The resulting parent ; fractal is a Mandelbrot set with some extra stuff added mostly ; along the X-axis. Today's scene lies in some of this extra ; stuff that is just starting to sprout along the positive X-axis. ; ; The rating of a 7 might be a bit liberal. The image really is a ; bit too chaotic and the colors too disorganized for maximum ; effect. But I kind of like it anyway, with its preponderance of ; grays, so the rating of 7 will remain. ; ; The name "Moth-Eaten Fractal" came about when I realized that ; the thing was full of holes, like an old woolen sweater than has ; hung in the closet too many months with no moth repellant. ; ; The calculation time of over 22 minutes is admittedly slow, but ; may be cut to 14 minutes by rendering the image with the passes ; set to 'g'. Doing so however will cause some loss of accuracy. ; ; To avoid all calculation, check the web site at: ; ; ; ; where the finished image should soon be posted. ; ; The original web site, complete with almost 14 years of FOTD's ; is still located at: ; ; ; ; but the last time I checked, it was not up to date. ; ; The temperature reached a mild enough 50F 10C here at Fractal ; Central on Sunday, but a steady rain fell all day, spoiling the ; brief respite from the chill. The fractal cats seemed uncon- ; cerned. We are installing a shelf over the large radiator in ; the hallway, where they can leap any time they wish and be as ; warm as a cat by an open fire. If all goes as planned, the next ; FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be ; lively. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Moth-Eaten_Fractal { ; time=0:22:37.71-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident passes=1 center-mag=+0.69362781933042/+0.01361539169399/3.0\ 909e+010/1/147.5/0 params=-1.6/3/-2.4/2/0/-97.5/0/0 float=y maxiter=8000 inside=0 outside=imag logmap=1235 colors=000UUUGa08J0zsBz_8m06NM4BB2sXtgQhXJYMDMB6BA\ cp8We6OV4GL28Al6Cc5AW48O36z24812jwrNUR5VLcaVWUOOMI\ GFC876PY5KS4mM3CH28B1450GnyzaizPVzCFzc5z74zz3z326z\ 1zHzzz9zG4zzizVYzzNzABzz2zK1zzSzlNzzIzTEzz9z94zztz\ YjzzazKSzzJzz9zvnzzYzJHzzTzWNzzHzGBzz5zAnzzcz6UzzK\ z2AzzdzzZCBT99N76H44B225_ZCRQ9IH6983PjwLdoIZhFT`CN\ U9HM6BF357_OkOGWC8GJnPCYG6H8zR1mL0`G0PA0C50`qBWj9R\ c8NX6IR5DK49D246115e03S01EjCmN6PkkXaaQSSJJJD9964Uu\ 3Mf2FT17ELHKA8A6Bt48e35S12EnSpYIZH9HlDm_9`O6PC3CTp\ uNeiHVYBLN5AB8i86a65U54N42F21712Uu1Oi1IY0CN06BjzEH\ ttDhhAYY6MM3BBgQ8ZK6QF4HA3851GDO86Cccc5J8PGnC8Pgma\ afXX`SRVNMPJGIEBC9564vuSgfLTTEEE76zX4mQ3`JzK01C6Ad\ BuiFTN7CxhWZyOQiGHV88FRDSNBOJ9KF7GB5C738314sq_zczz\ RzzDzzLzzFzzAzz5zzgzz`zzVzzPzzczzVzzczzMzzczzGzzcz\ zWzzZzz`zzbzzdzzWzzNzzFzzFzzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzc\ zzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzcz } 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 ;
