Returning late in the day on Saturday after an antiquing ; trip, I found myself pressed to find a worthwhile fractal in a ; hurry. After all, the date is 10-10-10, and I would never want ; to permit such a notable date pass without an unusual fractal. ; ; Once again, my old friend the Mandelbrot set came to the rescue. ; Checking the East Valley area of the large minibrot on the main ; stem, I found today's curious minibrot. At first the shy fellow ; made little impression, but as I began changing and cycling the ; colors, the present color palette suddenly fell into place. ; ; Ninety-percent of the coloring was done by the Fractint program, ; which occasionally appears to be almost conscious of the things ; it is doing. I needed to tweak only a few registers to create ; the image. The rating of an 8.5 is fully justified. ; ; The name "Lost in Hyperspace" describes the actual physical ; location of the scene. The calculation time of 35 seconds will ; waste no one's time. And as always, the finished image is avail- ; able for instant viewing on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Perfect weather prevailed once again here at Fractal Central on ; Saturday, with conditions an exact repeat of yesterday's. The ; fractal cats likely spent the day sleeping, watching the leaves ; turn colors and checking the stray cats that wandered into view. ; ; My day was as good as could be expected; FL had a similar day. ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and those who fear to delve into the mysteries must remain ; forever unenlightened. But always remember that one person's ; enlightenment is another person's superstition. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Lost_in_Hyperspace { ; time=0:00:35.15-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-1.7798\ 20675627445/+0.00000000003688434/4.650485e+011/1/\ 50/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=40000 inside=255 logmap=-9114 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000QWtQVsPUsOSrORrNQqNPqMOpLMpLLoKKoJJoJInI\ GnIFmHEmGDlGClFAkE9kE8jD7jD6jC5hC5gB5eB5dB5cA4aA4`\ 94Z94Y94X84V83U83T73R73Q63O63N62M52K52J42H42G41F31\ D20231C31B219218106105104002001000wzhmzgcwfUteKqd2\ pc2ob2na2m`2l_2kZ2jY2iX2hW2gV2eU1cU1bT1aS1`R1_Q1YP\ 1WO1UN1SM1RL1QK1PJ1OI1MH1LG1KF0JF0IE0GD0FC0EB0DA0C\ 90A8097086075064043032021010FUHESGDRFDQFCPECODBNDA\ LCAKB9JB9IA8H98G97F86D76C75B65A5495484363253242131\ 121010KZBIWAHU9GS8FQ8DO7CL6BJ6AH58F47D46A358236224\ 1120x9ut8rq8on7lk7ih6fe6cb5`_5YX4VU4TR4QO3NL3KI2HF\ 2EC1B918605302z6ez5dz5cz5bz5bz5az5`z5`z5_z5Zz5Zz4Y\ z4Xz4Xz4WzUVzUVzUUzUTzUTzUSzURzURzUQzUPzUPzUOzUNzc\ NzcMzcLzcLzcKzcJzcIzcIzcHzcGzcGzcFzcEzcEzcDzcCzcCz\ cBzcAzcAzc9zc8zc8zm7zm6zm6zm5zm4zm4zm3zm2zm2zm1zm0\ zz8zz7zz7zz7zz7zz7zz7zz6zz6zm6zm6zm6zm6zm6zm5zm5zm\ 5zm5zm5zm5zm4zm4zm4zm4zzz } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
