FOTD 08-04-09 (Silver Barrels [8])
by Jim Muth 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

FOTD -- April 08, 2009 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The parent fractal of today's image came about when I subtracted an unlikely 14.55 parts of Z^(0.666) from an equally unlikely 14.55 parts of Z^(0.6) and added straight C, which created a grossly oversized thing that is better seen than described. Today's scene is located on the northern seacoast of a bud in a bud on the negative X-axis of this oversized parent. I named the image "Silver Barrels" for no reason except that the name sounds a bit 'alternative' and there is a lot of silver in the image. The rating of an 8 shows that I consider the image rather good, but also that I put too little coloring effort into the image to award myself a 1/2 point coloring bonus. The curious parent fractal seems very interesting. It may be the source of several more FOTD images in the near future. The calculation time of 3 minutes will pass like lightning for the fanatical fractal fan. It will pass like a space shuttle in orbit for the everyday fractal fan. For the casually interested, the finished image is posted on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> But don't look at too many fractals there. The next thing you know you'll be an everyday fractal fan, and then, without warning, you'll be a fanatical fan. It happened to me! With a temperature of 41F 5C, blustery winds and lumpy gray clouds, Tuesday was anything but spring-like here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats stopped waiting for the sun when a half-hour passed with no sun. They spent the next hour asking for and finally getting an extra treat. My day was once again average. The next FOTD is due in 24 hours. Odds are that it will appear on schedule. Until then, take care, and what is everyone so concerned about nowadays?

FOTD 04-04-09 (Sideways in Time [5.5])
by Jim Muth 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

FOTD -- April 04, 2009 (Rating 5.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: There's nothing quite like a scene in a perturbed Mandelbrot set when rendered with Fractint's little-used 'ranges' and 'stripes' features in effect. Today's super-quick image located on the north shore of East Valley is a typical example of a perturbed Mandelbrot forest. The effect of seeing a brilliant distant scene through a deep dark fractal forest in the foreground is typical of perturbed M-sets, and can be quite striking. This effect was one of the first I found when I began exploring fractals. Unfortunately, by now this effect is quite old to me. It dates from about 1989, so I could rate the image no higher than a 5.5. One-half point of this rating is a reward for my coloring. I had forgotten how the 'ranges' and 'stripes' features work, and it took a bit of research to track it down. The name "Sideways in Time" refers to the fact that to find today's scene we needed to go sideways in the Julibrot in the fourth dimension, and time can be considered a fourth dimension. Calculating in only 5 seconds, today's image is so fast it is almost instantaneous. Those with Fractint-challenged machines that panic at the sight of a DOS program will find the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Friday began with heavy rain showers here at Fractal Central. The sun made a brief appearance just after noon, but within an hour the clouds re-built and the showers returned, spoiling the fractal cats' afternoon in the sun. The duo didn't even notice the pleasant temperature of 64F 18C. My day was about average. The next FOTD is due in 24 hours, but with another of FL's week- end antiquing trips looming on Saturday, it might not appear until 36 hours have passed. Until whenever, take care, and like today's image, virtual particles may also move sideways in time.

FOTD 07-04-09 (Stellar Nursery [8])
by Jim Muth 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

FOTD -- April 07, 2009 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: For the curious, the 'Great Mandelbrot Set' image of April 5, 2009 originally appeared in a slightly different form as the FOTD for September 5, 1999, when it was named "Mandelbrot Vision". Paul Lee almost had it tracked down. Today's image is another slightly modified old one, this one from March 12, 1999, when it was named "Edge-On Galaxy". I'm re-using old images because of a heavy work load which leaves too little free time for a proper fractal search. I tweaked the colors a bit and turned the image almost upside-down, but the overall effect of stars scattered among streaks of interstellar dust is much the same. In keeping with the same theme, I named today's image "Stellar Nursery". The rating of an 8 is perhaps a bit high for a re-used fractal, but I think it is worth the rating, especially since I had not yet started rating the images when I posted the first version. The calculation time of 35 seconds means no one will waste much time doing the calculation. And as always, the finished image is or soon will be posted for immediate and total gratification on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Heavy clouds and occasional rain made the fractal cats unhappy on Monday here at Fractal Central. With a lack of sun, the near-normal temperature of 55F 13C gave no comfort. My day was near average. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and it will all work out, re- gardless of what 'it' may be.

FOTD 06-04-09 (Just Testing [No Rating])
by Jim Muth 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

FOTD -- April 06, 2009 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image lies in the pathetic fractal that is created when 6.6 parts of Z^(0.08) are combined with 0.6 part of Z^(1.9) and plain C is added. The discussion is short because I'm pressed for time. I gave the image no rating because I can't decide what I think of it. The name "Just Testing" confirms my indecision. The calculation time of 9 minutes is rather slow, so I recommend enjoying the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Sunny skies and a temperature of 66F 19C made Sunday near per- fect here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats agreed. My day was pleasant enough, and with any luck tomorrow will be the same. The next FOTD is scheduled to be posted in 12 hours, but in the FOTD world, schedules are not always followed. Until the next time, take care, and think deep thoughts.

FOTD 05-04-09 (The Great Mandelbrot Set [N.A.])
by Jim Muth 05 Apr '09

05 Apr '09

FOTD -- April 05, 2009 (Rating N.A.) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a slightly redone FOTD from the past. (I leave it to the viewer to find the original version.) It's all I had time for after FL and I spent most of the day Saturday exploring an antique emporium near Chambersburg, PA. (The trip was not wasted. FL found an old carpet that she insisted we simply had to have.) Today's image shows "The Great Mandelbrot Set", floating in the sky above a world it has just created but to which it has not yet added the details. (Any resemblance to the assumed Deity of our universe is purely intentional.) The proportions of the Great Mandelbrot Set are slightly different than those we are used to, but there can be no mistaking that it is a Mandelbrot set. The nascent universe and its creator were created by subtracting some Z^(0.45) from about twice as much Z^(0.98) and adding straight C. Since basically the same image is being posted for the second time, I could give it no rating, but even so, I think it's a bit more striking than average. The calculation time will cause no impatience. At a godlike speed of 25 seconds, it will finish before boredom even thinks of arising. Those with over-challenged computers may view the image on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Gusty winds, thick clouds and a temperature of 48F 9C took all the fun out of life here at Fractal Central on Saturday. At least, that's what the fractal cats told us when we returned from the antiquing expedition around 9pm. A quick treat of tuna cheered the cat duo, though I had to go into my archives to find today's fast FOTD. The next FOTD is due in a mere 8 hours. But whether the FOTD actually appears on schedule is a matter of chance. Until next time, take care, and seek union with the great fractal.

FOTD 03-04-09 (Squiggly Things [7.5])
by Jim Muth 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

FOTD -- April 03, 2009 (Rating 7.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: When (1/Z) is subtracted from 0.001 negative part of Z^(25) and straight C is added, the resulting fractal is a circle with a ring of 26 dots just inside its perimeter and some interesting fractal stuff near the east and west edges. Today's scene lies at the edge of a valley in the stuff near the east edge of the ring. (Rendering the formula with the function set to 'recip' creates an even more interesting parent fractal, but that's a story for another day.) I named the image "Squiggly Things" because of all the S-shaped holes surrounding the central minibrot and filling the frame. Most of the coloring effect was achieved by rendering the image with the outside set to 'fmod'. The normal 'iter' rendering is rather dull. When all was finished, I rated the fractal at a 7-1/2, which includes the usual 1/2 point reward for my coloring efforts. The calculation time of 3-1/3 minutes is not as fast as I would have preferred, but this time may be saved by viewing the image already calculated on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Spring came in like a lion here at Fractal Central on Thursday, with sunny skies and a temperature of 68F 20C. The fractal cats actually got a bit too much sun on their shelf in the window, and decided to stretch out on the floor instead. My day was about average. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.

FOTD 02-04-09 (Eruption in Progress [8.5])
by Jim Muth 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

FOTD -- April 02, 2009 (Rating 8.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today we have a fractal created by the MandNewt05 formula, one of a group of 12 that I wrote about 10 years ago and soon filed and forgot. Don't ask what this series of formulas does; I have no idea. But whatever they do makes some interesting fractals. Most of the image consists of inside stuff brought to life by the 'bof60' inside fill, which colors the points according to how close they come to the origin. The name "Eruption in Progress" came about when I fancied a volcano on some abstract mathematical alien planet erupting strings of bubbles. The rating of an 8-1/2 includes the usual 1/2 point for the effort I put into tweaking the colors to get the smooth pastel effect. The calculation time of 1-1/4 minutes is quite fast, and will cause no one the least bit of impatience. The only ones in trouble could be those with new-fangled and over-qualified machines that have forgotten how to run old-fashioned DOS pro- grams. But even for these few, relief is at hand. The image has been already calculated and posted to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> where one may view it at leisure and say 'aaaaahhh'. Heavy clouds and rain spoiled almost everything here at Fractal Central on Wednesday. The chilly un-springlike temperature of 48F 9C gave no consolation at all to the fractal cats, who gave up waiting for the sun early in the afternoon and spent the rest of the day getting into trouble in and around the book shelves in the F.C. hallway. My day was spent finishing up some work left over from Tuesday. The immediate future looks slow, but like the weather, this has a way of changing suddenly. The next FOTD will be posted by me in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and fight violently to bring about a world where all the ethnic, political and relig- ious groups live together in peace and harmony.
