I eventually settled on a tiny minibrot ; -- the one that appears at the center of today's image. ; ; I colored the scene to give the appearance of a series of ridges ; surrounding the minibrot, but unfortunately, the coloring is not ; enough to raise the art rating above a merely adequate 7. Since ; we have been on the same math theme for a couple weeks, the math ; rating is only a 6. ; ; The name "First Light From Vega" has no relation to the image. ; It is the name of a long forgotten drawing I did many years ago. ; I have no idea why the name popped into my head today, but it ; sounds kind of arty, so this will be the name of today's fractal. ; ; The calculation time of 4-1/4 minutes borders on being ; unacceptably slow, but is still within reason for those with ; fast machines that can do DOS. Visiting the web sites will make ; the task of viewing the image simpler and faster however. ; ; The finished image is posted on the FOTD web sites at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; A cloudy morning gave way to a mostly sunny afternoon here at ; Fractal Central today, with a seasonal temperature of 61F 16C. ; The fractal cat, Nicholas, was more interested in the new ; arrival, an all-black little girl named Jasmine, than in the ; outside conditions. He considers the 7-week-old an unwanted ; newcomer, and lets her know who is boss with occasional ; apparently harmless hisses and growls. The newcomer is still ; frightened of the oversized resident fractal cat with the foul ; mouth, but when the big guy is out of sight, she is quite eager ; to explore her new surroundings. It will take some time for ; them to grow accustomed to each other's behavior. ; ; Other than keeping an eye on the fractal cat situation, the ; fractal humans had an uneventful day. We're taking a trip back ; to Old Fractal Central tomorrow, so the next FOTD will not be ; posted until at least October 20. Until the next FOTD time ; actually arrives, whenever that might be, take care, and most ; people agree that something is wrong with the direction in which ; our culture is taking the world. Now let's try to agree on ; exactly what is wrong with us and our culture, and what if ; anything might be done about it. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= FirstLightFromVega { ; time=0:04:15.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix3a function=ident passes=1 center-mag=+0.4566637948436287/+2.124420312062973/\ 8.337e+011/1/72.5/0 params=0.5/1/0.5/-1/0.5/2/0.25\ /3/-1.176222776541/0 float=y maxiter=1750 inside=0 logmap=189 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000G00F00E00D00C00B10A209308407506505504503\ 50250150050msIhrCcq6ZpKUoMQlJMgGKbDJZBHU8FP5DK2CF0\ BA0A00900800700600zzzzz0qw0kt0iqEbmBWf8Pc5Ib`UbbR_\ XOWRMRMJNGHJBEF5CB4A73842601400200000rTOkRKePH_NDU\ KAOF6IC3835A54A73A83DA2GC1FD1DF0mj6ge5ba4XX3ST2MO1\ HK0w9eoBZgCS_DLSEEKF7BgdCcZC_TCWNCSHCOBCK5A_XBXSBV\ OBSKBQGCNCCL8CI4B9yoG1aG0PG0TJVQIPNIKKHFHHAEG5DegC\ `_CXTCTMCOECK7mOEhNCcMAZL8VK7QJ5LI3GH1FaZEYTEUNDRH\ DNBCJ5_hQSZHKP8_hhWcaT_WPWPMSJIOCFK6bdxWYhPSUIMFtf\ uYTTvsGnlDfeAPoCSlHViMYfQRacLXqKZnJ_lI`iHagcUpzMxw\ WqudjsmcpgZnbVkYRiTMfOIdJEbEAgKFkQJpWNt`R2gn3ei4dd\ 5c_6bV7aQ8`L9_G9ZBBhPchachnchpchrmptmmvmbTmabmRJmc\ lmSOmszmlomeem_VmTLmMAmiHmdEm_BmV8mQ5mL2mU7mP4mK2m\ lFmgDmcBm_9zW7zS5zOczKczOczMczKzzJzzHzzDzzEzzFzzGz\ zVzzSzzQzzNzzLzzIzzYzzPzz9zzAzzBzzCzzDzzEzzFzz1zz4\ zz6zz8zzAzzCzzEzzDzzFzz5z } frm:MandelbrotMix3a {; Jim Muth z=real(p5), c=fn1(pixel), a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=real(p3), h=imag(p3), j=real(p4), k=imag(p4), l=imag(p5)+100: z=(a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f))+(g*(z^h))+(j*(z^k))+c, |z| <=l } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
