Fractal of the Day
by Jim Muth
|
|
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's fractal is one of my better ones -- at least in my opinion. With little time to describe the image, I will say only that the scene lies deep in a many-pointed star on a filament extending from a small bud on the shore of the curious fractal that results when a certain amount of 1/Z has twice as much Z subtracted from it. The image is better than average, but does it sizzle? Each viewer will have to answer that question for him/her self. I named the image "A Sizzling Sizzler" because while trying to think of a better name, I caught the aroma from a neighborhood cookout. I imagined the meat sizzling on the grill and I had my name. The rating of 8 might be a bit optimistic, but I need a few images that rate more than a ho-hum 6. The parameter file renders in 16 minutes, making a download of the GIF image the far more convenient way of viewing the scene. The download may be found at Paul's web site at: The fractal weather today was near perfect, with sunny skies and a temperature of 72F (22C). The cats approved vigorously. That's it for this time fractal fans. I'll return with the next FOTD within 24 hours for sure, and likely within 14 hours. Until then, take care, and ain't fractals fun?
