Fractal of the Day
by Jim Muth
|
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: With an end-of-week rush of work to accomplish, and a FOTD-CD to start organizing, I will have to make today's discussion a short one. While searching for a name for today's FOTD, I noticed the olive-like color of certain elements, and the overall oily texture. The name "Olive Oil" came easily. The scene of today's image is located in an elephant trunk in the East Valley area of its parent, a fractal that was created on a whim, and is worth checking. After first deciding on a rating of 6, I noticed the rather unusual sculpted textures throughout the image, and finally rated it at a 7. The parameter file renders in 39 minutes, which is annoying; the GIF image downloads in one minute, which is a pleasure. The image will be available on the web in an hour or so at: With tons of sun and a temperature of 81F 27C, the fractal weather today was perfect. The cats must have agreed, for I heard no complaints from them as they passed the day alternating between the porch and yard. (Yes, the cats' photographs will be on the FOTD-CD.) I've now got to get busy. Until tomorrow, take care, and be at one with yourself. Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com |
