Fractal of the Day
by Jim Muth

|
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The parent fractal of today's scene resembles a Mandelbrot set rotated 180 degrees. This M-set is fairly normal looking except that it has a large extra bay where East Valley should be, and it has a main stem that has split into two. Today's scene is located in one of the valleys that sets off the extra bay. The generating formula subtracts 0.8 part of Z^(2.5) from 1.2 parts of Z^(1.5) and adds straight C. The name I gave the image, "All or Nothing", has little if anything to do with the actual appearance of the image itself. It is what came to mind when I emptied my head of all spurious thoughts and entered the great void, which is my usual mental state anyway. Wanting to rate the image but undecided on what rating to give, I settled on a perfectly average rating of a 5. The calculation time of about 4-1/2 minutes is right in the ball park for such an image. And as always, the finished image is available for free viewing on the FOTD web site at: The big holiday started with clouds and ended with a cold rain here at Fractal Central. I also noticed a few wet snowflakes mixed in, but they amounted to nothing. Meanwhile, the fractal cats busied themselves scattering bows and ribbons, and tearing up the wrapping paper from the opened presents. There was no normal work today, and all else was well. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and eat hearty but not too hearty. Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com jimmuth@aol.com |
