Fractal of the Day
by Jim Muth

|
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's FOTD is named "The New Thing". This name could possibly lead to questions such as: 'what is the *Old* Thing?', or 'where is the Old Thing?'. The answer is there never was an *old* thing. I gave today's image its name when I could think of nothing better. The image is another venture into the world of bof60 bubbles, this one created by number 5 in my series of MandNewt formulae. We'll be seeing more of this type of image in the future, since I feel that the string of images with midgets is growing a little too routine. Due to too little time to work on it and too much other stuff to do, today's image rates only a 4. But better things are to come. The parameter file renders in 5 minutes; the GIF image downloads in 1/4 of the time. The GIF file is available at: The fractal weather was typical of summer -- hazy, hot and humid. The temperature of 92F (33C) caused the fractal cats to slip into their lazy mode, though it would take a careful observer to notice the difference. I'll return in the allotted time. Until that time comes, take care, and be of good cheer. Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com |
