But thanks to provi- ; dence, (whatever that is), the task was eventually completed, ; and we found ourselves back at FC before daylight failed. This ; left enough time to find a respectable but not quite outstanding ; fractal, but not enough time to finish the discussion. ; ; The generating formula is total whimsy. I took eleven negative ; parts of Z^(-1.1) and combined them with 1.1 negative parts of ; Z^(-11) before adding straight C. The parent fractal is a most ; unpromising thing -- an oversized open oval with a small blob ; and a small wedge floating in its center. But the wedge is full ; of detail, and a quick search led me to today's scene, which ; lies in a more chaotic area of the wedge. ; ; I named the image "Grated Remnants". The texture of the eight ; obvious features surrounding the central minibrot reminds me of ; a kitchen grater. ; ; I rated the image at a 7, which is kind of a FOTD standard. ; ; The calculation time of 8-1/3 minutes could cause a bit of ; fidgeting among those with too many other things to get done. ; ; To prevent fidgeting, the finished image will soon be available ; at: ; ; ; ; (But the last I heard, the site at: ; ; was no longer being kept up to date.) ; ; I do not know what the situation is at the original FOTD web ; site at: ; ; ; ; I have not heard from Paul in several weeks, though I continue ; to send the finished images to him. ; ; A mix of clouds and sun and a not-too-chilly temperature of 39F ; +4C made Saturday a near-average mid-December day here at ; Fractal Central. The fractal cats must have agreed, for when we ; returned from the shopping, we found them waiting in the window. ; After surviving the shopping, I had a day that was acceptably ; uneventful. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 13 hours or so, but with no ; promises made as to the quality of the fractal. Until then, ; take care, and if seven is lucky and thirteen is unlucky, what ; happens if you combine them and come up with twenty? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Grated_Remnants { ; time=0:08:22.68-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident passes=1 center-mag=+0.16182984183858/+0.29257778317738/\ 4.2912e+009/1/165/0 params=-11/-1.1/-1.1/-11/0/525\ /0/0 float=y maxiter=3600 inside=0 logmap=522 colors=000B0SC1TD6UE3VF9WG7XHCYIBZIF_JG`KI`KKaLKbM\ KcMKdNKdOKeOKfPKgQKhQKhPKeOKdOK_NK`MKVMKYLKPKKMKLJ\ JJHIHEIFBHD8HB6GD9GFCGHFGJIGKKGMNGOQGQTGRVCKa9Dh66\ o30v57r7Dn9JjBQfDWbFaZHhVJnRLtNNzKUyRizYfxctwjsvqy\ vwvtrvuorqirrfmn`kmWikRgjNdhIbgE`e9Zd5X`7VY8TV9RRA\ POBNLCLHDJEEHBFF8GDBECEDAHC9JB7MA6P94S83U79SVFQrIP\ sMPsPPsVPsSOtUOtVOtaOtcNu_NuaNuZNu_Nu_OrVPoLQlGRjB\ Sg6Td1Ub5XX9ZRDaLHcFKeAJg9Ih9Hi9Gk8Fl8Em8Do8Dp7Cq7\ Bs7At79u68w67x67y6EjRLXkJSmHNoFIqDDsC8uKvXBwf3xo6v\ h9ubBtXEsQHrKJqEQbDXOCc9CU9IK9NA9S09X2DX4HX5LX7PX8\ TXAXXB`Xkd6dY4ZR3TIENAPI2ZRKYZ`XfqW7glceeccZmaSm`L\ zZEzc7zm0zcUzXwmUdmRNcP5HJFLEPO9YLD`JGbGJdEMfBQi9T\ k6Wm4ZoCihKsaJlVIeOHZHGSAGL4MMYRMzSKySIxSGxTEwTCvT\ AvQEvOIvMLvKPvISvGWvEZvIVmLReOmYRmPUmHXm9WmGWmNWmT\ cmdjmpEwFFwDGwCHwBKzDNzFPzHSzJUzKXzLzzMzzMzzNzzNzz\ Ozzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz } 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 ;
