Fractal of the Day
by Jim Muth

|
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a sideways view of the valley leading to the period-6 bud on the northeast shoreline of the Mandelbrot set. The orientation of the slice is rotated 75 degrees from the Oblate direction toward the Rectangular direction. A different formula, the multirot-XZ-YW-new formula, was needed to actually calculate a slice of the Julibrot in this particular direction. I gave the image the un-exceptional name "Transfer". The name was inspired by a feeling of energy flowing from top to bottom of the frame, which I felt when I first saw the image. The rather disappointing rating of a 4 was all I could do for the picture. I really did not give the colors the effort they need for a higher rating. Most likely, I lost interest when I saw no great potential in the image. The render time of 1/2 hour on my 8-year-old machine is decidedly slow for such a mediocre fractal. But the download from the FOTD web site at: The threatening snow failed to arrive on Saturday. Instead, we saw sunny skies and a high temperature of 41F 5C. The cats enjoyed over two hours lurking in the holly patch, and needed no special treat to keep them happy. Today looks to be a repeat. For me it looks like an average day -- that is unless I find a truly spectacular fractal, which would make the day special. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and the next fractal will (hopefully) be better. Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com jimmuth@aol.com |
