The image ; would normally have been discarded as soon as it appeared, but ; November is the month of salvation for questionable images from ; the Julibrot, so I decided to give today's image a chance to ; show its stuff, or its lack of stuff. ; ; The rating of a 5 is right in the middle of the rating scale, ; which ranges from zero to ten. This leaves it to the individual ; fractal fan to decide whether the 2-1/3 minute calculation time ; would be worth the effort. ; ; The scene lies in the Seahorse Valley complex of the Julibrot. ; I have totally lost track of the location and orientation, and ; of the amount of stretching and skewing I did on the scene, but ; in the end, I was left with an image of a debris-filled hole ; with a brilliant white stripe in the background, which on the ; surface has no resemblance at all to anything normally connected ; to Seahorse Valley. ; ; The name "Valley of Surprise" has something to do with the ; first impression of the image. If one looks closely enough, ; however, they will see tiny hints of seahorse activity every- ; where. ; ; Finally, the 2-1/3 minute wait for the image to calculate may be ; avoided by viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The total sun here at Fractal Central on Tuesday was spoiled by ; a morning temperature of only 23F -5C and an afternoon high of ; 48F +9C. The fractal cats, who spent the day in the indoor ; temperature of 68F 20C fully enjoyed the sun however. My day ; was average. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until ; then, take care, stay alert, and prepare for a bombshell. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Valley_of_Surprise { ; time=0:02:19.88-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=SliceJulibrot2 passes=1 center-mag=-0.512268272656399/+0.0732312476231547/\ 164.2885/5.3623/13.0817225561897121/65.54874842\ 92186195 params=0/0/90/0/-0.76/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=15000 inside=255 logmap=142 periodicity=6 colors=000dWteXsfXqgYohZmi_kj`ikaglbfmbencdodcpebq\ farg`sg`sf_sfZsfZsfYsfXrfXqfWpfWocXn`YmZZlX_kW`jUa\ iSbhScgQdfPeeNfcLgaJh_GiYEjWBkV7nU9lTBjSChREfQFdPG\ bOH`NIXMIXLJVKKTJLRIMPHNNHPLIRJJSHKTFKUDKVBKW9KX7M\ X5OX2QX4SX5UW7SW8QWAOWBMXDKXEIWGGVHEUIDTKCSLCSNCRO\ AQQ9PR7PT6PU2SU5RV8RVBQWEPWHNXKMXNLYQKYTIZWHZZH_ZI\ _ZJ_ZKQZLH_MJ`NKaOLcPMdQNeROfSPhTQiURjVSlWTmUUnUVo\ UWpUXpUYoUZmUYkUXiUWgUVeUUcUTaUS_URYUQWVPVVOUVNTUM\ STLRTKQTJPTIOUHNUGMUFLVEKVDJVCKXBKYAKZ9KZ8KZ7KY6KX\ 7KW7LX8LX8LX9LX9LYALYALYALZBL`BMaCMbCMcDMdDMdEMdEM\ dFMeFMeGNeGNeGNfHNfHNfINfINgJNgJNgKOgKOhLOhLOhMOhM\ OiMOiNOiNOiOPjOPjPPjPPjQPkQPkRPkRjzzczzczzczzczzcz\ zczzczzezzdzzdzzczzczzbzzbzzazzazz`zz_zz_zzZzzZzzY\ zzYzzXzzXzzWzzWzzVzzVzzUzzUzzTzzTzzSzzRzzRzzQzzQzz\ PzzPzzOzzOzzNzzNzzMzzMzzLzzLzzKzzJzzJzzIzzIzzHzzHz\ zGzzGzzFzzFzzEzzEzzDzzuzz } frm:SliceJulibrot2 {; draws all slices of Julibrot pix=pixel, u=real(pix), v=imag(pix), a=pi*real(p1*0.0055555555555556), b=pi*imag(p1*0.0055555555555556), g=pi*real(p2*0.0055555555555556), d=pi*imag(p2*0.0055555555555556), ca=cos(a), cb=cos(b), sb=sin(b), cg=cos(g), sg=sin(g), cd=cos(d), sd=sin(d), p=u*cg*cd-v*(ca*sb*sg*cd+ca*cb*sd), q=u*cg*sd+v*(ca*cb*cd-ca*sb*sg*sd), r=u*sg+v*ca*sb*cg, s=v*sin(a), c=p+flip(q)+p3, z=r+flip(s)+p4: z=sqr(z)+c |z|<=9 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
