My finger was one inch from ; the delete button that would have sent it to neverland when I ; decided to make it FOTD for the day. Nothing is really wrong ; with the image, but nothing is really right either. It's an ; *everyday event*, the kind of image I turn up all the time in my ; never ending search for a better fractal. This is what I named ; it. ; ; The formula behind the image is Z^(1.95)+C, iterated at ground ; level. The parent fractal is quite a bit more distorted than ; what might be expected from a formula so close to Z^2+C, but all ; the parts are there, even though they are not so easily ; recognized. ; ; There is nothing wrong with the rating of a 5. It's equal to a ; grade of 'C', which means average performance. If its calcula- ; tion time had been a bit faster than 6 minutes, the image might ; have rated a point higher. ; ; Those who do not calculate may view the finished image on the ; new FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The original web site is still there, though it is not up to ; date. The original site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Wall-to-wall sunshine and a temperature of 36F +2C made the ; shortest day of the year somewhat pleasant here at Fractal ; Central on Tuesday. The fractal cats must have agreed, for they ; spent most of the day on the shelf by the sunny southwest ; window. Most everything else went according to plan. The next ; FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and ; they say it's all a dream. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Everyday_Event { ; time=0:06:16.89-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=ident passes=1 center-mag=+0.2318797787712759/+0.1330343967606758\ /1.479257e+013/1/107.5/0 params=1.95/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1800 inside=0 logmap=543 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000AABAABAACAADAADAAEBAFCAFDAGEAHFAHGAIHAJI\ AJJAKKALKALKAMKANKANKAOKAPKAPKAQKARKARKASKASK9RK8R\ K8RK7QK6QK5QK5PK4PK3PK2RK3RK3RK3RK3RK4RK4RK4RK4RK4\ RKAQKAPKAOKANKAMKALKAKJAJHAIGAHFAGDAFC9EB8D97C86B7\ 5B55B45B35B45B45C45D45E45F45G45G45G45G45G45G45G46G\ 46G56F57F57F57F57F57F57F58F58F58F58F58F59F59FXKDZK\ I`KMbKRcKVeK_gKciKhjKlkMmkOmlQnlRnmTomVonWpnYpn_qo\ `qobrpdrpesqgsqitqjtRhl1fe8ebFd_McYSbVZaTe`Qk`OhZN\ fYMdXLaWK_UJYTIVSHTRGRPFOOEMNDKMCILCHPBGSAFV9EY8E`\ 7Dd6Cg5Bj4Am3Ap38_J6JZ42mD7jLCgTHeQNbOS_MXYKaVIfSG\ kQEpNCuKAzIEwFItDMqAPo8RpDSqIUrMVsRXtWYt_1UjUlAZnC\ bpDgrFktGpvItxJsuIrrHqpGpmFokEnhDmfClcCkaBjZAiX9hU\ 8gS7fP6fN6`VEVbMPjUKr`WXffBkgDjgFjgHjgJjgLigNigPig\ RigThgVhgXhgYhe_gc`faae_cdYdcWecUfbShaQi`Oj_Nk_P_i\ OZiOZhOYhNYhNYhNXgMXgMWgMWfLWfWZ_lVxiSpfQicNa`LVPU\ `Daf2ik7kiBmhFngJpfNqeSsc } frm:MandelbrotBC3 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100 p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*fn1(p/(2*PI)) r=real(p2)+PI-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
