This parent ; resembles nothing more than a squashed bug with its head facing ; southwest, but not wanting to turn off potential viewers, I ; named today's FOTD "Countdown to Earth", which has little if ; anything to do with the appearance of the image. ; ; The scene is located in a valley leading to a small bud on the ; southwest side of the bug's head. ; ; The math and art aspects both rate a 6. I could find nothing ; really new in the image. ; ; The calculation time of 3-1/4 minutes is rather slow. The web ; sites can speed up the viewing pleasure however. ; ; Check the finished image at the web sites without the ; inconvenience of calculating it. The web sites may be accessed ; at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; A pleasant mix of sun amd clouds with an equally pleasant ; temperature of 77F 25C made today here at Fractal Central fit ; for a king. With no king in the vicinity, the day was enjoyed ; by the fractal cats and humans (cats always coming first, of ; course). ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in the appropriate time. Until ; then, take care, and live with honor but don't get preachy. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Countdown_to_Earth { ; time=0:12:03.87 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=ident passes=1 center-mag=-0.952052728739694/-0.7263908032093859/\ 1319932/1/65/0 params=1.75/0/7/0 float=y maxiter=3600 inside=0 logmap=279 periodicity=6 colors=000C8ZD9ZEAZFBZGCZHDZIEZJFYKGYMIYOKYQMYSOYU\ QYWSYYUZ_W_aY`c_adabeccfegggmhirjkvlmznozpqzrszwuz\ wwzwtzwzzwzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzVRYTQXROWQNVOM\ UMKTKJSJISKLVKNXKPZKRaKTcKVeKXgLWfMWeNWdOVdPVcQVbR\ UaSUaTU`UT_UT_VTZWSYXSXYSXZRW_RV`RUaQUbQTcQScQSdNT\ dLTeJUeHUfFUfCVgAVg8Wh6Wh4We5Ub5T_6RY6QV7OS7NP7LN6\ KK5IH5HE4FC4E93C63B33914838B4BD6EF7IH9LJAOLBRNDUPE\ WRGYTH_VIbXKeZLh`NkbOndPqfRthSwjUzlVznWzpSvhPraLmV\ IhOEhIBiDAkCAmCAoC9qC9sB9uB8wB8yB8zBBwAEtAHr9Jo9Ml\ 8Pj8Rg7Ue7Xb7Z_6ac6dh5fm5im4lm4nm4om4om4pm4qm5rm5s\ m6tm6zm7wb7ZX8S_8Jb9Fe9Ah9CfBFeCHdDKcENaFP`GS_HUZI\ XXJ_WKaVLdUMgSNiROlQPnPQiNPeLP`KPXIPTGPOFPKDPGCPHE\ OHGOHHNHJNIKNIMMINMIPMJRLJSLJUKJVKKXKKYJK_JK`J78HA\ IMCRRE_WGh`IqeKzjNzhPzfRzdUzcWzaYz_`zZbzXdzVfzUbzU\ ZzUWzUSzUPzUxznszlozkkzjgzhczg_zfWzdSzcOzbKz`_zoaz\ oczneznfzmhzmjzllzlnzkpzk } frm:MandelbrotBC3 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100 p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*fn1(p/(2*PI)) r=real(p2)+PI-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
