Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's discussion will be very short -- reason: I can no longer put off the trimming of the fractal grass, and there is significant other work to be done as well. This means that the image will have to speak for itself. But careful listening will be needed to hear the words. Like most of the FOTD images, today's image has a midget at its center. The scene is located in an 'East Valley' type valley in the fractal that results when some Z^(-5.1) is subtracted from Z^(-1.5) and (1/C) is added. I named the image "The Wine-Dark Sea". The phrase is not original, but I forget in which piece of literature it appears. The rating of a 5 seems appropriate for an image that I needed to hurry along. When the 7-minute render time is taken into consideration, the overall value rates a 70. The finished image is available on the FOTD web site at: The temperature reached 87F 30.5C here at Fractal Central on Sunday, which was actually a bit too warm for the fractal cats, who did little more than lie motionlessly in the shade of the holly trees all afternoon. When evening arrived, they came indoors without hesitation to enjoy their meal. Today is starting even warmer. I expect a similar day. For me, the work is moderate, and the trimming of that grass is imminent. Until next FOTD, take care, and be lucky. Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com jimmuth@aol.com |
