The thing that caught my eye ; is the area at the center of the frame, where the basins of two ; minibrots have blended into a single oblong gully with a saddle- ; shaped ridge at the center. ; ; The whole thing sounds a bit more impressive than it looks ; however, so I could rate the image no higher than a 6. The name ; "The Twin Peaks" is rather misleading. Actually, the two ; minibrots lie at the centers of basins, so perhaps I should have ; named the image 'The Twin Basins'. ; ; Most of the detail was achieved by rendering the scene with the ; outside set to 'tdis', which colors the points according to the ; total distance they travel before escaping. ; ; The calculation time of 33 seconds is brief by any standards ; beyond those of the sub-atomic realm, so little time will have ; been wasted if the calculation results in disappointment. The ; way to avoid all waste is to view the already-calculated image ; on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Things began warming up here at Fractal Central on Friday when ; the temperature reached 88F 31C. The fractal cats complained ; about the sun that is now striking their cool kitchen floor a ; little longer and stronger every day. ; ; In my department things went well enough. If all continues to ; go well, the next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. But if the ; antiquing bug bites, it could be delayed 12 hours or so. Until ; whenever, take care, and if we are emergent phenomena, where ; were we before we emerged? If the answer is 'nowhere', then ; what is the chance of each particular individual conscious mind ; ever coming into existence at all? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= The_Twin_Peaks { ; time=0:00:33.51-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=FinDivBrot-2 function=recip center-mag=-0.1603922722475426/+1.037581962846677/\ 1.920161e+010/1/-40/0 params=6/50000/0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 outside=tdis periodicity=6 colors=000OZOPYMQWKRUISSGTQEUQATPCSODRNFQMGPMHOLJN\ KKMJMLINKIOJHQIGRHFTGEUFEVEEWDDXDDXCCYBCZBC_AB`9Ba\ 9Ba8Ab7Ac7Ad69e59f59f6Ae7Bd7CcKRL8Db8Da9E`AF`AG_BG\ ZBHYCIXzzzzzzzzzyzzyzzyzzxyzxxzwwzwvzwtyvrxtpwqnun\ lskjqggmdej`cgY`dUZaRXZNVWKTTIQQGNmEKmUazPXz4qz7le\ AhaCdYF_UIWQ48G69H7AI9BIACJCDJDEKFFKGGLIHLJIMi70g8\ 1f82e93d94cA5bA6aB7`B8_B8ZC9YCAXDBWDCVEDUEETFFSFFR\ FGQGHPGIOHJNHKMILLIMHaPI`OI_OIZO9Q78U87Y97`A6dB5hD\ 5kE4oF3sG3vH5rL7oO9lRAhUCeYEb`GZcHWfJTjLPmNMpOJsNM\ pNPnNRkNUiNWfNZdN`aNc_NeYTbUY`QbZMgXIjUElVFnVGoVGq\ WHrWHtWIuWIsUJrSKqRKpPLnNMmMMlKNkJNiHOhFPgEPfCQdAR\ c9Rb7Sa6Sb7Vc7Xd7_d7ae7df7fg7ig7kh7ni7pj7sj7uV2lNH\ mFVm8hmXVfuH_qIYnJWkKUhKSeLQbMP_NNXNLUOJRPHPRIOPGO\ NFOLDOKCNIBNG9NF8ND6MB5MA4M82M61M50P64R77T8AV9EXAH\ ZBK`COcCReDUgEYiF`kGcmHgoIjxCoqImkOldUjZZiSdgMjfGo\ eHmcIkaJi_KgYLfWMdUNbSN`Q } frm:FinDivBrot-2 { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2), esc=(real(p2)+16), b=imag(p1): z=(b)*(z*z*fn1(z^(a)+b))+c |z| < esc } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
