Fractal of the Day
by Jim Muth

|
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today was once again hectic, as every day will be here at Fractal Central for several more weeks. But despite the rush, I still found time to create a fractal worth a rating of 5. I named the image "Mandeloid Shellout" when I was reminded of a group of conch shells lying on some forgotten beach. The formula Z^(0.01)+10Z^2+(1/C) created the parent fractal of today's scene. The picture actually should not be referred to as a 'classic' FOTD, since the outside colors were created by the 'tdis' coloring method instead of the normal flat equal-iteration bands. The attached parameter file renders in 12-1/2 minutes on a Pentium 200mhz. This is slow enough to make a trip to one of the following web sites worth the effort. Those web sites are Paul's at: The fractal weather today was partly cloudy, with an ideal temperature of 54F (12C). The temperature was ideal, but unfortunately, I spent almost the entire afternoon at the hardware superstore purchasing supplies for the new Fractal Central. As a result, the cats did not get to go out, and I was met by a pair of sulky cats when I returned around nightfall. And now, the day is at an end; the fractal shoppe is ready to be shut down; the cats have been well fed, and I'm finished for the day. There's nothing left to do but put on a junky old sci-fi or horror movie, and doze off while trying to watch it. Until next time, take care, and life is better with fractals.
