Fractal of the Day
by Jim Muth
|
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I have little to say about today's unassuming image. It's a somber picture, with the overall gloom somewhat offset by the brilliant midget at the center. The rings of perfectly-shaped holes surrounding the midget inspired the name "Cut-outs". After studying the image for several minutes, I decided that it rated no more than a 4. The parameter file's fast render time of 3 minutes makes up for the slightly below average rating of the image. If this is still too slow, the GIF file may be found pre-rendered and ready for download at: The fractal weather today was cloudy and cold, with a temperature of 36F (2C) that was far too chilly for the disappointed fractal cats. Since it will be even colder for the rest of the week, the cats will have to stay disappointed. As for myself, I'm shutting down the fractal shoppe and calling it a night. Until next time, take care, and who put those holes in my fractal? Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com |
