The resulting parent fractal is one of ; those shapeless, pretty much indescribable things with lots of ; interesting detail. ; ; Today's scene is located in the southeast part of the parent, ; just beyond a ghostly pink Mandeloid that has pretty much ; evaporated into the fractal astral plane. The blue background ; was created by rendering the scene with the inside set to ; 'bof60'. The shredded, highly colored foreground stuff came ; about when I raised the bailout radius to 500. ; ; The overall effect is of a surrealist painting by one of the ; early 20th-Century artists, when surrealism was all the rage. ; It seems strange that artists were drawing fractal patterns well ; before we knew fractals existed. And unless I'm mistaken, women ; were quilting fractal patterns hundreds of years before the men ; discovered the patterns. ; ; When I stood back and carefully pondered the image on the ; screen, I decided it was worth a rating of a 6, which is above ; average, but nothing to get excited about. ; ; I have no idea where the name "Random Mischief" came from. It ; was simply on the screen when the time came to dream up a name. ; But with a little imagination, the image actually might be seen ; as getting into mischief. ; ; Mischief aside, the finished image is posted at: ; ; ; ; The high-definition version is posted at: ; ; ; ; The original classic web site can be found at: ; ; ; ; A stellar day prevailed here at Fractal Central on Thursday. ; The crystal clear sky and temperature of 75F 24C made outdoor ; activity a pleasure, while the breeze from the northwest cooled ; even the busiest outdoor worker. The fractal cats are never ; busy, but even they seemed pleased with the conditions. ; ; The humans had their own tasks to accomplish. FL is not quite ; satisfied with the progress of this year's garden, so she spent ; time gardening. I am never quite satisfied with anything, so I ; spent time pondering the unknown. The next thing to be pondered ; is the next FOTD, which will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, ; take care, and start every day with a fractal. If you're out of ; them, pick up a supply at the nearest fractal outlet store. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Random_Mischief { ; time=0:00:30.39-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=1.30834/-0.117586/67.48308/1/180 params=-7/-1.7/-0.7/-7.7/0/400/0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=bof60 periodicity=6 colors=000PlVPiVPeUPbUPZUPWUPTTPPTPMTAATA0GA00A0LA\ 0GA0TAITggUztUhkTdcTmWSXOSA0RP8RzDQWIPZMOaROdVNh_M\ kcLnhLqlKtqJwuJtsKrrLopMmoNkmOhlTfjXdi_aabYbeXbgVb\ iTbmQaqO`tM_wKZzJYzHXzGWzEVzDUzITzMLzQMwVNtZOsbPqg\ QmkRloSjsTipUgmVejWchWaeX_bYY`YWaXYbX_cXadXbeXdfXf\ gXghXiiXkjXlkXnlXplXqgUobSmYPkTNiPKgKIeFFcADa6B_UZ\ wTXvSWvSVvRTvRSvQRuQPuPOuONuOLuNKtNJtMHtMGtLFtLEtS\ SfZdUeqH_lGVhFQcEL_DGVCBRB6MA1IA9GEGEINCMUAQ`8Ug6Y\ n4au2dt4et5ft6ft7gt8gs9hsAhsBisCisDjsEjpIknLllOmjR\ nhVnfYod`pbcq`fqWcnR`kUYfWWaYUY_STaPOcNKeLFgJBUNAG\ R92U83P63L42K82KC2JF2JJ2IM2IQ2HT2HX2G_2Gc2Ff2Fj2Em\ 2Eq2Et4Em6Ef8E_AETBEME8JGALIBOKDQMFSOHVQIXSKZUMaWO\ cYPeWMaUKZSIVQGSOEOMCLKAHI8EOELUJR_PYeUck_jqdpwivu\ jsskqqlopmmnnkloijpgiqegrcesact_buY`vWZwUXxSWyQUtP\ SoOQkNOfMMaLLYKJTJHOIBLWFKHDFG0KN1JM2IL3HL4HK5GK6F\ J7EI8EI9DHACHBBGmfTicRf`Q } 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 ;
