These parent ; fractals, which usually go un-appreciated, are sometimes weird ; enough all by themselves to be worth FOTD status. Today's image ; is one of these ridiculously weird parent fractals. It is just ; crazy enough to be noticed and hopefully appreciated. (It is ; filled with minibrots, one of which will be posted as the next ; FOTD.) ; ; I named the image "A Phantom Parent" because I have the ; impression that the orangish valleys toward the east and west ; edges of the image are parts of a larger unseen fractal that ; lurks in the background but defies being brought out into the ; open. ; ; The generating expression mixes an unlikely portion of Z^(2.3) ; with an equally unlikely portion of Z^(4.6), and then adds ; cosxx(C), which is not a true function at all, but an early ; complex-math mistake that was retained to keep the wrong images ; it had created compatible with the corrected program. ; ; With XY symmetry and a maxiter of only 750, the image is almost ; instantaneous. I have listed the calculation time at 10 ; seconds, though on most SOTA units, the image will run in about ; 3 seconds. ; ; The finished image is posted at: ; ; ; ; with a Hi-Def version at: ; ; ; ; and thousands of back images at: ; ; ; ; Total sun made today a brilliant midwinter day here at Fractal ; Central. The temperature started at a cold 12F -11C but under ; the warm sun reached a more reasonable 34F +1C in the afternoon. ; The fractal cat enjoyed the afternoon sun on his window shelf, ; but he still misses his companion, who shared the shelf with him ; until she went to cat heaven several months ago. The humans had ; a day that could have been improved upon. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted shortly. Until we find out how ; long shortly is, take care, and every economic problem seems to ; hit poor people the hardest. I guess this is why poverty is so ; unpopular. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= A_Phantom_Parent { ; time=0:00:10.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=cosxx float=y center-mag=0/0/0.69 params=-2/2.3/1/4.6/-0.02/0/0/0 maxiter=750 inside=0 symmetry=xyaxis periodicity=6 colors=000GSNTT_RVaQXbOZdNaeLdfKhhIliHpkFplEomCnoB\ mpAmq9mn8mk8kh7if7gc6f`6eZ5dW4cT4bQ3aO3`L2_I2ZG3YK\ 4XO4WR5VV5UYzmazmdzmezmfzmfzmgzmgzmbzmZzmVzmQzmMzm\ IzmIzmIzmIzmJzcJzcJzcJzcJzcJzcJzcJzcJzcJzcJzcKzcKz\ XKzXKzXKzTOzXKzWKzWKzWKzWKzWLzWLzWLzWLzWLzVLzVLzVL\ zVLzVLzVLzVMzVMzVMzUMzUMzUMzUMzUMzUMzUMzUNzUNzTNzT\ NzTNzTNzTNzTNzTNzTNzJOzLNzNNzPNzRNzLMzMNzMNzNNzNNz\ NNzONzONzPNzPNzPNzQNzQNzRNzRNzRNzSNzSNzTNzTNzgQyfP\ xfPwePwePvePudPudPtcPscPrcPrbPqbPpaOpaOoaOn`Om`Om_\ Ol_Ok_OkZOjZOiYOhYOhYOgXNfXNfWNeWNdWNzVNzVNzUNzUNz\ UNzTNzTNzBYzCXzDXzDWzEWzFWzFVzGVzHUzHUzIUzJTzJTzKS\ zKSzLSzMRzMRzNQzOQzOQzPPzQPzQOzROzSOzSNzTNzdWzaTzZ\ RzWPqqJppKooKonKnnKnmKmlKmlKlkKzjLziLziLzhLzgLzgLz\ fLzeLzdLzdMzcMzbMzbMzaMz`Mz_Mz_MzZMzYNzYNzXNzWNzVN\ zVNzUNzTNzx`zw_zv_zu_zuZztZzsZzrYzrYzqYzpXroXzoXzn\ WzmWzlWzlVzkVzjVziUziUzhU } 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 ;
