In most cases, this parent fractal is the image that ; appears on the screen when the formula parameters are entered ; and nothing is changed. My default settings are: a magnitude of ; 0.66..., the default color palette, a maxiter of 1500, a ; periodicity of 6 and a logmap of zero. ; ; Sometimes an outzoom is needed to fit an entire oversized parent ; onto the screen, or an inzoom is needed to enlarge an undersized ; parent to fill the screen. In other cases, there is no limited ; fractal that could be called a parent fractal. The entire ; parent fractal appears to be of unlimited size. Today's image ; is one of these misfits. ; ; Today's image lies in the apparently infinite fractal that is ; created by the MandNewt06 formula. This can be demonstrated by ; repeatedly outzooming from the image until the limit of Fractint ; is reached. Even way out here, there is no sign of the fractal ; coming to an end. ; ; As for the image itself, it reminds me of blue clouds caught ; evaporating away to reveal a universe of brownish spheres ; loosely arranged into nets and spirals. I rated the image at ; an 8, a full point of which is a bonus for the coloring effort ; needed to get reasonable smoothness from 256 colors. ; ; The name "Evaporation" refers to the bluish clouds, which to me ; appear to be clearing away, perhaps after a fractal storm. The ; calculation time of just over a minute will bring grief to no ; one if, in their opinion, the image lays an egg. ; ; For a little fun, try changing the exponent part of the real(p4) ; parameter a few orders of magnitude in either direction and ; watch the blue cloud totally evaporate or thicken. ; ; The already-calculated image is available on the official FOTD ; web site at: ; ; ; ; The high-definition version is at: ; ; ; ; The original FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Typical October weather prevailed here at Fractal Central today, ; which made for a not too pleasant afternoon. The sun was ; blocked most of the time by dark lumpy clouds scudding from the ; west, (stratocumulus), which dropped occasional sprinkles, while ; the temperature remained stuck in the mid 50's F around 12C, and ; the wind gusted to 20mph, 30kph. Not being weather wise, the ; fractal cats ignored the marginal conditions and concentrated on ; deciding who would own the new chair. FL put a heavy afghan ; over the chair to thwart their scratching efforts while they ; bickered for ownership. ; ; The next in the apparently unending series of fractal images ; will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and if I ; don't exhaust the supply of fractals in this world, I'll keep ; finding them in the next. But I still wonder how I'll continue ; posting them to the list. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Evaporation { ; time=0:01:08.27-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2000 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandNewt06a passes=1 float=y center-mag=-0.0587134/0.29352/32.89674/1/-135/0 params=-1.82/-1.79/2.48/-1.18/1.28/1.63/1e-030/0 inside=bof60 logmap=yes periodicity=0 sound=off colors=000xaNw`Nv_MuZMtYLsXLrWKqVKpUKoTJnSJmRIlQIk\ PIjOHiNHhMHgLHfKGeJGdIFcHFbGEaFD`EB_D9ZC5YB0UA0Q80\ N60wzzwyzwwzwvywvxwvwwvvwvuwvtwvswvqwvowvmwvlvvkvu\ luukuumuuluumtunsunrunquopuoouonuomuokupjupiuphupg\ upfupdupcupbupaup`up_uqZuqYuqXuqWuqVuqUrqTrqSrrQbr\ PbrObrNbrMbrLbrKbrJbsIasHNnGNnFNnENnDNnCNnCNnBNnAM\ mAMmALmAKm9Km9Km9Km9Lm8Km8Lm8Lm7Mm7Mm7Nm7Pm6Tl6Sl6\ Sl6Rl5Rl5Ql5Ql4Pl4Pl4Ol4Ol3Nl3Nl2Ml2Ll2Kl1Jl1Il1Hl\ 0Um1Sm1Rm3Rm4Pm5Nm6Lk7Jk8Ij9GjAFiBCiCAiEHhGFhIDgKB\ gL9fM7fIIpJHpKFpLEpMDpNCpOBpPApQ9pR8oS6oT5oU4oV3oW\ 2oX1oY0oZ0o_0o`0o`0oa0nb0mb0lc0kc0jd0id0he0gf0ff0e\ g0dg0ch1ch1bi1ai2`j2_k2Zk2Yl3Xl3Wm3Vm4Un4Tn5So5Rp5\ Qp6Pq6Oq6Nt5Lq6Mn6Ok7Ph8Qe9Rb9T_AUXBVUCWRCYODZLD_I\ E`FFaCFc9Gd6He5He4Hf6Gc8E`ADYCBVEASF8PH7MJ5JL4GN3D\ N38N39O2AO2BP2DP1EP1FQ1GQ0HR0IR0JR0KS0MS0NT0OT0PT0\ QU0RU0SV0TV0TV0TU0UU0UU0U } frm:MandNewt06a {; Jim Muth z=c=(pixel*p1): a=z^3+(c-p2)*z-c b=p3*z^2+c-1 z=z-1*a/b p4 < |a| } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
