Fractal of the Day
by Jim Muth

|
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: A descriptive name for today's fractal eluded me, so I settled on the generic title "Fractalesque". The name has a rather festive sound to it, which goes along with the festive appearance of the image. And it's better than no name at all. Due to the unusual blue and orange elements surrounding the brilliantly decorated central midget, I raised my rating from 6 to 7. The formula behind the image is Z^1.5+0.1Z^(-15)+(1/C), another of the totally whimsical expressions I conjure up while using the MandelbrotMix4 formula. The parameter file renders in 9-1/2 minutes, a time long enough to make a download of the GIF image file the better choice. And speaking of a download, the file may be found on Usenet at: The fractal weather today here at Fractal Central was sunny but quite cold. The temperature of 30F (-1C) was far too chilly for the fractal cats, who slept curled by the radiators most all day. I've still got more fractal image inspiration than literary inspiration, so there will be no philosophy for today. For tomorrow? -- only time will tell. And I see that the time has arrived to shut down the fractal shoppe and call it a night. Until next time, take care, and wish for the best. Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com |
