When I first saw the area of the ; parent fractal, I thought I was really into something interest- ; ing. And sure enough, I soon found a minibrot. But for some ; reason, I simply could not find a color palette able to bring ; out the hidden worth that I feel lay within the image. So here ; is today's image, worth only a pathetic lowly 3. ; ; Normally, I would not even consider posting such a scene, or I ; would let it go with no rating, but today I wanted to emphasize ; that, at least in my opinion, the image is an abject failure. ; My alibi is a lack of time. If I had had more free time to work ; with the colors, I might have found a better color palette. ; ; On the technical side, the image is an 'evaporated' one, which ; means it consists totally of 'inside' stuff made visible by the ; 'bof61' inside fill. The parent fractal certainly holds far ; better images, and in the next FOTD, with more time to search, ; I'll hopefully present one of them. ; ; But for today, the way to escape the excessive 12-minute calcula- ; tion time is to view the finished image on the active FOTD web ; site at: ; ; ; ; the original but currently inactive FOTD web site may be ; accessed at: ; ; ; ; There was no FOTD on Wednesday because I spent the day back at ; Old Fractal Central searching for the cause of a growing water ; stain down one of the walls. It took about 15 minutes to trace ; the cause to a hole at the edge of the roof that probably resul- ; ted when recent heavy snow pulled down the rain gutter along ; with part of the roof. The hole is letting water drain down ; inside the wall. ; ; I also noticed that a squirrel has taken up residence in the ; attic, using the hole as its doorway. I made a very temporary ; repair. A professional job is needed however, and the squirrel ; will have to be evicted. ; ; The sun was bright here at Fractal Central on Thursday, but the ; morning temperature of 10F -12C set a very chilly tone to the ; entire day. The fractal cats approved of the sun and spent the ; afternoon sharing the warmth of the sunny shelf in the southwest ; window. ; ; My day was fully occupied with getting the work caught up. The ; next FOTD is due to be posted in 24 hours. In all likelihood, ; it will appear as scheduled. Until next time, take care, and ; may the force be with those in the right. (I leave it to the ; individual to decide who or what is in the right.) ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Absolute_Chaos { ; time=0:12:00.03-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+1.560838394521583/+2.582196162938022/\ 1.533871e+011/1/-175.5/0 params=-1.1/-11/-11/-1.1/\ 0/1e+100/0/0 float=y maxiter=6000 inside=bof61 logmap=968 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000KKK6iJAfLEcNI`PMYQQWSUTUXQV`NXdKZhI`lFap\ Cct9ew7fpD`iIWbORWTMPYHVX9_W2fYIl_Yrals_msYmsXnsVn\ sTosSosQptOptNqtLqtJrtIrtGstEstDsrFrpHqoIqmKplLpjN\ oiOogQneSmdTmbVlaWl_YkZZkX`jWajTf`RkSPpJNtAOpDPlGQ\ iJQeMRaPSZSTVVTSYPQaMOdJMgGLjIMgJNeKOcMO`NPZOQXQRV\ RRSSSQUTOVUMWUJYVHZWF_WDYUHWTKURNSQQQOTONXML_KKbII\ eGHhEFlCEoACr8Bu6Ax9EvBHtDLrGOpISnKVlMZjPahRefThdV\ lbYo`_sZavXcyWdxYdw_evaevbfudftfgsggsigrkhqlhpnipp\ ioqjnsjmujmvehq`dlW`gRXcMTZHPUDLQHMPLNPOOPSPOVQOZR\ ObSNeTNiUNlVMpWMsXMkSLdNKYIKREJK9JU4I6KI83UU6FNPN9\ 68GEBIHAJJ9LM8NP7PS5RU4TX3V_2WazSzzTxzUvzVtzWrzXpz\ YnzZlM_jI`hEaXBbV7cT3dS0_T1Vb2Ql2Op4Mp5Lp6Jp7Hp8Gp\ 9EpADpBBpD9pE8pF6pG4pH3pI1pJ0pK__6KhE5pMFnLOmKYkJf\ jIoiIpeLpaOqZQqVTrSWrOYrK`sHcsDetAht6kz3mzAkzHjzNi\ zUgz`fzfezgczgbzgazg`zgZzhYzhXzhWzhUzhTziSziRziPzi\ OzjWzjVzjTzjSziQziPziNziM } 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 ;
