This 'fmod' option all too often ; results in little more than a flat blank screen, but when it ; does work, as it does in today's image, the results can be well ; worth the effort. ; ; Today's generating expression combines Z^(2.05) with straight Z ; before adding straight C on each iteration. The resulting ; parent fractal resembles two partially merged Mandelbrot sets. ; Today's scene lies in the outer debris on the west shoreline of ; the main bay. ; ; The name "Bright Shadows" has nothing to do with an old TV soap ; opera. It refers to the brilliant patches spotted throughout ; the frame. ; ; With a rating of a 7, the image's artistic worth exceeds its ; math worth, which scores a rating of only a 6. ; ; The calculation time of 1-1/3 minutes will worry no one, ; especially those who choose to view the image on one of the web ; sites. ; ; The finished image is posted online at: ; ; ; ; with an enhanced rendering at: ; ; ; ; Thousands of past images may be checked and admired at: ; ; ; ; Today began cloudy here at Fractal Central and went downhill ; when the rain from T.S. Andrea arrived at noon. The chilly ; temperature of 66F 19C failed to bring cheer. The fractal cat ; gave up early and spent most of the day in my favorite chair; ; the fractal humans, who never give up, strongly disapproved of ; the weather conditions. ; ; I doubt that there will be time to produce a FOTD fractal ; tomorrow, so the next FOTD will be posted in two days. Until ; then, take care, and avoid becoming attached to any particular ; fractal. They have a way of vanishing without warning into the ; ether. (BTW, what is this 'ether' that things vanish into?) ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Bright_Shadows { ; time=0:01:20.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident float=y center-mag=-1.574988358385002/+0.01397662935983304\ /4.689995e+011/1/80/0 params=1/2.05/1/1/0/0/0/0 maxiter=1750 inside=0 proximity=0.25 outside=fmod logmap=yes periodicity=10 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000260560A62E62H62K62P63T63W63`65c65g65j65o\ 67s67v77v78v98v98v6Av98vA8vC7sE7lG5eH5`J5UL3NO3HP2\ CR25T20U00W00Y00Z00`00Z50YA0WH0UL0TR0RX0Pa0Oh0Mm0M\ r0Om0Pj2PeARaJTXPTUCLf0Ct06t06t09t0Ct0Gt0Jt4Mt7PtA\ TtEWtHZtKbtNetRitUltYot`stcvtgytjztmztpzttztvztvzt\ vztvztvztvztvztvztvytvvtvstvotvltvitvjtvjtvjtmltel\ tYltPntHnt9nt9ntAotAotAotCqtCqtEqtEqtFstFstHstHttJ\ ttJttKyqJtkHqkFnkFjkEghCbeCZaAWZ9TW5OU9PSCPSERRHRR\ KRRMTPPTPTUPUUNYUN`WNbWLeYLhYLjbKmgKsoKvwcvzmvzzvz\ zvzmvzcvzCvz8mw5eo2Yg0PZ0HR09J04E00A34CA9GHEHNJLUN\ O`TPfYTmbUteYtiYtfWtcRtZMkUGcPBWK6PF6DC48A33903A33\ C42C67G67J67M68P68T6AW6AZ6Ab6Ce6Ch6Dl6Do6Ds6Fv6Fv6\ Hv6Hv6Hj7LPLP5YS9ZUAZUCZWE`WF`XH`XJ`XP`cWZhbZmhYto\ YtvWtvWtvbtvgrtnksscoyWmzPjzHhz8gz2`zAWzIRzPMzXHzc\ Czk7yrJOLT60Y60bP0gi0lz3pz7oerjbme`h`YeWW`RTWNRSJM\ NFHKCEH99D468065062060060 } 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 ;
