The rating of the image is ; another average 7, which was held down a half-point or so ; because I re-used yesterday's color palette. ; ; The Zexpe fractal holds much more variety than I have revealed ; in the two most recent images. I will show some of this variety ; in the next few FOTD's. ; ; The calculation time of 40 seconds is decidedly fast, and will ; assure that no boredom has time to creep into their fractal ; adventure. ; ; Make life easier by viewing the image on the official FOTD web ; site at: ; ; ; ; and thereby avoiding the calculation hassle. ; ; Make life more enjoyable by checking the high-definition version ; at: ; ; ; ; Make life more fulfilling by studying the thousands of past FOTD ; images at: ; ; ; ; Shortly after post time yesterday a heavy thunder-storm moved ; in, complete with high winds and hailstones. The fractal cats ; became skittish when they heard the clatter, but held their ; ground. When the storm moved out, we congratulated them for ; their bravery and rewarded them with a treat of their favorite ; food. ; ; Today began with clouds and rain, the rain ended early, but the ; clouds remained into the afternoon, making the overall day ; unpleasant. The fractal cats spent most of the time in their ; cat cube complex. The humans spent the day pondering the ; mysteries of existence, which despite our supposedly advanced ; science, remain totally mysterious. ; ; The next FOTD will soon be posted. The only mystery is exactly ; when. Until whenever that might be, take care, and before we ; can determine whether God exists, we must decide exactly what is ; meant by the word 'God'. After all, the impersonal creative ; event of some is nothing at all like the personal creator of ; fundamentalists. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Zexpe_Spiral { ; time=0:00:40.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=slices.frm formulaname=MandelbrotN center-mag=-0.723015505957\ 7027/+0.1274920617845996/4.392976e+010/1/-42.5/0 params=2.71828182845905/0/0/0/0/0 float=y inside=0 maxiter=1500 bailout=6 logmap=85 periodicity=6 colors=00000H00C0070020001G77OGDYNJeVOjaVoearhjwlq\ zpxzzzzzC0zD0UY1Np3HwYdzozxhwsTskchckZWrORuVOzzczz\ oqzzgzzWamZVmUPccCcb7Ua3NR9GGE95J70N60Q50T40W30ZPv\ oSpiVjdYeZ`_UcVOfPJiKEmQJk`djacjbcicbhcahdage`ff_f\ f_egZdhYdhYff_he`idakcblbcnadp`fq_gsZhtYivXjwWkwVj\ wUiwUiwThwThwSgwSgwRfwRfwQewQewPdwPdwOcwOcwNbwNbwM\ awL`wL`wK_wK_wJZwJZwIYwIYwHXwHXwGWwGWwFVwFVwEUwEUw\ DTwDTpFYjHbdIgZKlTLpFBkHEfJGaLJXNLSONOPPNPQNQRNQSN\ RTMRUMRVMSWMSYLTZLT_LT`LUaKUbKVcKVeJWfJWgJWhJXiIXj\ IYkIYlIZnHZoHZpHweyqe0oe6meCkeIjeOgeUmq_mqemqkmqmm\ qpmqqmqsmqvmqwmqymqzmqxmqwmqmmqerqYzzPzzHzzRzz`zzj\ zzszzzzzzzzyzzxzz2zzDzzIzzLzzQzzUuzYuzTuzPuzKuzHuz\ Duz8uz5uz1zzOzzhzzzyzHlzL`zPPzUDzY1z`6zYAzVEzTJzQO\ zNRzKWzI_zG`zVazjkzauzUzzNzzVzzazzjzzqzzxszslzofzk\ _zfTzaNzZGzU9zQ7zW5z`3zf1zk0zp0zv0zz0zz0zx3zr7zlCz\ eGz_KzUOzOPzNQzL8zP0zQ0zL } frm:MandelbrotN {; Jim Muth b=p1, z=p2, c=p3+pixel: z=z^(b)+c, |z| <= 16 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
