; Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2012 19:07:55 -0400 ; From: Jim Muth ; Subject: [Fractint] FOTD 29-10-12 (The Missing Minibrot [5.5]) ; Id: <1.5.4.16.20121029181222.3667b480@earthlink.net> ; --------- ; ; FOTD -- October 29, 2012 (Rating 5.5) ; ; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: ; ; Today's image lies in the parent fractal that results when 1.5 ; parts of Z^(-1.24) are combined with 0.19 part of Z^(-7.26) on ; each iteration before (1/C) is added. This parent is a colossal ; sprawling thing hundreds of times the size of the default ; screen, which consists mostly of zig-zag filaments twisted into ; huge loops. Today's image is located in a more interesting area ; of the parent, not too far from the origin. ; ; I have named such scenes 'dry valleys'. From a distance it ; appears that minibrots might lie at their centers. The two-way ; symmetry is certainly there. But at the center of symmetry we ; find only saddle-shaped blank walls exactly as we find at the ; center of today's image. The name "The Missing Minibrot" refers ; to the disappointment at the centers of these dry valleys. ; ; The rating of a 5-1/2 indicates that the image leaves much to be ; desired. And the calculation time of 5 minutes also leaves much ; to be desired. A better time bargain may be found on the FOTD ; web sites. ; ; Check the finished image at: ; ; ; ; A hi-def rendering is at: ; ; ; ; The FOTD back images are at: ; ; ; ; Increasing wind and rain prevailed here at Fractal Central ; today. The wind and rain are the start of the big frankenstorm, ; which is not due to reach its peak until tomorrow morning. So ; far, the highest wind gust has been a not-too-impressive 37mph ; or 50kph, but winds of 70mph, 112kph are expected tomorrow. The ; rain so far has measured only 0.5 inch or 1.2cm -- also not too ; impressive. Up to 12 inches, 30cm is expected south of here ; however before it all ends on Wednesday. The temperature of 50F ; 10C was quite chilly for a tropical storm. Fractal cat Nicholas ; watched the goings on with interest, then viciously attacked his ; toy ball. The next FOTD is due in about 24 hours. If it fails ; to appear, don't wait up for it. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= TheMissingMinibrot { ; time=0:00:05.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-3.959516711/-0.158776657/874/1/-27.5/0 params=1.5/-1.24/0.19/-7.26/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1200 inside=zmag outside=tdis periodicity=6 colors=000fFnaLmXRlSXlOakJgjEmj9si5xi6te6pa7lY7hU8\ dR8`N9XJ9TFAPBAL8CKADJCEIEFHGGGHHFJJFLKENLDOMCQNBS\ OAUPAVADFBCEBCDBBDCBCCABCABD9AD99D89E88E77E77F66F6\ 5F65I59K5CM4FO4IQ4LS3OU3RW2UY2X_2_a1bc1ee0hg0ki0nb\ ATnT`zjhvlfrmdnncjoagp`cqZ_rXWsWStUPuTLvRHwPDxO9yM\ 6zL7uM8pM8kN9fN9aOAXOBSPBNPCIQCDQD8RD4RNOXXfaUg`Sh\ `Pi_Ni_Kj_IkZFkZDlYAmY8mY5nX3oX1oX6jZAe_E``IXaMSbR\ NcVIdZEeb9ff4gj0hk0jk0jm0km0mn0mp0np0pq0pq0qs0sx0t\ t0ss0sq0qp0qn0pm0pk0ph0ng0ne0md0mb0m`0k_0kW0jV0jzz\ 0zz0zz0zz0yz0xy0vx0tt0ts0sq0qp0pm0nk0mj0mg0ke0jd0h\ b0g_0eY0eW0dV0bS0`Q0_P0YN0YK0WJ0VH1TF1SE1QD1QD2PE2\ NF2MG2KH4JI4JJ4HK4GI5EG5CE5AC5AA5A84A62A51A41A30A2\ 0A10A00A00A00A00A00A00A00A00A00C00C00E20E40G50G92H\ A4HC7JG9JHCKJEKMHMNJMPMNSNNTQKTTMVSMVSNVSNVSPWQPWQ\ QWQQWQSWQSYPTYPTYPV`PV`PW`NW`NY`NY`N_`N_`M``M`aMba\ MbbMdbKdbKebKebKgbKgcJhcJ } 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 ;
