Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: OK, so I made a mistake. I posted the wrong version of yesterday's fractal. To atone for my misdeed I offer humble apologies, and vow never to do it again. The difference is a mere three-step increase in the overall green level, but without the increase, the silvery effect just isn't there. Today's fractal is a fractured, disjointed affair. The unusual effect of bits and pieces of disconnected fractal stuff arranged into filaments and circles is created entirely by the coloring. The expression -6Z^(-2)-Z^(-8)+(1/C) was iterated by the MandelbrotMix4 formula to create the image, which renders in a speedy 1-minute, 10-seconds from the attached parameter file. I named the picture, (if that's what it is), "Fractured Fractal". (This might be the second time I've used this name.) I then rated it a 6. The GIF image file downloads in about the same time from: The fractal weather today was mostly sunny but chilly, with a temperature of 39F (+4C) that was just a bit too cold for the dynamic duo of lazy cats. They spent the day inside, studying the half-decorated Christmas tree. I'm about out of steam, so I'll call it a night and shut things down. Until tomorrow, take care, and when you discover the secret of the universe, let me in on it. Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com |
