But ; unattractiveness does not always mean hopelessness. Yesterday's ; unusually attractive image is actually located deep in the stuff ; filling the interior of today's minibrot. ; ; What we have in today's image is a minibrot caught about halfway ; through the process of morphing from quadratic to quintic. And ; like a caterpillar halfway through its metamorphosis into a but- ; terfly, the present appearance is rather unattractive. ; ; Considering all this, I could rate the image no higher than a ; humble 3. The good news is that the image calculates in a hyper ; 51 seconds. The better news is that the finished image is ; posted for instant viewing pleasure on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Morning clouds gave way to afternoon sun here at Fractal Central ; on Saturday, while the temperature reached a high of 61F 16C. ; The fractal cats were glad when the sun appeared just in time ; for them to enjoy their afternoon nap in the sunny window. My ; day was about average. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and line up to choose your messiah. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= The_Worst_Minibrot { ; time=0:00:51.05-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=DivideBrot5 passes=1 center-mag=-20.72757404199032/+111.7489204233713/\ 316.95/1/137.5/0 params=5/100 float=y maxiter=2500 inside=0 logmap=24 periodicity=10 colors=0007FT9GUBHVCIWEJXFKYHLZJM_KN`MOaNPcPQeRRgS\ SiTTiRSkQRhMQdIOaCMXFITJDOWIPeLTnNUvNPuQQrSQnUQkWQ\ iYQf_QfaQecRdeRcgRbiRakR`mR`oRZmPXlOWkNUjMSiLRgJPf\ INeHMdGKcFIaDH`CF_BDZADV4CY9B`DAcI9fM8iQ6gR5iR4kR3\ mS2mS1mS5mR8mQCmPFmOJmNMmMQmLTmLRmOPmRNmULmXJm_Hmb\ FmdDmgBmj9nm7qp5ts3wv1yx7yjCyXIyJNy6Mw9MvBLtDzsFzt\ KzuPzvUzwZzxczyhzzmzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzAzzIzzQ\ zzMzzSzzZzzYzzYzzYzzYzzYzzYzzYzzYzzYzznzzkzzhzzezz\ bzz_zzgzzfzzezzdzzczzbzzazz`zz_zzZzzYzzEzzHzzKzzNz\ zQzzTzzWzzizzhzzgzzfzzezzdzzczzbzzazz`zz_zzZzzYzz0\ zz3zz5zz7zz9zzBzzDzzFzzHzzKzzMzzOzzQzzSzzUzzWzzuzz\ rzzpzzmzzkzzizzfzzdzzazz_zzezzbzz_zzozzmzzkzzizzgz\ zezzczzazz_zzazzKzzMzzOzznzzlzzizzfzzczz`zzYzzVzzS\ zzQzzRzzXzzSzzTzzTzzUzzVzzWzzWzzXzzYzzYzzYzzYzzYzz\ YzzYzzYzzYzzuzzszzizzkzzn } frm:DivideBrot5 { ; Jim Muth z=0, c=pixel, a=real(p1)-2, b=imag(p1)+0.00000000000000000001: z=sqr(z)/(z^(-a)+b)+c |z| < 1000000 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
