Fractal of the Day
by Jim Muth

|
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's formula mixes 0.3 parts of Z^(-11.4) and Z^(2.3). This formula produces a grossly oversized parent fractal that resembles a mixture of filaments and holes. Today's image is located in a kind of East Valley of the center-most hole. I named the image "Tic-Tac-Toe" because it reminds me of a midget sitting in the center square of a 3x3 grid. I rated it at a 5 because it really isn't all that great, most of the effect being produced by the coloring. The render time of 5-1/2 minutes is quite reasonable, but if 'quite' is not reasonable enough, the already-rendered GIF image may be viewed at once on the FOTD web site at: Heavy morning fog burned off by noon here at New Fractal Central, leading to a pleasant sunny afternoon with a temperature of 59F 15C. The fractal cats found that the sun coming through the window was warm enough to lie in for a while. Then they started playing. My day was pretty much normal and uneventful, which is the kind of day I can relax and enjoy. But fractals are everywhere, even on the most boring days. The next FOTD fractal will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and I hear it said that a pot of diamonds lies at the end of the next fractal. Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com jimmuth@aol.com |
