The scene lies in what I consider ; the eastern side of the north branch of Seahorse Valley. ; ; At a depth of almost 7*(10^12), the image verges on the point of ; mathematical breakup. Luckily, the already jagged features of ; the fractal almost totally hide signs of the imminent breakup. ; ; The name "In a New Valley" refers to the order-9 stuff that ; contaminates the depths of the parent Seahorse Valley, making a ; 'new' valley of it. ; ; The rating of a 7-1/2 includes a half-point bonus for the ; coloring, which despite all efforts fails to make a silk purse ; of a sow's ear. ; ; The calculation time of 3-1/2 minutes drags a little. But at ; least IMO, the result is worth the wait. ; ; To avoid calculation, view the finished image on the FOTD web ; site at: ; ; ; ; The high-definition version is posted at: ; ; ; ; The original FOTD web site with the entire catalog of images may ; be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Lots of clouds, occasional showers and a temperature of 57F 14C ; made today an acceptable one here at Fractal Central. The ; fractal cats would have preferred the day to have been a little ; more aceptable, but found a good dose of excitement when Cassie ; spotted three squirrels playing games on the front porch and was ; joined by Nicholas in the tail-thrashing action. When the ; squirrels scampered up a large elm tree the dynamic duo of cats ; turned their attention to more important things such as asking ; for their daily tuna treats. ; ; The day of the humans (that's what they tell us we are) went ; according to plan, which is all two law-abiding citizens could ; ask for. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, ; take care, and as anyone here in Central Pennsylvania can ; confirm, even the most esteemed heroes sometimes fall from grace. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= In_a_New_Valley { ; time=0:03:30.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=FinDivBrot-2 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-0.7373689543282531/+0.1669337411074613\ /6.94115e+012/1/-62.5/0 params=9/1000000000.0/0/0 float=y maxiter=3200 inside=0 logmap=350 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000orhnrgmrflrekrdjrcirchrcgrcfrcercdrccrcb\ rcarcarcarcarcarcZrcWrcSrcPrcMrcJrcGrcDrcArc8rc8sc\ 8sc8tc8vc8xc8zc8zc8zc8zc6z_6zZ6zX6zW6yU6wS5vR5tP5r\ O5pM5oK5mJ4kH4iG4hE4fD4dC4dA2c82a62_52Z42X22W11U01\ S01R01P01O01M00K00J00H00G00E01D00E00G00G00H00H00J0\ 0J00K00K00M00M00O00O00P00P00R00R00S00S00U00U00W00W\ 00X00X00Z00Z00_00_00a00a00c00c00d00d00f00f00c00_01\ Z01W01U12R42O62M94JA4HD4EG5CJ5AK58O66R64U40U51W52W\ 62W64W84W85W96WA6WC8WD8XE9XGAXHAXJCXKCXMDXMDXMEXMG\ XMGZMHZMHZMJZMKZMKZMMZMMZMOZMMXMOZMOZMOZMOZMOZMOZM\ OZMOZMOZMOZMOZMOZMOZMOZMOZMOZMOZMOZaOaaOaaOaaOaaOa\ aOaaOaaOaaOaaOaaOaaOaaOaaOaaQaaSarUrrWrrYrr_rrarrc\ rrcrrcrrcrrcrrcrrcrrcrrcrrcrrcrzhzzhzzhzzhzzhzzmzz\ mzzmzzmzzmzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrz\ zrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzr\ zzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrz } frm:FinDivBrot-2 { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2), esc=(real(p2)+16), b=imag(p1): z=(b)*(z*z*fn1(z^(a)+b))+c |z| < esc } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
