But by counting the ; arms of the stars, I soon found the main bud, which is actually ; one of the smaller buds on the shore line of the main bay. ; Today's scene lies in the valley leading to this bud, which ; actually is the Seahorse Valley of the parent Mandeloid. ; ; I rated the image at an 8. If I had had more time to work on ; the colors, I might have raised the rating to a 9. ; ; But even a rating of an 8 is a bargain when the calculation time ; is a mere 1-2/3 minutes. Those who are not bargain shoppers may ; view the finished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Near perfect summer-like conditions prevailed here at Fractal ; Central on Saturday. The temperature reached a delightful 79F ; 26C under cloudless blue skies and a refreshing breeze from the ; west. The fractal cats enjoyed the conditions while sleeping. ; ; My day was reasonably pleasant at the garden store, while FL was ; in her glory. The next FOTD will be posted in about 24 hours. ; Until then, take care, and be skeptical of zealous skeptics. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= In_a_Minor_Seahrse { ; time=0:01:40.73-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip float=y center-mag=+0.021047652834869/+0.7303394840536240\ /3.1714e+011/1/-150/0 params=1/1.1/-1/-1.1/0/0/0/0 maxiter=2400 inside=0 logmap=233 periodicity=6 colors=00010A20A30A40A52A64A76A88A9ACACFBEGDHKEKPG\ NUJScLXmObrQgvTmzVrzXtzTwzPzzLITI5SL9QNCOPFNRILTLK\ VPIXSGZVF`YDb`CddAfg8hj7jm5lp4jk5hg6gc6eZ7cV8bR8`M\ 9ZIAYEAVLBSRBPXCNbCKhDHnDFtDErEDqECoEBnEzsEzqFxnFw\ mKtmSqmUnmWkmYhm_emacmccmecmgcmicmkcmmcmocmqcmscmu\ cmwcmzcmzcmzamz_mzYnzWozUpzSqzPrzMqzNqzOqyQqxRqwTq\ vUquWptXpsZpr_prapsbptdpteougouhovjowkowmoxnoxmlwl\ jwlhwkewkcwjawjZwiXwiVwhSwhQwgOwgMweLtcKrGBIbKo`Jm\ ZIjYIhWHeVHcTGaRFZQFXOEUNESLDPJCNICKGBIoD4lC5iC6fC\ 7cC8`C9YCAWBBTBCQBDNBEKBFHBGiQ0gP1fO2eO2cN3bM4aM4_\ L5ZL6YK6XJ7VJ8UI8TH9RHAQGAPGBOFCMECLEDKDEICEHCFGBG\ sdeqbcoabm`akZ`jY_hXZfVYdUWbTVaRU_QTYPSWORVMQTLPRK\ NPIMNHLMGKKEJIDIGCHpakkZgg`ccc`_hXVmURrQNvNJzJkz4`\ z8QzCczh`zeZzbWz_UzXRzUPzRMzOzzLzzIzz4zz6zz7zz9zzA\ zzCzzDzzFzz6zz7zz7zz8zz8zz9bz9`zA_zAYzBXzBVzBUzCSz\ CRzDPzDOzEMzELzFJzFIzGGzG } 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 ;
