzzzzzzzzcDzmVzrewytWkkdrpjyt50zOMyckw3zs222Q90\ zwzzzztzzSb8frdzs0zxJrzgzzNzzZwziuzuhyzzplyxwazEez\ UizfmzpIokTtp`wrgztZzHgzfEwzRyzbzzz_gznpuuueh0gpNm\ yjzwzznz8zck0MiKZhcfooozN0zcNwsj2tzHvzSyzdzzziyzHl\ zbprrrpu0FdOZrhzWctssz0F0CoAUpPgrcrt0PV70z0zVCzcYz\ ozGlz`puuuzm2zqJzvavzrzPdzbkypstttz8zIDKXXYgmkwwwL\ UQzlvzzjzzUtqjXTpNz0Mz6QzMPzWPzeDbS0AF222zzgpzvvzn\ vzttzvtttuuuJUzSdzZmzhwzJ0zUOzflyz0etNlpppzz9uzQsz\ dtzs008FzzYzzSSSjxzkxzlzy0Xz7ezNmzcxy0fbGoiZwrz0Oz\ DZw`iooozzzyzzuzzqzzmhFBGCY1zcTzlpz04rAQtQdtcrusz1\ FZzMuzTvzazzfzvIW0080EUFZmccDfhakppppdzqqznvzy0ztR\ zsqz0YF5mTNtcadkmz9mzWozmzzSzzzUxzazzgzzjzz0BhNfov\ Ezs`zstzzmmwvuwww0ktHruZyvbFFdWUdddprp0u0ByFQzXbzj\ lu0oSzqpzu0Om_gDFBzezzyzzrXzzxzzzzzzzzzylFrrZsypPz\ G_zZhzmzgzxtzyyyz0YzOfrpq } frm:MandelbrotMix4 {; 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, 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========================================= ; ;
