Somr fractal .pars zipped (now with accompanying .frm files)

Lee, Here is the .zip file which now has the .par and .frm files enclosed. The only change is sf70270, which is deleted because I can not get the .par to display with @shift in fractint. All I get is a background screen without data. I do not know why, because the .gif display works ok. I put all the formulae in the .zip file just in case others have the same problem, but with different ones than you did. Let me know if it is all good. Take it light, or anyway you can get it.

FOTD 30-11-06 (Avocado Eruption [9])
by Jim Muth 30 Nov '06

30 Nov '06

FOTD -- November 30, 2006 (Rating 9) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is unusual enough to earn a rating of a 9. This is one of the few times a FOTD image has garnered such a high rating. The image is a scene in the fractal that results when various negative portions of Z^(-1.5) and Z^(-5.5) are combined and (1/C) is added. This parent fractal is a sprawling Mandeloid thing with four near-equal main bays. Today's scene is located rather deep in one of the many valleys separating the bays. To do something out of the ordinary, I first found a midget, then I 'evaporated' the scene by raising the escape radius to 10^100, which created a totally blank black screen. I then brought the blank screen back to life by rendering it with the 'bof60' inside fill. The active fill resurrected the ghost of the dead midget and surrounded it with bubbles of the most unusual shape. The almost totally green color palette seems to work quite well with today's scene. I added only a few reddish highlights to the high points of the bubbles. The green colors inspired the name "Avocado Eruption". After a bit of consideration, I decided that the image is striking enough to deserve a rating of an exceptional 9. One bad point of the image is its slowness. It takes over 1-1/4 hours to calculate on my 200mhz machine, and will take close to 20 minutes even on the hottest fireball machines. But salvation is at hand on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> where the image is posted for instant viewing. Gray dreary clouds accompanied by drizzle and a temperature of 54F 12C kept a lid on the merriment here at Fractal Central on Wednesday. But the fractal cats do not depend on the weather to bring them happiness. They create their own high spirits. They kept themselves busy most all day by pulling the morning paper from the table, scattering and wrecking it, then shredding the remains. By the time their evening treat was served, they were thoroughly worn out, covered in confetti, and ready to eat. My day was on the slow side, and with my bad ankle still mending, I had the spare time needed to create today's unusual image. Tomorrow will likely be another slow day, which will likely result in another pretty good FOTD. Until then, take care, and things are never so good that they can't get better.

FOTD 29-11-06 (Horn of Plenty [7])
by Jim Muth 29 Nov '06

29 Nov '06

FOTD -- November 29, 2006 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: With its abundance of detail, today's fractal is in marked contrast to yesterday's image, which had a definite lack of intricate detail. In fact, today's image earned the name "Horn of Plenty", (otherwise known as a cornucopia). It also earned a rating of a 7, which is not bad as FOTD fractals go. The parent fractal came about when I mixed 3 parts of Z^(0.25) with 1 part of Z^(2.5). This parent appears as a harmless Man- delbrot set rotated about 45 degrees CCW, with extra filamentary detail scattered beyond the tip of the main stem. The scene of today's image is located in this extra detail. Since the extra detail is disconnected from the main M-set, the detail around the central midget in today's image is disconnec- ted also, though a bit of observation may be necessary to see that some of the elements in the image are floating. The unusually brilliant colors, which are largely responsible for the rating of a 7, are a total accident, brought about by a tap of the finger on the 'enter' key. Sometimes, when all else seems to fail, simply striking 'enter' will produce a pretty good random color palette. In my opinion, the render time of under 6 minutes is a satis- factory time to wait for such a gaudy fractal image. But others may not share my opinion. For convenience, the completed image has been posted in GIF format on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Quite a few of the older FOTD images are also available there. Tuesday was probably a pleasant day here at Fractal Central. I say probably because the morning was so foggy that the weather was invisible. In fact, one could barely see across the street. But when the fog lifted, the temperature reached 57F 14C and the fractal cats were mostly content. They did get into one brief squabble, but quickly forgot whatever misdeed had annoyed them. Nicholas purred like a tiger as he enjoyed his evening treat of cheddar cheese. Cassie finished her tuna in silence. My day was as pleasant as could be expected. The work is caught up and the FOTD fractal is an improvement over yesterday's. The next fractal will appear in 24 hours. If all goes well, it will be an improvement over today's image. If not, it will still be a good fractal. Until then, take a little care.

FOTD 27-11-06 (Satin Ribbons [7])
by Jim Muth 28 Nov '06

28 Nov '06

FOTD -- November 27, 2006 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is found in the parent fractal that results when one part of Z^101 is mixed with 100 parts of Z^(0.01) and C is added. This parent fractal is located far out of the usual range, at -99 on the negative X-axis. It is little more than a series of vague circles with an active area with a tiny Mandel- oid on the east side. This Mandeloid is rotated 180 degrees and distorted in an indescribable way, but despite its distortion, it holds many areas of interest. Today's scene is located in a nest of ribbon-like shafts that converge on the East Valley of the Mandeloid, which actually lies on the west side of the main bay. Seeing the potential for ribbons in the initial fractal, I attempted to create a color palette that would highten the impression of festive decor- ations. It was successful enough to rate the result at a 7. The name "Satin Ribbons" is self-explanatory. The midget at the center lies just beyond the limit of resolution, which is so close to the actual magnitude of the image that it was necessary to add the 'mathtolerance' entry to the parameter file to assure that the image calculates at the correct magnitude. And let's face it, the 16-minutes required to calculate the image is a bit much for today's active fractalist to swallow. Luckily, relief it at hand on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> where the image has been calculated and posted for all fractal fans to see and enjoy without delay. Hazy skies and a mild temperature of 50F 10C made things rather pleasant outdoors here at Fractal Central on Sunday. The fractal cats made things rather pleasant indoors when they managed to get through the day without getting into mischief. My day was about as pleasant as could be expected. The next FOTD, which will appear in 24 hours, will hopefully be equally pleasant.

FOTD 28-11-06 (FOTD for Nov 28 '06 [No Rating])
by Jim Muth 28 Nov '06

28 Nov '06

FOTD -- Nov 28, 2006 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image shows just a little of what happens when 0.2 parts of Z^(7.7) are mixed with 1.4 parts of Z^(0.77) and C is added. The parent fractal appears as a Mandeloid with an East Valley divided into several arms. Today's scene is located in this East Valley area. To add to the interest I calculated the image with the inside set to 'zmag', an option I use very little. In my opinion, the result does not quite earn a name or rating, but it is still a rather interesting image to see. The calculation time of over 14 minutes on my machine is too slow for such a nondescript result. But the finished image is posted on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> where it may be viewed at leisure. Hazy sunshine and a temperature of 54F 12C made the outdoors reasonably pleasant. Lots of food and an inside temperature of 70F 21C kept the fractal cats happy. Lots of work, plus a bum ankle that is coming along all too slowly, made my day marginal. But tomorrow promises to be far more relaxing, allowing more time for the FOTD. Until then, take care, and be at one with everything.

FOTD 26-11-06 (Fuzzy Caterpillars [6])
by Jim Muth 26 Nov '06

26 Nov '06

FOTD -- November 26, 2006 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The parent fractal of today's semi-glorious image resulted when I combined various negative portions of Z^(2.5) and Z^(0.08). This parent fractal resembles a distorted Mandelbrot set rotated 180 degrees, with a much broadened East Valley. Ignoring the broadened East Valley, today's image is located in a curiously out-of-place bit of fractal stuff on the southeast shore of the main bay of its parent. I named the image "Fuzzy Caterpillars". Indeed, the four vavy arms extending from the central midget do have a certain cater- pillar feel about them. I rated the image at a 6. It's quite a colorful fractal scene, but I could find nothing out of the ordinary in it that might raise the rating to a lofty 7 or 8. The render time of 11 minutes is slightly slow for such an image, but relief is at hand on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> where the caterpillar image is posted for quick viewing. Another near-perfect day went un-noticed by the fractal cats on Saturday. They were more interested in exploring the more re- mote nooks and crannies of New Fractal Central. Finding little of interest in the crannies, their attention eventually turned to thoughts of their evening treat. My day was all that could be expected. I see no reason why tomorrow should not be the same. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be upbeat.
