Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is pure insanity. Never have I seen such a motley collection of fractal possibilities with so little organization. There are diamonds, spirals, shapeless fragments, and almost anything one could imagine scattered through the image. The name "Iterative Insanity" seems quite appropriate for such chaos. The parent fractal is the same Z^1.26+C Mandeloid of the past two FOTD's. To find today's image I went to the north branch of the most prominent valley of the parent, and dove down to a magnitude of a modest 1800. The 47-minute render time is a result of the unusually high iteration count of the elements of the image. Unable to decide whether I liked the image, I rated it at an average 5, which gives an overall value of 11 when adjusted for the render time. The most convenient way to see the scene is to download the finished GIF image from the FOTD web site at: Near perfect weather both Thursday and Friday made for contented cats. With a repeat forecast for today, I expect more contentment. I also expect to be working most of the day. So until next FOTD, take care, and when you have taken enough care, stop to have a little fun. Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com jimmuth@aol.com |
