I originally calculated the image with the passes set to 1. ; The resulting image took near 16 minutes to calculate, but was ; pictorially perfect. The passes=g option was fast enough but ; left too many holes in the web. Passes=b finished in 5 minutes, ; but totally missed the web. This left me with passes=t, which ; finishes in just under 10 minutes, and misses only a few minor ; bits of the spider web. ; ; The image lies in the parent fractal that results when 10 ; negative parts of Z^(-1.1) are combined with Z^(-11.1) before ; (1/C) is added on each iteration. This parent fractal is ; another of those indescribable ones that appear when double ; negative powers of Z are calculated. And since the powers are ; negative, the fractal is subject to evaporation. ; ; Today's image is an evaporated one, though instead of setting ; the bailout to one-googol, I set it to 10^40, which is still ; large enough to evaporate the scene. ; ; The rating of a 6-1/2 is an improvement over recent images, ; though still far short of traditional FOTD quality standards. ; The image may be thoroughly enjoyed by running the parameter ; file, or by viewing it on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The high-definition version is at: ; ; ; ; The original FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Saturday and Sunday here at Fractal central were near perfect ; days, with tons of sun, lower humidity and a near perfect ; temperature of 88F 31C. The fractal cats enjoyed the conditions ; as much as is possible for cats to enjoy a thing, while the ; humans had a pleasant two days. The next FOTD will be posted in ; 24 hours. Until then, take care, and let your mind soar to the ; stars. Your body is stuck to the ground. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Spider_Test { ; time=0:09:55.69-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=t center-mag=+4.8057119805/+1.925110761/48177/1/\ -172.5/0 params=-10/-1.1/1/-11.1/0/1e+040/0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=bof61 periodicity=0 colors=000DcbFc`GcZIcYJcWLcUMcTJcRKcSLcSLcSMcSMcSN\ cSNcSOcSOcSPcSPcSQcSQcSVcTZcUbdVgYVkRWoKXsDXoCVlCU\ `nSalVajYbh`cfcdcfeaif_lA0FtdvgWqWOlJFg54`77b89cAC\ eBEfDHgEJiFLjHOkIQmKTnLVoNYqO_rOdvPasQ_qRYnSWlSUiT\ SgUQdVObWM_WKYXIVYGTZEQ_CO_AMXDPVFRSHTQJVOLYLN_JPa\ HScEUeA0FAYjP8dP8eP7fP7gP6iP6jP5kP5lP4mP4nP3oP3pP2\ qP2rP1sP1tO2sN2sM2sM2rL2rK2rK2qJ2qI2qI3pH3pG3pG3oF\ 3oE3oE3nD3nC3nC3nE2kG2hI2eJ2bL2`N2YO2VVPXS1PU1NV1K\ X1HZ1E_1C`2Ea2Fb2Hc2Id2Ke2Lf2Ng3Oh3Qi3Rj3Tk3Ul3Wm3\ Xn4Zo4_p4aq4br4ds4et4gt4hq7fo9emCdkEciGagJ`eL_cNZe\ RagUciYfk`hmckogmqjpidhuquwcwxo1zo3hc4mc5US6NM7QO6\ TP6WQ6YR6`S6cT6fU6hV6kW6nX6pY6qW9qUCrTFrRIsQLsOOsN\ RtLUtJXuI_uGbvFevDhvCjqBkmAki9ld9l`8mX7mS6nO6nK5oF\ 4oB3p73p84n95l96jA7iB8gB9eCAdDBbDC`ED_FEYFFWGGVGHT\ HIRIJQIKOJLMKMLKNJLOHMOGMQENRCNSBLUEKWHJYKIZMH`PFb\ SEcUPCYPBZPB_PA`PAaP9bP9c } 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 ;
