Fractal of the Day

Classic FOTD -- July 26, 2001   (Rating 5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Due to a rush, today's discussion will be short.

Today's fragmented scene has a nearly-lost midget at the center.   The unusual effect is caused by coloring the outside area with <fmod> rather than the usual <iter>.

The formula behind the image is (Z^2)+(0.2(Z^3))+C.   The parent fractal is a figure with a string of bays, with many new valleys to explore between the bays.   Today's scene lies in one of the new valleys.   Noticing the skeletal effect of the picture, I named it "A Skeletized Scene".   Due to the haste in which the image was produced, I could rate it no higher than a 5.

The parameter file renders in 29 minutes on a Pentium 200mhz machine.   The download of the GIF image from:
http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html
or from:
http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/
is far faster.   But give Paul and Scott a chance to render and post the image before visiting their sites.

The fractal weather today was sunny and quite hot and humid today, with a temperature of 97F 36C.   The fractal cats ignored the heat and slept most of the day.

But I've got a bit of work to accomplish, so until next time, take care, and patience is rewarded, but too much patience gets nothing done.
