But this is no ordinary ; Mandelbrot set. Instead of lying at the center of an unbroken ; expanse of 'outside' stuff, this parent M-set is surrounded by a ; series of open rings of trapped 'inside' stuff, and the edges of ; these rings are filled with all kinds of unexpected semi-chaotic ; detail. Today's scene lies well to the north of the parent ; M-set, in the detail along the inner edge of the final ring. ; ; The skeletal effect was achieved by setting the first ten color ; registers to a solid black. Rotating the color palette will ; produce an entirely different image. ; ; Thanks to the skeletal appearance of the image and the unusual ; open rings in the parent fractal, both the art and math aspects ; of today's FOTD are worth an 8. ; ; The infinitesimal calculation time of only 25 seconds is no ; exaggeration. On most machines, the image will finish in even ; less time. Visiting the web sites will probably save no time, ; but it will eliminate the inconvenience of setting up and ; calculating the included parameter file. ; ; The finished image is available on the official FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; It is also posted at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; Today brought wind-blown clouds with a few breaks of sun to ; Fractal Central. The temperature of 45F +7C was mild enough, ; though the wind kept things feeling chilly. The fractal cats ; soon grew annoyed with the on and off sun and decided to occupy ; themselves chasing each other along the hallway until they grew ; tired enough to go to sleep. The humans passed the day by ; simply being human. ; ; The next FOTD might be posted in 24 hours, or it might be ; delayed a day or so. Until whenever, take care, and is ; intelligence really the most advanced attribute any conscious ; being could possess? Reason says it might not be. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Hairpin_Curves { ; time=0:00:25.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=FinDivBrot-2 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-0.1046724064003285/+3.170796553315872\ /2.8611e+010/1/-9/0 params=-99/1e+050/0/0 float=y maxiter=290 inside=0 logmap=34 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000000000000000000000000000000Uz00pzwVzn0Up\ B_z1Tv6WrAYmF_hJacOd_SfYWhV`jSdlPioMmqJrsGvuEzwIvs\ MspQplUliYieafbZe`Xd_VcYScXQbVOaUMaT8cgBceEccHcaKc\ _NcYQcWTcUWcSZcQacOdcMgcKjcImcGpcEscCvcAyc8wc7uc6t\ c6rc5qc4oc4nc3lc2je1kf2kf2kg3lg3lh4lh4li4mi5mi5mj6\ mj6nk7nk7nl7nl8om8om9om9on9pnApoApoBppBqpCqqCqqCqq\ DrrDrrErsErsEstFstFsuGsuGtuHtvHtvHtwIuwIuxJuxJuxJr\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz } frm:FinDivBrot-2 { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2), esc=(real(p2)+16), b=imag(p1): z=(b)*(z*z*fn1(z^(a)+b))+c |z| < esc } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
