When the inside is set to a flat color, this formula draws ; nothing but empty circles, but when an active coloring such as ; the 'bof61 is applied to the inside, strange things begin happen- ; ing. Today's image shows some of these strange things. ; ; The image consists entirely of inside stuff made visible by the ; 'bof61' inside fill. It is very sensitive to changes in the ; inside fill, the function and the p3 parameter. The p1 and p2 ; parameters have a far lesser effect. ; ; The name "Shadow Dance" sounds kind of Native Americanish, but ; it has little to do with the appearance of the image. ; ; Due to the lack of organized colors, I could rate it no higher ; than a 6. ; ; The finished image soon will be available on the current FOTD ; web site at: ; ; ; ; The original FOTD web site may be found at: ; ; ; ; My own FOTD web site will soon be up and running, though due to ; problems dealing with the flooded basement, it has made no ; progress since the last report. ; ; Sunday brought clouds and a temperature of 43F +6C to Fractal ; Central. The fractal cats took it all in stride. They were ; more interested in being fed. My day was spent recuperating ; from the flooded basement and watching far greater disasters on ; TV. The next FOTD will be posted in a couple days. Until then, ; take care, and no matter how bad things seem, they are never so ; bad that they could not get worse. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Shadow_Dance { ; time=0:01:31.62-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=jim.frm formulaname=Mystic2 function=cotan passes=1 center-mag=0/0/31 params=1/-3/3/4/3/5.899 float=y maxiter=255 inside=bof61 periodicity=6 colors=000TETTFRTHPTIMTJKTLIoMGTNETOCPQFzZ0jALHSJG\ eHFQGDOECNDBMB9LA8J87I7zH54G43E21D10C00H01C3C003DB\ ztF5Fm6EO7Fm8FW9G`AGdBHhCHlEIeGIZIJSKJLLJEOICRHAUG\ 8XF6_E4bD2dD0cE4bE7aEB`FE`FH_FLZGOYGSYGVXHYWHaVHdV\ HgYEb_BYa8Uc5Pe2Kg0GX9IMIKBRM1_O4ZM7YK9XICWGEVEHUC\ JTAMS8OR6RQ4TP2WO0YN0`M0bM0aL2`K9_JGZIOYHVXGaXFhPD\ THBD9A0II5RPB_XIgcOddMbeL`fKYgIWhHUiGSjFLaOFUW9Mc3\ EkBFZJGMRH9ZI0QT0Ic0`RKEhUJYSNNQRCPV1NZ0MY0OX1PW6R\ WASVFUUKVTPWTTYSYZRb`QgaQkbSgaTcaV`aWXaXUaZQa_Na`J\ abGacCad9a`6YX3VU1SQ0OM0LJ0ILIKNfMGcWA`eAacAaaAb_A\ bZAcXAcVAcUD_SGWRISPLOOOKNQGLTCKV9JXAHYBFZBD_CB`D9\ aD8bE6cF4dF2eG0fG0UN0HT05Z08W0AU0DR1FP1IM2KK3MI3PF\ 4RD5UA6W86Z57`38b18U49M79E995C90F90H90G80G80F70F73\ E66E69E6BD5ED5HC4KC4MC4LC4JC3HC3GD2ED1CD1BD09D07D0\ 6E04E02E01E00E00E00D01D22D43D74DA5DC6DF7DH8DK9DNAD\ PBDSCDUBBQB9MA7IA5F94B927 } frm:Mystic2 {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), c=real(p2), d=imag(p2), k=real(p3), f=imag(p3), g=pixel, z=(pixel)^a+(b*(pixel))^c: z=(fn1(z)+(d*(g)))^k+(f*(cos(g))) g=sqr(g), LastSqr <= 100 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
