This ; is because it is combined with the Z^2+C Mandelbrot set in such ; a way that the excessively large and numerous minibrots found in ; the Z^5+C Mandeloid are separated much more widely and the ; in-between space filled in. ; ; The parent fractal is an oversized Mandelbrot set already ; starting to look a little weird in places. Today's scene is ; located in the basin of a larger quintic minibrot that lies in a ; small island of debris inside the bud located just beyond the ; large bud on the X-axis of the parent. ; ; I named the image "A Round Pentagram" after the rounded ; pentagram immediately surrounding the central minibrot. A ; pentagram is the familiar 5-pointed star, which is a religious ; symbol when oriented with a point facing upward, and a symbol of ; occultism when rotated 36 degrees so that it resembles a goat's ; head, with a point facing downward. ; ; The rating of a 7 is in the ball park of average. If I had put ; extra effort into the coloring, the image might have rated an 8. ; ; The calculation time of a speed-of-light 45 seconds will pass in ; a flash. The flashing, which might be confused with bomb ; testing, thereby causing a sudden unwelcome arrival of security ; forces, may be avoided by checking one of the web sites. ; ; The finished image is posted online on the official FOTD web ; site at: ; ; ; ; High-quality renderings are at: ; ; ; ; and the back images are at: ; ; ; ; A near perfect day prevailed here at Fractal Central today, with ; lots of sun, gentle breezes and a temperature of 70F 21C. ; Clouds arrived later in the afternoon, but by then all the ; outdoor activities were nearly finished. The fractal cat seems ; to be resigned that no more sun will be falling on his window ; shelf until autumn, and has claimed my favorite chair as his ; bed. The humans are resigned that autumn will eventually come, ; followed by winter. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in the divinely ordained time. ; Until whenever that is, take care, and believe it or not, some ; people actually are puzzled by the way I feel at peace when I am ; out alone without a cell phone. The truth is that it is quite ; easy to be at peace when out of contact with others. After ; getting hooked on computers, I simply refused to become addicted ; to any additional absolutely necessary conveniences of modern ; technological life, without which survival would be in doubt. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= A_Round_Pentagram { ; time=0:00:45.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MultiExp function=recip periodicity=6 center-mag=-8.120884801079228/+0.01070920339951809\ /3.235e+011/1/9.5/0 params=5/6 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=96 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=0000Si0Rf0Qd0Pa0O_0MX0KV0IS0GQ0EN0CL0AI08G0\ 6D44A53B66B78B8AB9CCAECAFCBHCCJCDLDENDFPDFPDGQEHRE\ ISEJTEKUELVFMVFOWFQXFSYGUZGZaGcdGhgGmjHrmHmrHhmHch\ FZeGUhHPmIDrGEvIFwKFrLGmNHhPHcQIZSJWUJVVKUXLSZLR_H\ KXIKZINVJMXFLZFJ_GIaHHcHFdIEfJDhG5nJCiQJeSQfUXg_Z_\ YYa`_cZ`eXagV`zT`zR_zP_zNZzJYzLZzM_zN`zO`zPazQbzRc\ zSczTdzUezVezWfzXgzYhzZhz_iz`jzajzbkzclzdmzemzfnzg\ ozhozaizWczPYzJSzCMz6Gz7Hz8Hz9IzAIzBIzBJzCJzDJzEKz\ FKzFLzGLzHLzIMzJMzJMzKNzLNzMOzNOzOOzOPzPPzQPzRQzSQ\ zSRzTRzURzVSzWSzXTzWSzVSzUSzTSzSSzRSzQSzPSzOSzNSzM\ SzLSzKSzJSzISzHSzUSzUSzUSzUSzUSzUSzUSzUSzUSzUTzUTz\ cTzcUzcUzcUzcVzcVzcVzcWzcWzmWzmXzmXzmXzmYzmYzmYzmZ\ zzZzzZzz_zz_zz_zz_zz_zz_zz_zz_zz_zz_zz_zz_zz_zz_zz\ _zz_zz_zz_zz_zz_zz_zz_zz_zz_zz_zz_zz_zz_zz_zz_zzbz\ z`zz_zzZzzZzzZzzZzzZzzZzzZzzZzzZzzZzzZzzZzzdlzblza\ lz`kzZkzYjzXjzVjzUizTizTl } frm:MultiExp { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2), b=imag(p1)+0.00000000000000000001: z=z*z*fn1(z^(a)+b)+c |z| < 100000000 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
