The scene is ; rather deep in the valley, requiring a maxiter of 1,500,000, ; which makes its calculation quite slow, in the range of several ; hours on older machines. On S.O.T.A. (state-of-the-art) units, ; with DOS capability, the calculation is much faster, more like ; 15 minutes, but there is still no denying that the image is a ; slow one. The individual viewer must decide if the result is ; worth the wait. ; ; I rated the image at an 8, mostly because it is a reasonably ; unfamiliar scene in the all-too-familiar Mandelbrot set. I ; named it "Underwater Scene" because it is located deep in the ; 'watery' Seahorse Valley. ; ; Those with slow computers can save a couple hours by viewing the ; finished image on the official FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Those with S.O.T.A. units can still save several minutes. ; ; High-definition versions of recent images are online at: ; ; ; ; The thousands of back images and discussions may be seen at: ; ; ; ; Clouds, light snow and a temperature of 30F -1C made for a ; winterish scene today here at Fractal Central. The fractal cat ; spent much time by the heat, trying to persuade the humans to ; turn it up. The humans spent lunch time watching the ; inauguration ceremonies and the rest of the time keeping busy ; with the regular work. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted when the time is right. Until ; whenever, take care, and I noticed much less enthusiasm in ; today's ceremonies than I saw four years ago. Maybe people are ; disappointed. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Underwater_Scene { ; time=0:15:00.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=mandel center-mag=-0.7499986559107\ 32/+0.002303751935777/1.1e+011/1/177.5/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=1500000 inside=0 logmap=120000 periodicity=6 passes=t mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000RlmRmlRnlPjjOfiMcgL_fJWdITcHPaFL`EIZCEYB\ AWA7VFCXJGZNK`RPbVTdZXfbagfeijikvypnnmrrovvqhb2jd7\ kfBmhGnjKplPqnTspXtravtewvjyxnF9CLGIRNNXUTb_Yhfbnm\ httmKDLZUXljgGnEKoHNpKQqNTrPWrSZsVatYeu_hvbkvenwhq\ xjtymwzpEzRbzdCqGPtQav_nxigCcqakLk2WoGesTpwe0_nrol\ usnxwptByvTvxit8ezMkx_pvZJfZJf`NgbQhdTifWjhZjjakld\ lmfmoinqlnsoopRSoNZnKeoLcoMbpNapN_qOZqPYrPWrQVsRUs\ RStSRtTQuUPuUNvVMvWLwWJwXIxYHxYFyZEy_Dy_CvVAsR9pM8\ mI6TNXg94eB6cD7bF9`HA_JCYLDXNFVOGTQISSJQXLPWMNYOM_\ PKaRIbSHdUFdVEhXCjYBl_9n`8ba7gd6`f6Th5Mj4El47n35d2\ 4W12M01D25C48B6CA7FA9J9BM8DQ7ET7GX6I_5Kc4Lf4Nj3Pm2\ Qp2Pj1Pd1PZ1PU1PO1PI1PD1QH0RL0SO0TS0UV0VZ0Va0Xd4Yf\ 7_hA`kEbmHcoKerOftRhvUixXjsYjnZkj_ke`kaalXblTclOdm\ KemFfmBgkDfjFfiHehIegKeeMddNdcPcbRcaSc`UbZWbYYaXZa\ W`aVb`Uc`Se_Rg_Qi_PmZOoZNqZPsXQuWSwVcyUczTczfcztcz\ sczrmzrmzqmzpmzpmzomznmzn } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
