The image is little more than a study, checking on the ; scenery that might actually lie down in these depths. Since the ; image is not actually a finished product, I needed to add the ; question mark to the rating of an 8. The rating is mainly for ; mathematical reasons. The artistic worth is merely average. ; ; The exponent of Z has once again been taken half-way to unity, ; all the way down to 1.0022, but at a level around 4.47 turns up ; the hyperladder, the parent fractal is anything but a ; featureless lopsided ellipse. In fact, the L-shaped parent ; fractal is more surprising than today's scene, which lies inside ; it. ; ; I named the image "Doomsday Descends". I would have added 'from ; the upper right' to the name, but there was no space to fit it ; in. Actually, the name is a comment about those ridiculous 'end ; of the world' and 'climate change' shows that fill the 'science' ; channels. Wow! They sure have me worried enough to bust out ; laughing. ; ; The drawback with today's image is its crawling slow calculation ; time of 1/2 hour. ; ; But to see the image already calculated and save a half hour or ; so, check the official FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; To see the image in high-definition try: ; ; ; ; The original classic FOTD site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Wednesday was a near repeat of Tuesday here at Fractal Central, ; with a few less clouds and a warmer temperature of 82F 28C. The ; fractal cats appreciated the added presence of the humans as ; well as the near-ideal outside conditions. ; ; At the same time, the humans had their own stuff to do, which was ; completed on schedule, making for an uneventful day. The next ; FOTD will be posted in about 8 hours. If it actually appears at ; that time, the FOTD will be caught up. Until whenever, take ; care, and if heaven isn't there when you get there, who would you ; accuse of false advertising? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Doomsday_Descends { ; time=0:30:27.15-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+1.301632800620646/-3.838888125922276/\ 17269.51/1/70/0 params=1.0022/0/4.72765/800 float=y maxiter=5200 inside=0 logmap=-3360 periodicity=0 colors=0001R81M40H10C0080030040440B61G64M89R8CW9Gk\ MO`9JR0CS0ET0EV0GW1GY3H_6H`8Jb9JcBKeCKfEMhHMiJOkKO\ lMPnOPnPPkSTiVWfY_e`bbbe`chYckWWnTcqPOtPfwOGzKhzKS\ fMczOTnOcwOcteWWeWVeWShWRkWOlWMfWKfWHcWH`WGcWGcWEb\ WTcWScWPcWOc`KYYJ__JYYHWYHWWGVVGVTETTETSESSCSRCRPB\ ROBPO9PM9OK9MH8MG8KC6K96J64J44G14E03B0390160140040\ 040040010110100300400400600800811933B46B69C8CE9EEB\ GGEHHGJHGKJGMKGOKGPMGRO9_CGSOKKYRChV4r_0z`1zb3zc4z\ e6ze8zfBzhCziEziGzkHzlJznMxoOxoPxqRxrSxtVwtWwvYww_\ wx`wxbxiizWqzJxz4zz6zz6zzczzczzhzzmzzfzzczz9wz9wz9\ zzBvzBtzBrzCrzCqzCqzCozEozEnzElzElzGkzGkzGizGizHhz\ JfzJezKczMbxM`qO_lOYhPYeRWbRVcSTcSSeTReVPfVOfWMhWM\ hYOfYPeYRe_Sc_Tb_Vb_W``Y_`__``Y`bWbbVbbSbbPbbMc`Jc\ YGeSCeP9eM8cO9cOCbPEbPG`PJ`RK_RM_SOYSRYTSWTTWTWVVY\ VV_TWeTWiSWqSYxRYzR_zP_zP`zO`zO`zMbzMbzKczKczKhzKc\ zK`zKYzKTzKRzKOzKKzKGzKCz } 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|
