The fractal, which is ; rotated 90 degrees, lies on the main stem of its parent, an ; oversized Mandelbrot set that is on its way to becoming a cubic ; Mandeloid. The exact location of the scene is in a blunt valley ; jutting eastward into the second bud out the main spike, which ; is already splitting into the cubic-bud shape, with two lobes. ; ; The rating of an 8 is based on the unusual cubic shield-like ; pattern and also on my semi-expert coloring, which some say is ; great and others say is amateurish. All I can say is that great ; art is not created in the matter of the minutes that I spent on ; today's image. ; ; I went back to the 'DivideBrot5' formula for today's image ; because this formula does some types of mixed-power images ; better than the 'FinDivBrot-2' formula that I usually use. ; ; The calculation time of 2 minutes might be just slow enough to ; give restlessness a chance to appear. The wiser way to see the ; finished image is to visit the FOTD web sites. ; ; Find your happiness at: ; ; ; ; where the image is posted already calculated. ; ; And clarify your vision at: ; ; ; ; where the high-definition versions are posted. ; ; The thousands of back images are online at: ; ; ; ; bringing joy beyond comprehension to those who venture there. ; ; Perfect weather still prevailed here at Fractal Central today, ; with a cloudless sky, gentle breeze and temperature of 70F 21C. ; The fractal cat took it in stride, being more concerned with ; pigeons roosting in the area. The humans had an average day, ; which is pleasant to experience but boring to write about. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted quite soon, and that is not boring. ; Until soon arrives, take care, and we should not be angry at big ; corporations such as oil and phone companies for making such ; obscene profits at our expense. We should be angry at ourselves ; for having allowed ourselves to become addicted to their flashy ; products, thereby assuring these powerful conglomerates that ; their obscene profits will continue to grow. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Well_Shielded { ; time=0:02:00.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basic.frm formulaname=DivideBrot5 float=y maxiter=1900 center-mag=-3.866658236650682/0/7.70961e+009/1/90/0 params=3/3 inside=0 logmap=268 periodicity=6 colors=000B2bB5aB8_ABZAEYAHX9KW9NV9RU9VTI_RQd7YhBm\ nAqzAut9wo9wi9wd9wZ9wU9009006IJ9IOBHUDHZFGdH9gFUF`\ VFaWGbYGcZGd_GeaGgbGhdHieHjfHkhHliHmjHnfMjcQg_VcXZ\ `TcXQgUMlQJpNGtKIsLKsLMsLOrLQrMSrMUqMWqMYqNZqN`pNb\ pNdpOfoOhoOjoOlnPnnPpnPqnPrkUrhYrearber_irXmrUqrSu\ mUphVkcWfZ_aUbYYbbaefeikimomqtqrxouvmvtlwrjxpiyngz\ mfzkdzibzgaze_zdczbgv`krZooXrlWviUwfSwcQwcOzhNzhQK\ KSKKUHKWGKYFK_FKaoE`oAio6ro2zk9yhFyeLyaRyZXyWbyYOm\ ZAbaFadJagOajSaeUf`WjWYoRZsUarXdq_gpajpdmogpnjsmlu\ mYhcJXU5LKESTNZ`Weidlqmryfpk_nZTlLNj8CbH2WQ5SY7Pd9\ MlBJsDGzbCJZIIWNITTIPYHMcHJhHGmHzZIzLIs7Ic7DL78J73\ D9BGBJJCQMEYPGeSHlPIjNIhLIfIIdGIbEIaPLdZOghRjrUm7G\ bONZdUWu`TpXUlUVgRWcOXZLYVIZRFZSF_EncDpeCqgBriAtk9\ um9vozjDzhHzgKzfNzdRzcUzbXz`_zmczmfzmizmlzmpzmszmv\ zmyzmuzzqzzmzzizzfzzbzzZzzVzzRzzOzzKzzGzzCzz9zzCzz\ FzzHzzKzzMzzPzzRzzUzzWzzT } frm:DivideBrot5 { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=real(p1)-2, b=imag(p1)+0.00000000000000000001: z=sqr(z)/(z^(-a)+b)+c |z| < 1000000 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
