Fractal of the Day
by Jim Muth
|
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: It was another busy day here at the new Fractal Central, but progress is being made, and by the end of the month I expect things to be back to normal, with longer fractal descriptions and the return of fractal philosophy. But until then, the FOTD will continue in abbreviated form. Today's image pictures a midget surrounded by broad spiral bands filled with a texture that, when viewed from a distance, gives the impression of a true color fractal. The texture in the image is created by the many tiny patches caused by the negative exponents. I named the image "Outreach" for no particular reason, and rated it a 6 for the same reason. With a render time of 45 minutes, the parameter file is slow. A better way of viewing the image is to give Paul and Scott a chance to post the GIF file of the image to their web sites at: The fractal weather today was sunny but blustery and chilly, with a temperature of 50F (10C), which the fractal cats accepted as they passed the afternoon in the yard. I see that the time has come to shut down the shoppe and call it a night. Until tomorrow, take care. Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com |
