Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: There is no mistake. Today's image renders in 23 seconds. The scene is located in a spiral in the star of the order-13 radical on the south shore of East Valley of the Mandelbrot set. I named the image "Not So Deep" because it is not quite deep enough to require arbitrary precision math. I could just as easily have named it "String of Pearls" in recognition of the sinuous line of white pearl-like features surrounding the midget. I think the overall value of today's image, which is 1550, sets a new record. But most of this is due to the very short render time. The rating of a 6, which indicates an image just a little above average, is far more indicative of its worth. Because of its speed, I am currently concentrating on the M-set as a source of my FOTD images. When, if ever, I finally get the work caught up, I will return to the more exotic formulas (formulae for the over-educated) and the FOTD will return to its regular every-day schedule. Though today's image renders in less time than it takes a computer to boot up, it is available for instant download on Paul's FOTD web site at: The Friday and Saturday weather was uneventful here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats made the most of things by enjoying two long afternoons in the shade of the holly trees. But this morning it is raining, so the two good days will not be repeated a third time. For me, the work is still backed up, but it is not as far behind as it was a week ago. The end of the overtime might be in sight. The next FOTD will appear in a day or two. Until then, take care, and if you have the answer, look for the question. Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com jimmuth@aol.com |
