The ; name "Seahorse Splendor" came naturally, perhaps a bit too ; naturally, since I did not check to see if I have used this same ; name previously. ; ; The image lies on the eastern side of the northern branch of ; Seahorse Valley at a depth of 6*(10^10), which is not all that ; deep. It is also one of the fastest images of all time. I ; found it in under 5 minutes, and in S-F5 video mode, it takes a ; whopping 2.8 seconds to finish on the P4-2000mhz machine. ; ; I did put some extra effort into the coloring, but it was worth ; it. The image rates an 8, which is quite high for just another ; scene in Seahorse Valley. ; ; The image may be viewed in all its glory by running the included ; parameter file or by viewing it in finished form on the FOTD web ; site at: ; ; ; ; The skies were cloudy and a few drops of rain fell here at ; Fractal Central on Monday, but the lack of sun put no damper on ; the moods of the fractal cats, who seemed quite happy about the ; pleasantly cool temperature of 75F 24C. In my department things ; were under control also. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and it's hard to put your finger on the universal electron. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Seahorse_Splendor { ; time=0:00:02.80-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel center-mag=-0.7454233979438\ 455/+0.1130116239751243/6.270326e+010/1/165/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=6000 inside=0 logmap=522 colors=000KcmKcmKcmKcmKcmKcmKcmKcmKcmKcmKcmKcmKcmK\ cmKcmKcmKcmKcmKdlLemMfmNgmOhmPimQjmRkmSlmUmmVnlWok\ XpjVqlTrnRsnPtoNupKvqHvsEvuAuvAtvAsvAsvBrvBqvBpwBp\ wCowCnxCmyClzIkzOjzUiz_hz_gz_gz`hzaiz`jz_kzZlzYmzU\ nzQozMpzIqzJrzKszMszOrwQptSmqUinWemYam_YmaUmcQmeNh\ gKciHZkEUmAPlAKkAFjACi9Hh9MgARfBWeB_eFfeImeJo`KqXK\ pSKoOKnJKmDKl8Kk3KjCKaKKUTKL`LDhO5jP6kQ6lR6mU6mW6m\ Y6m_6ma6mcHmdSmePmfMmgKmhHmgFmfCmeAmdFmcKmbXma_m`b\ m_emZhmYknYnmYolYmkYkjWiiUghSedQcaP`YOYVMVULSSJPQI\ MNGJJEGHDDGBAGDAHFAIH9JK89M89O98P97Q97SA6TA6UABXAF\ ZAJ`ANbASdAWfA_hAcjAhlAlnAppAtrAjqD`pGRoJHnM8mP7iS\ 6fV6cY5_`4Xc4Uf3Qi2Nl2Kn5Ll7Mk9NjBOiDPhFPgHQeJRhLS\ kNTnPUqRUtTSwUSzVTzWUzYVzZWz_Xz`_zbZzc_zdazecz`ezX\ gzSizOkzJmzFozBqzNtzYwzXyzXzzXzzXzzWzzWzzWzzWzyVzx\ VzwVzvVzuUzuUztUztUztZzpbzlfzhjzenzarzYvzVszUpzTnz\ SkzSizRfzQdzQazP_zOXzOVzN } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
