Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image was calculated with the passes set to 't'. I rarely use this option because, with the current version of Fractint, it recalculates the entire image when I want only to center the central midget a little better. The earlier versions of the program simply add and subtract a bit of image around the edges without recalculating the entire image. And speaking of the image, what a strange looking critter it is. I have named it "Stinging Nettle" for some reason I have long since forgotten. The rating of a 6 is good enough for a scene with no obvious midget at the center. The parent fractal was created by adding 11 parts of Z^(11) to Z^(1.1) and then adding C to create a Mandeloid with a most unusual east end, (which in today's case is on the west side). Today's scene is located in a converging arm covering a ghost bud in this strange but interesting east end. As I stated above, there is no obvious midget at the center of today's image. But this does not mean there are no midgets in the scene. There are, in fact, the usual infinity of midgets lurking unseen within the fractal creature with the stinging tentacles. And to prove my point, I will present one of them as the FOTD for tomorrow. The image calculates in only 3 minutes, fast enough for the busiest fractal fans. For extra convenience, the finished image is posted for quick viewing on the FOTD web site at: An absolutely gorgeous day here at Fractal Central on Wednesday was ignored by the fractal cats, who appear destined to spend their entire lives safely indoors. But the bright sunshine and temperature of 50F 10C made the humans in the area quite happy. Being human, I appreciated the fine weather, but I was kept busy enough that I had little time to take advantage of it. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and seek to find.
