FOTD -- April 29, 2007   (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Fractal fans take note.   Today's image was created with a new formula, MandelbrotMixImag, which mixes various parts of real and imaginary powers of Z.   I have attached the new formula below.

START NEW FORMULA------------------------------------------------

MandelbrotMixImag {; Jim Muth
z=p3, c=fn1(pixel),
a=real(p1), b=imag(p1),
d=real(p2), f=imag(p2):
z=a*(z^b)+d*(z^flip(f))+c,
|z| <= 100 }

END NEW FORMULA--------------------------------------------------

In today's image, which is really only a test, I have added 0.05 part of Z^(i) to Z2 to create a parent fractal that resembles a degenerate Mandelbrot set shattered almost beyond recognition.   Today's image is located in the fragmentary stuff filling most of the main bay of the M-set.

I named the image "Fearsome Forest" though there is very little in it that might cause fear.   Actually, the image resembles nothing as much as the edge of a fantastic forest that might grow on the earth-like planet that was recently discovered.

After not too much thought, I rated the image at a 6.   The lack of a central midget cost one point.   The render time of 2-1/2 minutes is appropriately fast for such an image.   And as always, the finished image is available for viewing on the FOTD web site at:

The fractal cats once again showed unusual interest in the weather here at Fractal Central on Saturday.   But I saw nothing unusual in the cloudy sky and temperature of 59F 15C.   The cats must know something I don't.

For now, I have bad news and good news.   The bad news is that there will be no FOTD for April 30, when I will be on the way back to Old Fractal Central.   The good news is that if I can get the old computer, which I left there, to work, the FOTD will return on Tuesday, May 01.   Until then, take care, and be at peace with all things.
