To create the ; image I combined 1/2 negative part of Z^(-4.5) with 1-1/2 ; negative parts of Z^(-1.5) and added (1/C). ; ; The terraced effect was achieved by rendering the image with the ; inside set to 'tdis'. The name "Top of the Crop" is a bit mis- ; leading. Actually, the image is the top of nothing. ; ; The calculation time of 2-5/6 minutes is reasonable, but even ; this brief wait may be avoided by viewing the already-calculated ; image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; As for that photograph of the tattooed woman on the web site, I ; don't think the photo is faked. The foreshortening where the ; fractal wraps around the woman's sides would be difficult to ; pull off this convincingly. Most likely the fractal is some ; kind of dye transfer, and the woman and photographer planned ; the picture together. The effect would have been more convin- ; cing if they had eliminated the iteration bands. ; ; Far too much heat filled the air here at Fractal Central on ; Thursday. The temperature of 97F 36C was made bearable only by ; the relatively low humidity. The fractal cats must have agreed, ; for they clung to the cool kitchen floor like flies to flypaper. ; ; My day was busier than expected, but things should slow to a ; more reasonable pace on Friday. The next FOTD will be posted in ; 24 hours. Until then, take care, and to be a reasonable person, ; one must have faith that the things observed by the five senses ; are the ultimate reality. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Top_of_the_Crop { ; time=0:02:50.05-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-0.9696532311581735/+2.282990570495556/\ 7.206449e+011/1/151/0 params=-0.5/-4.5/-1.5/-1.5/0\ /0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1600 inside=0 outside=tdis periodicity=0 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000JBWJBYJB_EBZJBYJBYJBXJBXJBWJBVJAUJ9SJ8RI\ 7PH6LG5JD4EB5BD6CD7EE8HG9JI9MKBOMDPOFQPIQQLRRORSQS\ TRUSSXSTYSUZSV_SW`SWaSXbSXcTXdSWeSWfSVgKK`A0LzZ6zP\ 8vK9rHAqFBqACr5Ew0Fw0Gw0Hw0Iw0Kw0Lm0Mc0NY0OW0QU0RS\ 0SQ0TP0UzzRzjzzzczjzzjzzzczjzzzGzjzzzcz`Gz`Gv`HvjF\ u`FujFt`FtjFt`FsRFsQFrPIrOIqNIqMJpLJpKJoJJoIJoHJpG\ MpGOpFRqFTqEWqEYrD`rDbrCesCgsBjsBltAotAqtAssClrEeq\ FZpHSoJLoKElJHjJJhJLfJNdIPbIR`ITZIVWHYUH_SHaQHcOGe\ MGgKGiIGkGGmJFhMEcOEZRDVTDQWCLZBH`BCcA7eA3_E7UHBOK\ EINIDQLEUIEYFE`DEdAEh8Ek5Eo3Es0Ev0Gt0Is0Jq1Lp2Mo3O\ m3Pl4Rk5Si6Uh7Vg7Xe8Zd9_bAaaBb`CdZCeYDgXEhVFjUGkTG\ mWHnYHp_IqaIscJteJvgKwiKykLzmLzoMzqMzsMzpNymOvjPtg\ QqdRoaSlZTjWUgTUeQVbNW`KXYHYWEZTB_R8`O5aM3aP4bS5cV\ 6dX7eYGdYOdYWdYcd_dd`edaedbfdcgddgdehdfidgidhjdjkd\ kkdlldmmdnmdondpodqodrpdsqdtqdshZr_UrSOqJJpADp28q6\ Br9DrDFsGIsKKtNMjBZjBakBc } 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 ;
