(One outzoom will reveal the ; entire bullet.) I named the image "A Strange Scene", since it ; certainly is rather strange, but then, all fractals are strange ; in some ways. I could rate the themeless artistic aspect of ; today's image no higher than a 6, and the math, which has been ; used countless times before, rates only a mediocre 5. ; ; The calculation time is an unusually slow 13 minutes, which ; definitely will lead to boredom and perhaps the mortal sin of ; rendering the image at thumbnail size to see if it is worth the ; effort of calculating at full size. Luckily, the web sites are ; there to eliminate such difficult decisions. ; ; So eliminate tough decisions View the finished image on the ; FOTD web sites at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; A cloudy day with occasional showers and a temperature of 79F ; 26C passed quietly here at Fractal Central today. The fractal ; humans spent the day peacefully, while the three fractal cats ; had a relatively peaceful day also. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted -- this much is for sure -- but ; who knows exactly when that magic moment will arrive. Until ; whenever, take care, and it appears to me that our western ; scientific paradigm has assumed the rigidity of a religious ; dogma, with its structure being held in place by the power of ; polarized language such as real/imaginary, exists/does not ; exist, objective/subjective, true/untrue, and so on. Oh well, ; as long as we are protected from the threat of belief in ; irrational superstition, I guess it doesn't matter. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= A_Strange_Scene { ; time=0:13:00.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=BranchCutGenHJ passes=t maxiter=10800 center-mag=-0.512692/1.39427/5.844799/1/-162.5/0 params=1.17/0/0/17 float=y inside=0 periodicity=6 colors=00000e0e00eee00e0eeL0eeeLLLLLzLzLLzzzLLzLzz\ zLzzz777666888BBBEEEHHHKKKOOOSSSWWW___ccchhhmmmsss\ zzz00zG0zV0zj0zz0zz0jz0Vz0Gz00zG0zV0zj0zz0jz0Vz0Gz\ 00z00zG0zV0zj0zz0jz0Vz0GzVVzbVzjVzrVzzVzzVrzVjzVbz\ VzzbzzjzzrzzzzrzzjzzbzzVzzVzzVzzVzzVzzVrzVjzVbzhhz\ lhzqhzuhzzhzzhzzhzzhzzhzzlzzqzzuzzzzuzzqzzlzzhzzhz\ zhzzhzzhzzhuzhqzhlzakzAnzEmzImzMlzQlzUkzYkzbjzakza\ kzakz`kz`kz`kz_kz_kz_kzZkzZlzZlzYlzYlzYlzXlzXlzXlz\ WlzWlzWlzVmzVmzVmzUmzUmzUmzTmzTmzTmzSmzSmzSnzRnzRn\ zRnzQnzQnzQnzPnzPnzPnzOnzOozOozNozNozNozMozMozMozL\ ozLozLozKpzKpzKpzJpzJpzJpzIpzIpzIpzHpiHpjHqjGqkGqk\ GqlFqmFqmFqnEqoEqoEqpCruDqtDqsDqrDqrEqqEqpEqpEpoEp\ nFpmFpmFplFpkFpkGpjGoiGohGohGogHofHofHoeHodHncIncI\ nbInaInaIn`Jn_JmZJmZJmYJmXKmXKmWKmVKmVKlULlTLlSLlS\ LlRLlQMlQMlPMkOMkNMkNNkMNkLNkLNkKNjJOjIOjIOjHOjGOj\ GPjFPjEPiDPiDPiCQiBQiBQiA } frm:BranchCutGenHJ { ; Jim Muth, thanks to Hal Lane Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z), Z=exp(p1*(Z+(p2)))+C, |Z|<100 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; https://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
