It's been a couple weeks since the last image appeared. ; But despite appearances I am still searching for fractals in ; between doing other things such as drawing by hand the ; other-worldly surreal landscapes I often try to capture in ; fractal images. ; ; Today's image is an odd-plane scene in Seahorse Valley of the ; Mandelbrot set. I chose it as today's FOTD because of the ; prominent spiral that changes direction as it crosses the ; valley. As is usually the case in these odd-plane images, some ; stretching and skewing was needed to bring the scene to ; recognizable proportions. ; ; The rather poetic name, "The Reluctant Fairy", has nothing to do ; with the image. It simply came to mind when I shut off my ; rational thinking, something FL claims I often do. ; ; The art rates a nominal 6 because of the not very exceptional ; coloring; the math rates a 7 because of the curious two-way ; spiral. The calculation time of 4-1/2 minutes might be a little ; more than the image is worth. ; ; The image may be viewed by running the parameter file or by ; checking the web sites at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; where it might be posted. The official web site is currently ; down. ; ; Miserable winter weather prevailed here at Fractal Central ; today, with a steady light rain, a temperature of 32F 0C and ; spotty icy spots making both walking and driving treacherous. ; The fractal cats, who neither walk outdoors nor drive anywhere, ; were unconcerned. The fractal humans passed the day indoors, ; avoiding the outside weather. ; ; I haven't the foggiest idea when the next FOTD (FOTM) might ; appear, but I have a good feeling it will eventually show up. ; Until whenever, take care, and spiritual bankruptcy goes far ; deeper than simply not believing in God. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= TheReluctantFairy { ; time=0:04:30.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=SliceJulibrotSqr passes=1 center-mag=0/0.521639/12.12754/0.4453/90/68.6631407 params=10/90/0/90/-0.7492/0/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=4800 inside=0 logmap=32 periodicity=6 colors=0003ia7eaB`aFXaJVgNUdRTaVSZZRWbQTfPQjONnNKr\ LHrMIoMImMJjMJhMJeMKcMK`MKZMLWMLUMLWNPYOT_PXaQ`bRd\ dShfTlhUpiUtjVqkWolXlmYjmYhnZeo_cp``p`ZqaXrZUsWStT\ asQWsSQvUDtWHsYKrXNqWQpUToTWnS_mQblQekQhjPknOmkMni\ LngJneIncHnaFn_EnYDnWBnUAnS9nQ7nO6nM5nN7mO9mPBlQDl\ REkSGkTIjUKjVMiXLkWMjWNiWOhVPgVQgVRfUSeUTdUUcS_fUU\ cWOaXJ_ZDX`7V`5Ua2Tb5Pc7MdAJeCGfFCgH9hK6iM3iO0ZP4P\ Q8FRC4ND5PF5RG5TI5VJ6XL6ZM6`O6bP7dR7fS7hU4pP6lS7iV\ 8eX9b_A_aBWdCTfEQiFMlGJnHGqICsJ9vK6xRFsXKoWKjVKeUK\ fUKfUKfTIgUGgQEhMDgMFgOGgPIgRJgSLgUNgVOgXQgYRg_Tga\ PqaSl`UgWXbQZYKaTFcO9fJ4hFEgGOgHXgIffJdfKafK_gLYhL\ XiMWjMPkNIkNJiRKhULgYMf`NecOdgPcjQbmRaqS`tU`vS_wQZ\ wOYwMYwKXwIWwGWxEVxCUxAUx8Tx6Sx5Sx7Qv9OuBNsCLrEKpG\ IoHHmJFlLDkMCiOAhQ9fR7eT6cV4b71kK2fW3am4Wj3Xg3Yd2Z\ a2_Z2`SBY5LMMJWaHdpBoqFmqIkrLirOgsResUdsYbt``tcZug\ XskVsocssmwwzwwzwwzzwzzwz } frm:SliceJulibrotSqr {; draws all slices of Julibrot pix=pixel, u=real(pix), v=imag(pix), a=pi*real(p1*0.0055555555555556), b=pi*imag(p1*0.0055555555555556), g=pi*real(p2*0.0055555555555556), d=pi*imag(p2*0.0055555555555556), ca=cos(a), cb=cos(b), sb=sin(b), cg=cos(g), sg=sin(g), cd=cos(d), sd=sin(d), p=u*cg*cd-v*(ca*sb*sg*cd+ca*cb*sd), q=u*cg*sd+v*(ca*cb*cd-ca*sb*sg*sd), r=u*sg+v*ca*sb*cg, s=v*sin(a), esc=imag(p5)+9 c=p+flip(q)+p3, z=r+flip(s)+p4: z=z*z+c |z|< esc } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; https://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
