Fractal of the Day
by Jim Muth
|
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: With today's image we move into the area of total Mandelbrot chaos. Well, the chaos is not quite total, for the vestiges of a pattern are still visible. But the pattern is so vague that the image can fairly be called totally chaotic. There actually are midgets even closer to the Mandel-bay shoreline, which have nothing but a flat, featureless area around them. I call these midgets "beach midgets" because they appear to be surrounded by grainy sand. I did not picture a beach midget, since they are stupendously boring, but they are there to see for anyone who cares to look. I named today's image "Totally Chaotic", though "Almost Totally Chaotic" might be a more appropriate name. I rated it at a 4. The 1/2-hour render time is a bit much, and may not be worth the effort. The more convenient way to see the image is to download it from: The fractal weather Wednesday was cloudy, cold and blustery here at Fractal Central. The high temperature of 47F 8C chilled the cats' ears to such a degree that they stayed outdoors only a few minutes, spending the rest of the day on their window shelf, watching the world pass by. I now must get busy on more pressing things, such as the FOTD-CD. The next ongoing FOTD will appear on March 31. By the time the next FOTD appears, a photograph of myself in my full glory should be available on the two FOTD web sites. Until then, take care, and patience is ultimately rewarded.
