So far however, these great images ; have proved to be very elusive. Today's image for example, with ; its rating of a 6, lies in the middle of the FOTD-average range. ; ; In addition to being half evaporated, today's image is also ; unusual in that it has been rendered with its inside parts set ; to 'atan'. The setting doesn't seem to have done all that much ; for the image however. ; ; The reason for the name "Spots Before the Eyes" will be immedi- ; ately apparent as soon as the image is seen. ; ; The calculation time of 7-2/3 minutes may be cut significantly ; by rendering the image with the passes reset to 'g', but doing ; this will eliminate a good number of the spots. ; ; Calculation may be avoided entirely by checking the finished ; image on the current FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The original FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Sunday was the warmest day in a couple months here at Fractal ; Central, as the high of 48F +9C gave almost a spring-like ; feeling to things. The remaining piles of snow and ice kept ; spring fever at bay however. ; ; The fractal cats spent most of the day on their shelf by the ; heat, while my day was slow enough for laziness to take hold. ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and what will those who do not enjoy fractals do to keep ; themselves occupied during the infinite time span of an eternal ; afterlife? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= SpotsBeforeTheEyes { ; time=0:07:40.55-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+4.928482180057377/-0.03348163368617062\ /1.871333e+009/1/147.57/0 params=-1.1/-11/-11/-1.1\ /0/5000000000000000.0/0/0 float=y maxiter=4200 inside=atan periodicity=6 colors=000000W6hY7i`8jb8kd9lf9miAnkAomBpp8roBpoEoo\ HnoKmoNloQkoTjoWi000nagndfngenjdnmcnpbpw_nsalockke\ igghcif_jdWlcSnaOp`KrZGtWAuYDuZGu_JuZKtZLtZLtYMsYN\ sYNsYOrXPrXPrXQqWRqWRqWSpWSpVTpVUoVUoUVoUWnUWnUXnT\ YmTYmTZmS_lS_lS`lS`lRZjRYiRXhRWgRVfRTeRSdQRbQQaQP`\ QN_QMZQLYQKXOfFW`McWTkQ_sLeqMfoMfnNflNgkNgiOghOhfP\ hePhcPibQi`Qid7Y_QiTkyVgtXdpYak_ZgaWbbTZdQUeNQgKLi\ HHjEClB8m84j96hA7eB9cCAaDCZEDXFFVGGSHIQHJNILLJMJKO\ GLPEMRCNS9OU7PV1RY5PW8OVBNUFMTILSLKQPJPSHOVGNZFMaE\ KdDJhCIkBHnAGkCIiEJgGKdILbKM`MNZOOWQPUSQSURQVSNXTL\ ZUJ`VGbWEdXCfYAhZ7j_5l`3na1ob3Ka5m`7l_9lZBkYDjYFjX\ GiWIKVKgUMgUOfTQeSSeRUdQVcQXbPZbO`aNb`Md`Mf_LzZKiY\ JkYImXIoWHqWGsVFuUEyRBvUEsWHpYJzzMvzPv0RrzUcccrzZm\ UamzdhcfhziczlcznZxqZzsUwrUuqDsqDppDnoDloDjnDgmDem\ DclDakDZkDXjEViETiEQhEOgEMgEKfEHeEFeEDdEBcE8cE6bE4\ aB1`A0IG3bI3cL4dN4eP5fR5g } 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 ;
