All is ; not lost however, for I found today's image, which is nowhere ; near the best of all time, but is not the worst either. ; ; The image is the third venture into the same parent fractal, ; this time into the southern shore of the valley on the west side ; of the main bay. The nature of this valley is unclear, though ; it impresses me as an 'east valley' type of thing. ; ; The effect of overlapping bubbles was created by rendering the ; scene with the outside set to 'fmod'. At the moment I forget ; exactly what 'fmod' stands for, but whatever it is, it sometimes ; creates interesting images. ; ; The rating of a 4 could have been several points higher if the ; hastily-found canary-yellow background had not been so ridicu- ; lously intense. This over-intense background is the inspiration ; for the name "Sing Like a Canary". ; ; The calculation time of 40 seconds is near the speed of light, ; and will cause no impatience even for those with the shortest ; attention spans. ; ; Avoid the nuisance of calculating the image from the parameter ; file by viewing it already completed on the official FOTD web ; site at: ; ; ; ; The image is available in high-definition at: ; ; ; ; The original FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; The weather was uneventful here at Fractal Central today. The ; temperature of 52F 11C was close to normal. The clouds were ; thin enough to let some sun through, but thick enough to prevent ; the day from being described as sunny. The fractal cats were ; annoyed by our absence, and did not concern themselves with ; outside conditions. ; ; It's the shopping season again, so FL and I did our share to ; keep the seasonal spirit high and the merchants' cash registers ; jingling for a good part of the day. I really dislike shopping, ; but I guess it's part of everyone's duty as a free citizen to go ; out and keep the economy moving. The next FOTD will be posted ; in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and the greatest illusion ; creator of all time is the universe. It actually has people ; convinced that it's really out there. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Sing_Like_a_Canary { ; time=0:00:40.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip center-mag=+0.4256990867374576/-0.0058614268071302\ /3.66784e+008/1/42.5/0 params=1/2/-2/-0.015/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1600 inside=0 proximity=0.1 outside=fmod periodicity=6 colors=000_BTZATZAUY9UY9UX8VX8VW8WW7WV7WV6XU6XU5YT\ 5YU3ZT5YT6YT7XT8XS9XSAWSBWSCWRDVREVRFURGUQHUQITQKT\ QLTQMSPNSPORPPRPQRORQOSQOTQOUPNVPNWONXONZON_NM`NMa\ NMbMMcMLdLLeLLfLLgKKhKKiKKjJKkJKlJJjKJiKJhLIgLIfMI\ eMIdNHcNHbOHaOH`PG_PGZQGYQGXRFWRFVSFUSFTTERTEQUEPU\ EOVDNVDMWDLWDKXCJXCIYCHYCGZBFZBE_BD_BC`AB`AAaA9`A8\ _99Y99X99V9AU9AS9AR9AQ9BR9BR8BS8BS8CT8CT8CU8DU8DU8\ DT8DT7ET7ES7ES7ER7FR7FQ7FQ7GP7GP6GO6GO6HN6HN6HM6HM\ 6IL6IL6IK6IK5JK5JJ5JJ5KI5KI5KH5KH5LG5LG4LF4LF4ME4M\ E4MD4ND4NC4NC4NB3OB3OB3OA3OA3P93P93P83Q83Q72Q72Q62\ R62R52R52R42S42S32S30R12S33S44S55T66T87T98UAAUBBUC\ CVEDVFEVGFWHGWIIWKJXLKXMLXNMYPNYQOYRQZSRZTSZVT_WU_\ XV_YW`ZzzjzzRzzKzzDzzKzzRzzmbOYaNY`MX_MWZLWYLVXKUW\ KUWJTVISUISTHRSHQRGQQGPPFOOEONENMDMLDMLCLKCKJBKIAJ\ HAIG9IF9HE8GD8GC7FB6EB6EA5D95C84C74B63A52A42931821\ 8107107X85W86W86W87W87W87 } 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 ;
