The parent fractal is ; a large boomerang-shaped bay with X-axis symmetry, surrounded by ; countless smaller holes. Today's scene lies near a hole just ; inland of the southwest shore line of the large bay. ; ; Not surprisingly, the holes radiating from the central minibrot ; in today's image are shaped almost exactly like the nearby ; larger hole. Most of the effect was achieved by rendering the ; scene with the outside set to 'tdis', which creates the terraced ; effect. ; ; The name came about when I had the impression of an octopus with ; double the number of arms, which could only be called a ; "Hexadecapus". ; ; The art rating of 7.5 reflects the coloring effort I put into ; the image, with less than ideal results. The math rating of a 5 ; shows that nothing new and unexpected is revealed in today's ; FOTD. ; ; The calculation time of only 35 seconds is quite fast. Viewing ; the finished image on the web sites is equally fast. ; ; Make life easier by viewing the finished image plus all the ; unexpected variations on the web sites at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; More clouds than sun prevailed here at Fractal Central today. ; With little wind, the temperature of 50F 10C felt comfortable ; enough, though the older fractal cat, Nicholas, would have ; preferred more sun on the shelf in the southwest window. The ; fractal humans made it through the day with little happening ; that was worth remembering. ; ; The next FOTD will grace the list in about 24 hours. Until ; then, take care, and environmentalists want to fight global ; warming and at the same time eliminate dangerous nuclear power ; plants. These are worthy goals, but despite the optimistic ; claims of the dreamers, clean renewable energy can supply only ; a tiny part of our energy demand. ; ; This means that to achieve a cleaner safer environment, people ; will need to survive with much less energy. I doubt that many ; would be willing or able to make the necessary sacrifices, such ; as getting rid of their motor vehicles, living without air- ; conditioning in warm humid climates, (Swamp coolers would work ; well enough most of the time in hot dry climates.), and ; eliminating the energy guzzling internet and mobile phone ; networks. ; ; And, being people who care, we would also want to help the ; emerging nations raise their standards of living, which means we ; would need to supply them with the necessary energy. The ; question is, with fossil and nuclear energy no longer available, ; and our own energy demand continuing to increase, where would ; the additional energy to help the underpriviliged but emerging ; nations come from? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Hexadecapus { ; time=0:00:35.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident float=y center-mag=-0.067099643139/-0.673907626184/2670399\ /1/92.5/0 params=1/3/0.5/6/0/0/0/0 maxiter=1000 inside=0 outside=tdis periodicity=6 colors=000jzJgsSdk`acicYr_XqXWqTVpQUpNToJSoGRnBmTC\ acDRnEQf00D0CT500B0ORSl6gzeQzhnnQUjzcfzrbb_Z_cbYcf\ zmjTRnRPrSVnT_jTefUobVoZVoVWzRWzNizLvzJpzQjzXdzcZz\ jzz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzBzzCzzDzz\ EzzFzzGzzHzzIzzVzzqzzgzzYzzQzzOzzNzzMzzLzz2zzBzzKz\ zTzzazzjzzyzzufFrjLonRsvWlrWfnW_jWUfWA`ZHbXOcWVeVa\ fUhhToiSuhCujRomUipWcsZ2zlkziZv`MjT2J1AZLQSLeLLuEL\ pKLkQLgVLb`LcROZeLbzJYxIUsIQmIIq4MhIQ_W`KvUSiOZYHf\ LBm9lYMgXKbWIYVGTUEOTCJSACL6FS9HZCJeEMkHOrJQyMSzOT\ zV_zqUwaQzSPuPOlM3x7DnDNdJXVP6`PfLUZSXSZ_LeaEld5uh\ 7sf9rdAqcCpaEn_FmZHlXAMuEZhIkWQiQYhKegEmf8v`3te2si\ 2rm1qq1pt3ow4oz6nz7mz9mzA } 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 ;
