FOTD 23-01-07 (Vanilla Snowballs [Not rated])
by Jim Muth 23 Jan '07

23 Jan '07

FOTD -- January 23, 2007 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Very busy days are not conducive to quality fractals. Today's fractal was created on a very busy day, therefore it might not be top quality, but it has its own flavor, and that flavor is vanilla. When I saw the image, I immediately thought of vanilla snowballs arranged in a spiral. The name "Vanilla Snowballs" came quite naturally. I did not bother to rate today's image, which was achieved almost without effort, but if I had rated it, the rating would have been sub-average. let's face it; the image needs more work. A good part of the image consists of inside stuff made visible by the 'bof61' inside fill. The parent fractal resembles the east half of a stretched Mandelbrot set. The scene of today's fractal is located near the edge of the material obscuring the northwest part of the parent M-set. The render time of 5-1/2 minutes is true on an ancient P133 machine, which is older than the fractal workhorse P200. The P200 is currently out of action for a few days with a dead power- supply exhaust fan. And best of all, the already-rendered GIF image is available for viewing on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> The day began with a dusting of snow. The snow ended by 9am, but the clouds hung tough through the afternoon and the tempera- ture failed to reach freezing. The fractal cats were uncon- cerned with the outside conditions. They were more concerned that their evening treat be served up on schedule. My day was hectic, and it will continue this way most all week. The next FOTD will probably appear on schedule in 24 hours. If it fails to appear, you will know that I had no time to do it. Until the next appointed hour, take care, and be with it, what- ever 'it' might be.

FOTD 22-01-07 (Eight Block Square [No rating])
by Jim Muth 22 Jan '07

22 Jan '07

FOTD -- January 22, 2007 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: A very busy day leaves little time for discussion. Today's unrated image is named "Eight Block Square". I gave it this name when I noticed the eight blocky, black areas surround- ing the compulsory midget at the center. The parent fractal was created by iterating a formula combining a little Z^(-25) with a little more Z^(2.5), then adding C. This parent is a most unusual fractal, basically a crescent ox-bow lake. Today's image was found at the edge of a large flat disk filling the center of the parent. The image consists of partially inside and partially outside 'stuff'. I added interest by calculating it with the outside set to 'tdis' and the inside set to 'fmod'. These options appear to give the best image. The render time of 2-3/4 minutes is brief enough, but it may be reduced to zero by going to the FOTD web site at" <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and viewing the finished image there. Sunday turned cloudy and colder here at Fractal Central. The temperature reached only 25F -4C, but this did not deter the fractal cats from having fun indoors. By the time their evening treat was served, they were totally tired out and ready to settle down to eat. My day was very busy, and from the looks of things, the next 3 or 4 days will be even busier. I cannot guarantee that an unbroken series of FOTD's will appear, but I'll do my best. As of this evening, I give the Jan 23 to the Jan 26 FOTD's a 50- percent chance of appearing. Check back to see how right I am. Until next time, take care, and help save the fractals. Give to the fractal iteration fund.

Parsnips
by David M Fisher 22 Jan '07

22 Jan '07

Well, haven't heard from anyone not to do this...so here goes. The name (subject) was selected because there will be at irregular intervals par snips as I get motivated. No formula on this one.....it is embedded in the basic fractint program, tetrate, I believe. This is the first one in my archives. It is really >old<, but has been reworked, both in resolution and color. Thanks for your interest. David M Fisher sunfish(a)intercom.net

FOTD 21-01-07 (FOTD for Jan 21 2007 [No rating])
by Jim Muth 21 Jan '07

21 Jan '07

FOTD -- January 21, 2007 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's quickie image involves a play on the numbers 2 and 5, combining various portions of Z^(-25) and Z^(2.5), and then adding C. The parent fractal is shaped like a crescent. It is surrounded by minibrots of various shapes and sizes. Today's image is located in the vicinity of East Valley of one of the minibrots. I gave the image neither name nor rating, since I put almost no effort into it. During the 16 minutes the image was calculat- ing, I tended to other business. But the image is worth at least a short glance, especially if that glance is directed at the pre-rendered image, which has been or soon will be posted on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Saturday was bitingly cold here at Fractal Central. The strong wind and temperature of 28F -2C made the outdoors much too cold for comfort. The fractal cats did not worry themselves about outdoor conditions however. They were snug indoors all day. My day was very busy. The rush will continue most of the coming week, so if I miss a few FOTD's, do not be alarmed. You will know that I had no chance to visit fractal land. The next FOTD is due to appear in 24 hours. I'll give a 67-percent chance that it actually will appear. Until next time, take care, and how many angels can a fractal support?

20 Jan '07

FOTD -- January 20, 2007 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image could be considered the halfway point on the quest for a great fractal. I stopped halfway because of the very busy day on Friday, which left little time for fractals. The image is a scene in the southern branch of Seahorse Valley of the parent Mandelbrot set that results when 0.6 parts of Z^(-1.5) are combined with 0.6 parts of Z^(+1.5) and straight C is added. Perhaps I should not say the image is a scene in Seahorse Val- ley. The image is a cross section of the center part of the entire valley. There is no midget M-set lurking boldly at the center, (though plenty midgets are likely lurking in the purple chaos along the upper and lower edges of the frame). In keeping with the trend lately, I gave the image no name or rating. The reason is that I had no time to do a proper search, and had to settle for a picture of the valley itself. The chief attraction in the picture is the curious features scat- tered through the center of the valley. Midgets might lie deep in these features, but I rather suspect that the features, in typical fractal style, go on forever with little or no change. One might call such features Cantor dust. The render time of 14-3/4 minutes is slow for an image of such mediocre worth. But relief for fractal indigestion is at hand on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> where the pre-rendered image is or soon will be posted. Partly cloudy, cold and blustery weather here at Fractal Central on Friday, with occasional squalls of snow and a temperature of 32F 0C, did not worry the fractal cats, who passed the day play- ing and keeping warm. When the time for their treat arrived, they were worn out and ready to enjoy their food. As expected, my day was very busy, and the next week or so will be the same. The next FOTD will most likely appear in 24 hours. If it doesn't make it, you'll know the rush has turned out to be worse than anticipated. Until then, take care, and keep alert for new fractals.

FOTD -- January 18, 2007 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: An unexpectedly busy day cut into the time available for fractal work, but I still managed to find an image worth looking at. The marginally worthwhile image came about when I combined Z^(-1.6) with 0.4 part of Z^(-6.1) and added (1/C) to create a parent fractal that cannot be described in words. Today's image was found, as so many fractals are, in a valley of the parent fractal. Most of the action was achieved by rendering the image with the 'outside' set to 'tdis' and the 'inside' set to 'fmod'. I gave the final image neither name nor rating. I could not honestly rate or name a FOTD that had so little effort put into it. The calculation time of 5-1/2 minutes may be conveniently avoided by visiting the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and viewing the pre-calculated image there. But before going to the web site, allow an hour or so for the image to be posted. A sunny but cold day, with a high temperature of only 32F 0C here at Fractal Central on Wednesday, was ignored by the fractal cats, who would rather warm themselves by the radiators than watch the action outdoors. My day was unexpectedly busy, and tomorrow will likely be the same. But regardless, the next FOTD will appear in 24 hours, give or take a few. Until then, take care, and remember that clouds are fractals also.

FOTD -- January 19, 2007 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image has neither name nor rating. It deserves none. Once again I was too busy to give the FOTD the attention it deserves. And from the looks of things, the work will remain very heavy through a good part of next week. The parent fractal was generated when I combined 1.46 parts of Z^(0.64) with 0.79 part of Z^2 and added C. This parent is a twisted Mandelbrot set surrounded by a large field of chaos filled with holes of various shapes and sizes. Today's scene is located on the northwest shore line of the main bay of the M-set, where Seahorse Valley begins. The overall effect of the image is one of stress and tearing. The random color palette with its very narrow bands emphasizes the effect. The render time of 5-3/4 minutes is within reason, but those with over-qualified computers may still choose to view the image on the FOTD web site which may be accessed at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> If the image is not yet posted when you check the web site, try again in an hour or so. It takes a few minutes to update the site. Partly cloudy skies, brisk winds, and a temperature that rose only to 34F 1C made things rather nippy here at Fractal central on Thursday. The fractal cats did not concern themselves with outside weather however. They spent most of the day chasing each other up and down the hallway. The big excitement came when Cassie squeezed behind a row of books and knocked several onto the floor. My day was unexpectedly busy. The next FOTD will likely appear on schedule in 24 hours. Until then, take care, search for meaning, and don't stop until you find it.
