It looks nothing ; at all like the Seahorse Valley scenes we are so familiar with ; because it is sliced in an odd direction -- rotated 30 degrees ; from the Julia toward the Rectangular orientation. ; ; While viewing the image, (and hopefully enjoying it), the viewer ; might wonder where Seahorse Valley is located in the frame. ; Actually, the valley has gone nowhere. The image is immersed in ; it. Everything in the scene is a part of the valley. ; ; The detail in the arch was supplied by the 'tdis' outside ; coloring option, which colors the points according to how far ; they travel before finally escaping. ; ; I named the image "Un-natural Arch" because of the prominent ; arch that fills the frame. It almost reminds me of a week or so ; I spent in Saint Louis quite a few years ago. ; ; The rating of an 8 might be a bit excessive. But then again, ; what is the penalty for padding a rating. ; ; The calculation time of 4 minutes is slower than ideal, but the ; web sites are always available to make life more efficient. ; ; So save that time. Check the finished image at: ; ; ; ; and the high-definition renderings at: ; ; ; ; The back FOTD's are available at: ; ; ; ; The day began with snow here at Fractal Central, but a rising ; temperature changed to snow to rain before noon. Occasional ; rain continued the rest of the day, making a slushy mess of the ; area. The fractal cat took one look out the window and decided ; to settle down by the heat. The humans had enough inside stuff ; to finish to keep their minds off the outside weather. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in the very foreseeable future. ; Until whenever, take care, and why do they need exploding ; fireworks at music concerts? Does today's music itself lack ; power, or have audiences become so desensitized that in addition ; to the amplified sound, they now need a light show to create ; total sensory overload? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Un-natural_Arch { ; time=0:04:00.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=SliceJulibrot4 passes=t maxiter=3600 center-mag=0.0774812/-0.0170439/20.36076/1/-90/6.0\ 8852815419518389 params=90/90/60/90/-0.753/0/0.5/0\ /2/0 float=y inside=0 outside=tdis periodicity=6 colors=000I3I_FWpQijSeeUa`WYVYUQ_QLaMFcIAeE5gA0i66\ e8Ca9HYBNUCTQDYMFcIGhEHfHGeKFdNFcQEaTE`WD_ZDZaCYdC\ DsKFrMHrNJqOLqPNpQPpRRoTToUVnVXnWZmX_mY0yDUsRwndm7\ zg9xaBvWDtQFrKHpFJnMKgTK`_KUeKOlKHsKAyP4sU7mZAgcCa\ fFWiIQnKPo8Qr7Qw6Qo5Ql5Qi4Qd3Q`3QX2QT1QP1MW1Ha1Di1\ Fo4Go7HiAJhCKgFLfINeKOeNPdQRcSSbVTaYV`_W_bXZeYZg_W\ iaUjcRlePmgMniKpkHqmFsoCtqAus7wu5xw3ysCwpLvmTtjasg\ iqdrpazo`vn`sn`pn`mm`jm`fm`cl``l`Yl`Vk`Rk`Ok`Lj`Ij\ `Fj`CjZEhXGgVIeTKdSMcQOaOQ`MS_KUYJWXHYVF_UDaTBcRAe\ Q8gP6iN4kM3lLWq`Wq`Xr`Xr`Yr`eEJeELeFMeGNeGPeHQdHRd\ ITdJUdJVdKXdKYdLZdM`cMacNbcNdcOecPfcPhcQidPlcQjcRi\ cShbTfbUebUdaVbaWaaX`aYZ`ZY`ZX`_V_`U_aT_bR_cQZcPZd\ NZeMYfLYgJYhIjeLYhHLkD9mABnBDoBEpBGpCIqCJrCLsDMsDO\ tDQuERvETvEVwFWxFYyFZyFYvIXsKXpMWmOVjQVgSUdUUaWTZY\ SW`STbRQdRNfQKhPHjPElOBnO8pCRJBSLBTMBUNBVOBWPBXQBY\ RBZSB_TB`UBaVBbWBcXBdYAeZ } frm:SliceJulibrot4 {; draws all slices of Julibrot pix=pixel, u=real(pix), v=imag(pix), a=pi*real(p1*0.0055555555555556), b=pi*imag(p1*0.0055555555555556), g=pi*real(p2*0.0055555555555556), d=pi*imag(p2*0.0055555555555556), ca=cos(a), cb=cos(b), sb=sin(b), cg=cos(g), sg=sin(g), cd=cos(d), sd=sin(d), p=u*cg*cd-v*(ca*sb*sg*cd+ca*cb*sd), q=u*cg*sd+v*(ca*cb*cd-ca*sb*sg*sd), r=u*sg+v*ca*sb*cg, s=v*sin(a), esc=imag(p5)+9 c=p+flip(q)+p3, z=r+flip(s)+p4: z=z^(real(p5))+c |z|< esc } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
