But today, we're back up ; and running with a remarkable scene in the 4-dimensional Z^2+C ; Julibrot. ; ; The scene is located in the Scepter Valley area at an angle ; oriented halfway between the Mandelbrot and Oblate planes. (The ; Mandelbrot orientation is determined by the real(c) and imag(c) ; axes; the Oblate, by the imag(c) and real(z) axes.) ; ; At first glance, the image bears little resemblance to either a ; Mandelbrot scene or a Julia scene. This is because it is a ; hybrid scene, half Julia and half Mandelbrot. ; ; Much of the unexpected appearance was created by the outside ; fill of 'bof61', which is responsible for most of the smoothly ; colored areas. ; ; The original name I gave to the image was 'Christmas Fantasy'. ; I changed it to "Seasonal Fantasy" to avoid offending the ; secular community. ; ; The calculation time of 2 minutes is a fair price for the image. ; ; To avoid the calculation, check the finished image on the ; official FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; And be sure to check the image in the full splendor of high- ; definition at: ; ; ; ; The original classic FOTD web site with all the FOTD images and ; discussions since April 1997, and also pictures of the fractal ; cats as well as the fractalist himself, may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; The weather today was uneventful and rather pleasant for late ; December, with partly cloudy skies and a temperature of 45F +7C. ; As for the fractal cats, after a day of getting into trouble ; with the tree and the wrappings, they had no energy to worry ; about the outside weather. They took it easy most all day. ; Their big excitement came when an orange tomcat we have named ; Marmalade passed by, marking the territory as he went. ; ; The humans spent the day recovering from the day before. The ; next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, ; and in the seventh grade, when I asked Sister Mary Thomas why ; heaven is invisible, she replied that if we could see heaven, ; there would be no need for faith. When I tried to say more, she ; told me to sit down and shut up. Her reply made no sense to me ; then. Today, after a half century, it makes even less sense. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Seasonal_Fantasy { ; time=0:02:00.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=SliceJulibrot4 center-mag=-0.742221/0/\ 16.848/1/-90/0 params=0/0/45/0/-0.75/0/-0.503/0/2/0 passes=t float=y maxiter=1000 inside=bof61 logmap=37 periodicity=0 colors=00030S0E_0E_0E_32R0E_1E_2E_33Q4G_5G_6GY34P8\ KY9KY8KY35N6OY6PY5QY35M7Xi5We5Wb15L4SY3QW2PR25L1LO\ 1JL1HK05K0GK0FK0EK05K0DK0CK0BK05K09K08K08K04K06K06\ K05K03J04I03H02G02F02E02D02C02B02A02B02C02702E0250\ 2402301201101001001201401602803A04C05E15G05I05K16N\ 48Q27T59W6AY8E_BHbDJbGMeIPgLTiNWkR_nWcqXerajwdnzel\ zktzqyzvzzizzszzszzqzzqzzpwzpwznwznwznwznwzjtqjtqj\ tqhtphtogqngqmeqkeqkeqkeqkbohbohbog`of`oe_le_ldZlc\ ZlbZlbZlaWi_Wi_Wi_UiYUiXUgXUgWSgUSgUSgUSgTPeRPeQPe\ QOePOePMbOMbOLbLLbLLbLLeKLbLLbLK_LJ_KIYKIYLHYKGWKG\ WKETIETJERJCRJCRJCPIAPJAOIAOJ8LI8LI8LI6KH6KI6II5II\ 5IK5IK5IL5HL5HL4HO4HO5HP4GP4GP4GR3GR4GT4GT3ET3FW3F\ W3EY3EY3DY2E_2D_3Db2Db2Cb2De2Ce2Cg2Bg1Cg2Ci2Bi2Bl2\ Al2Al29o29o08q18o19o29o2Al2Al3Bl4Dl4Di5Ei6Fi7Gi8Hg\ 9IgKIgKJeKKeKMeUOeUMbUPbUPbcRacQ_cSYcTWcVUcVSmWQmZ\ OmcMmhKzmIzrGzvEzzCzzAzz8 } frm:SliceJulibrot4 {; draws all slices of Julibrot pix=pixel, u=real(pix), v=imag(pix), a=pi*real(p1*0.0055555555555556), b=pi*imag(p1*0.0055555555555556), g=pi*real(p2*0.0055555555555556), d=pi*imag(p2*0.0055555555555556), ca=cos(a), cb=cos(b), sb=sin(b), cg=cos(g), sg=sin(g), cd=cos(d), sd=sin(d), p=u*cg*cd-v*(ca*sb*sg*cd+ca*cb*sd), q=u*cg*sd+v*(ca*cb*cd-ca*sb*sg*sd), r=u*sg+v*ca*sb*cg, s=v*sin(a), esc=imag(p5)+9 c=p+flip(q)+p3, z=r+flip(s)+p4: z=z^(real(p5))+c |z|< esc } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
