; Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2012 19:16:37 -0400 ; From: Jim Muth ; Subject: [Fractint] FOTD 24-04-12 (Tinseltown Toyland [8]) ; Id: <1.5.4.16.20120427191930.2ba7fe9a@earthlink.net> ; --------- ; ; FOTD -- April 27, 2012 (Rating 6) ; ; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: ; ; Today's image rates a 6, nothing to brag about but still better ; than the image of two days ago, which rated an even lower 5. ; Today's image is half-evaporated, with the open inside parts ; rendered with the inside set to 'bof61'. "bof61" refers to page ; 61 of a certain book about fractals, on which the algorithm ; first appears. The outside is set to 'imag', which is short for ; imaginary. ; ; The half-evaporated state means exactly what it says. The ; imaginary(p3) parameter, which sets the bailout radius, is set ; to 6000. In fractals with two negative exponents of Z, the ; outside parts begin to evaporate as the bailout is increased. ; In today's image the evaporation has progressed about half way. ; ; The effect of all this manipulating is today's image, a very ; sandy one indeed, far too busy for an exceptional rating, yet ; with enough interest, at least IMO, to be declared FOTD for the ; day. ; ; The name "The Pigeon Drop" has nothing to do with the image, nor ; with the mess pigeons leave behind. It's the name given to an ; old scam in which gullible victims would be tricked into turning ; over their money to the scammer, expecting a quick profit in ; return. ; ; The calculation time of 2-1/4 minutes is a minor scam. The ; image is not really worth it. But those who do not take time to ; calculate the image will never know what they have missed. ; Luckily however, there is a way out of the dilemma at the web ; sites. ; ; The calculation may be avoided by viewing the finished image on ; the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; A high-definition version is available at: ; ; ; ; The past images are online at: ; ; ; ; Heavy clouds and a temperature of 50F 10C made today feel more ; like November than late in April. The fractal cats wanted more ; sun but settled for more tuna. The humans spent the day doing ; routine business. The next FOTD is due to be posted in 24 ; hours, but things have been unpredictable here lately so don't ; be surprised if it is late. Until whenever, take care, and the ; great breakthrough is coming. But who knows where we will go ; from here. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= The_Pigeon_Drop { ; time=0:02:15.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+1.773275419694291/+1.386414033011382/\ 2.205521e+010/1/-5/0 params=-3.2/-2.2/1.6/-4.4/0/\ 6000/0/0 float=y maxiter=1800 inside=bof61 outside=imag logmap=135 periodicity=6 colors=000000EGEBEA8D7BG9EJAHLBKOCNRDQJEJFGWSHOMIa\ cJdfKghLzkNznOzpPzsQzvRzxSzwUzvVzvXzuYzt_zt`isbgsc\ erecqf`qhZpzXozVozYszMszUtzXuz_vzbrzeszhtjkuimvipd\ grOft7esAdsCcrEbrHarJaqL`qN_qQZpSYpUYpWXoZWo`VobVn\ dUngTniSmkRmmRmpQlrPltOlvOiuNguNeuNcuNauM_uMYuMWuM\ UuLSuLQuLOuLMuLKuKIuKGuKEuKCuJAuJ8uJ6uJ4uJ3vI3vI3v\ I3vI3vH3vH3wH3wH3wH3wG3wG3wG3xG3xF3xF3xF3xF3xF5yE6\ yE8yE9yDAyDCyDDyCFyCGyCHyBJyBKyBLyANyAOyAQy9Ry9Sy9\ Uy8Vy8Wy8SlJP`UMPdNOeNNeNMeOMeOLeOKePKePJePIeQIeQH\ eQGeRGeRFeREeREePFbOG`NHYMIWLJTKKRJLPIMMHMKGNHFOFE\ PDDQACR8BS5AT39T1BU2CU2DU3EU3FV4GV4HV5IV5JV5KW6LW6\ MW7NW7OX8PX8QX9RX9SX9vOSsNRqMQoLPlKOjJNhIMfHLmHLmG\ KmFJmEIzDHzCGzBFzBFzAGzAHz9Iz9JzzJzzKzzLzzMzzNzzNz\ zOzzPzzQzzQzzSzzTzzUzzWzzXzzYzz_zz`zzazzbzzdzzezzf\ zzhzzizzjzzkzzmzznzzozzqzzrLzsLztMzsMzsNzsNzsNzrOz\ rOzrOzrPzqPzqPzqQzqNzPKzL } 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 ;
