Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Since the FOTD is already late, and it is a slow one, I'll make the discussion short. To begin, in keeping with the theme of a midgetless July, the image has no midget. The iterated formula that drew the image is Z^1.03+C. I named the picture "Platform in Space" because that's what it reminds me of. I rated it at a 7 because I feel it's above average. It's an unusually slow image to render, taking over 2 hours of computer time on a tired old Pentium 200mhz machine. Therefore the best way to view it is to give Paul and Scott a chance to render it and then visit their Web sites at: The fractal weather on the Independence Day holiday featured fireworks from nature. A series of heavy thunder-showers in the evening put a damper on the man-made variety. The temperature of 86F (30C) did little to ease the fractal cats' skittishness. And it's now time for an active day doing other things. Until next time, take care, and hope for the best. Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com |
