Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Due to an unplanned busy night, today's discussion is not only late, it is very short and to the point. I named the fractal "Happy New Fractals" because it is the first in a year-long series of hopefully superior images. The generating formula combines portions of Z^(-5.1) and Z^(-1.5), and adds (1/C). The resulting fractal consists of the usual indescribable Mandeloid, with a separate area of chaos lying just southwest of the main fractal unit. Today's scene lies in this separate area of chaos. Most of the effect was achieved by rendering the image with the outside set to 'tdis' and the inside set to 'fmod'. The rating of an above-average 7 makes the 3-minute render time worth the effort. The image can also be seen by downloading it from: The last day of the year passed uneventfully here at Fractal Central. With lots of sun and a temperature of 54F 12C, the day was pleasant enough for the cats to enjoy almost two hours in the wild outdoors of the yard. When midnight came and people began setting off fireworks, the cats took shelter in their closet in the spare room, where they were still sleeping when the night ended. Today is the first day of another year, and it is starting the same as yesterday. I expect the cats will be acceptably happy. I will be unable to comment on my happiness until 8784 hours have passed. So check back then to see how the year goes. Luckily, the next FOTD will appear far before then. It will appear in 18 hours in fact. Until then, take care and happy recovery.
