FL and I decided to take the day off and go ; out and have a good time. ; ; Today's image is named "Metempsychosis". This does not refer to ; some weird mental illness, it is another name for reincarnation ; or the transfer of souls from one physical body to another. (I ; leave it to the individual fractalist to decide exactly what a ; soul is.) I gave the image this name because it is a rebirth of ; the numbers of the most recent image, the one for April 6, which ; I quit working on a bit too soon. ; ; Today's image is a simple but dramatic recoloring of the same ; image. Actually, it is not exactly the same image. The image ; of April 6 had no logmap in effect, while today's version has a ; logmap value of 375. But it is close enough to be virtually ; identical. ; ; The color palette, which contrasts deep blues with fiery ; reds and oranges, is not a new one. It has often been used, but ; it raises the rating from a humdrum 6 to a very respectful 8. ; ; The calculation time is the same as that of the April 6 image -- ; a slightly slow 3-1/2 minutes. The web sites can eliminate the ; wait however. ; ; View the finished image online at: ; ; ; ; See a high-definition rendering at: ; ; ; ; Check all the past FOTD images at: ; ; ; ; Yesterday turned out to be such a perfect early spring day ; (cloudless skies and temperature of 61F 16C) that FL and I ; decided to take an expedition out to Bellefonte, which lies 55 ; miles (US measure) or 88 kilometers (real distance) west of FC, ; to visit an old movie theater that was turned into an antique ; emporium. The fractal cats, who were left behind, apparently ; slept most of the time we were away, though when we returned to ; FC we found that they had been active enough to finish the food ; we left out for them. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours, and that is virtually ; certain. Until then, take care, and what are those elusive ; souls made of? . . . perhaps some of those elusive theorized but ; undiscovered particles? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Metempsychosis { ; time=0:03:30.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip float=y center-mag=-35.046276247425/-45.939231961298/1.782\ 84e+008/1/-137/0 params=-1.3/-3.3/-3.3/-1.3/0/0/0/0 maxiter=2500 inside=0 logmap=375 periodicity=6 colors=00000f00e00d00c00b00a00`00_00Z00Y00X00W00V0\ 0U00T00S00P00O80M21KE2JA3GK4EO4CU5Aa58c66o64mB4rF4\ sJ4tN4vS4wW4x_4yc4zg4vh3sh3pi3mi2ij2fj2cj1`k1Xk1Ul\ 0Rk5QjAPiFOhKNgPNfUMeXMd`Lc`KbaKaaJaaJaaIabIabHabL\ lUHabDRk9GtCIlFKeIMZKOSNQLQSETU7VW0WY2W_4Xa6Xb8YdA\ YfCZhEZiG_kI_mK`oM`pO_nMZlLZjKYiJYgIXeHWdGWbFV`EVZ\ DUYCTWBTUAST9SR8RP7PN7RO6TO6VP6WP5YP5_Q5`Q5bR4dR4f\ R4gS3kS3mS3oT3qT2rU2vU2zU1zV1wZ1zc1zh3zm4vr6rr7mm9\ mmAccCccDUUEUUFKKFKKGGCHIEHJGIMIIPKJSMKVOKYQL_UNYR\ LXPJWNHULGTJETHCSEBSC9SA7Y86c64c42c21h33h45h56h58c\ 69U7BJ7CI8EH9FGAHFAIEBKDCLCCNBDOAEQ9FR8FT7Gc6Hm5Hz\ 5Hm6If7J`8KV9IU9FUABTBDTCESDBSDIREKRFKQGPPHUPHVOIW\ OJYNK_NLaMLcMMdLNeLOfKOfKQeJSeITdHVdGXcFYbE_aDa_Cb\ ZBdXAeX9gW8iW7jW6lV5nV4oU3qU2tX1r_2qa3pb4oc5me6lg6\ ki7jk8hm9goAfqAesBcuCbwDaxEmzA`zEOzICzMDzPDzRDzTDz\ VDzXPz_Oz_pzHmzJjzLgzMdzO } 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 ;
