The resulting parent fractal ; is a fairly undistorted Mandelbrot set facing ESE, with a main ; stem that divides finer and finer like a tree, and a starburst ; of brilliant rays radiating from its Elephant Valley. ; ; The scene is located on one of the smaller branches near the tip ; of the main stem. My original idea was to find a midget on one ; of the bright rays radiating from Elephant Valley, but a bit of ; exploration showed that the inner detail of the rays is not ; critical, and therefore all apparent trails to midgets in this ; area will terminate in dry valleys. ; ; I named the image "Somber Iterations". Its funereal deep blue ; colors can hardly be called joyful. I rated the image at a 7 ; because even though it is not the most joyful of all time, it ; gets across its somber mood quite well. ; ; The calculation time of 23 seconds on the fast machine would be ; stretched to a still-fast 3 minutes on the slow unit. But the ; fastest and most convenient way of all to see the finished image ; is to view it on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; This near-perfect weather is becoming boring. Sunday brought ; sunny skies, a temperature of 81F 27C, low humidity and gentle ; winds to Fractal Central. The fractal cats alternated between ; sleeping, eating, and playing. I spent the day taking it as ; easy as possible, which sometimes is not very easy. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. With any luck, it ; will be better than today's. Until then, take care, and seek ; variety. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Somber Iterations { ; time=0:00:23.61-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident passes=1 center-mag=+1.87733087363559300/-0.418404669709162\ 10/6.633367e+009/1/-132.5/0.000892639664598786353 params=1/1.06/1e-007/10/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=600 inside=0 logmap=41 periodicity=10 colors=000AACAAFAAIAALABOAERAHUEKXIO_MRbRVeVYgZaib\ dkghrllzzzmzzzzzzzomziKzcKzYKcSkXMiTGhPAgQDhRFiSHj\ TKkUMkVOlWQmXTnYVoZcz_mz`czaczaezbcpc`obZn`TmWNbRI\ SMCHHF6IKDJPKJSRKUXKWcLYjL_lPanSclVcjYch`cfccdfcbi\ c`lcZocYkcVhcTecRbcP_cNXcLUcJRcHOcELcCIcAFc8Cc69c4\ 6c23c02c62cB2cH2cM2cR2cX2ca2cg2hl2mqKra`vMzz7zz9zz\ BzzDzzFzzHzzIzzKzzMzzOzzQzzRzzTzzVzzXzzZzz_zz`zzaz\ zbzzczzdzzezzdzzdzzczzczzbzzbzzazzazz`zz`zz_zz_zzZ\ zzYzzXzzWzzVzzUzzTzzSzzRzzRzztzzrzzpzzoSzmQzkOzjMz\ hKzfIzeGzcEzaCz`BzVBzQAzLAzG9zB9z6Az87z97zA6zC6zD5\ zE4zG4zH3zI3zK2zL3zM4zBEzDNzEWzGdzHmzJvzKwzKwzKwzK\ wzKxzKxzKxzKxzKyzKyzKyzKyzKzzKzzKzzzzzzxzzvzztzzsz\ zqzzozznzzlzzjzzizzgzzezzdzzbzzzzKzzKzzGzzCzz9zz5z\ z2zz4zz5zz6zz6zz6zz6zz6zz6zz8PzzOzzOzzNzzNzzMzzMzz\ LzzLzzKzzKzzJzzJzzJzzMzzPzzRzHUzFWzDZzB`z9hz9izGiz\ MizTizZYzdNziCznAzpPzcMzd } 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
