FOTD 17-08-10 (Creepy-Crawlie [6])
by Jim Muth 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

FOTD -- August 17, 2010 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image has a bluish, creepy-crawlie tentacled blob in the middle. And the creepy is surrounded by other smaller creepies. I had almost no choice but to name it "Creepy Crawlie". Actually, the image was created by the 'manowarj' formula, one I very rarely turn to. An equally unlikely aspect is the use of the 'invert' feature, another one I very rarely even try out. A good part of the image consists of 'inside' stuff made visible by the 'fmod' feature, a feature I sometimes make good use of. But all these things together created an image that rates a 6, so I let it go as the FOTD for August 17. If the colors had not been so wildly gaudy, I might have rated it higher. Actually, those who enjoy fractals that over-stimulate the optic nerve may consider the image worth a 7 or 8. With a running time of under 33 seconds, calculating the image will waste little time that might have been put to better use elsewhere. An equally good way to save time is to view the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Another warm and muggy day passed unappreciated here at Fractal Central on Monday. When the temperature reached 90F 32C, the fractal cats glued themselves to the cool floor and didn't get up until hunger got the better of them. Meanwhile, my day was comfortably uneventful. The next FOTD will be posted in glori- ous full color in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and show your care. Give a handout to a homeless fractal.

FOTD 16-08-10 (Stellar Nursery [9.5])
by Jim Muth 16 Aug '10

16 Aug '10

FOTD -- August 16, 2010 (Rating 9.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a scene in a perturbed Mandelbrot set, and it is also a scene in some distant galaxy. But is it a real scene that actually exists somewhere? This depends on whether the universe (or multiverse) is finite or infinite. If the universe is limited, then the scene possibly might exist somewhere, some- what as it appears in the image, though more likely the image is purely imaginary. If the universe is infinite however, then the scene actually exists somewhere out there. In fact, it exists in an infinity of different locations. Since I assume the uni- verse is infinite, I claim that today's image is, in effect, an actual photograph of one of those infinity of identical scenes. Metaphysical philosophizing aside, the star field outlining the bud in today's image is all a matter of coloring. Therefore, I must humbly give myself most of the credit for the 9-1/2 rating of the image. To see what coloring can do, try changing the color palette and then see what you think the image is worth. The name "Stellar Nursery" implies that there is more truth in the image than meets the eye. The calculation time of under 1-1/4 minutes can hardly be beat. The only thing that stands a chance is the trip to the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> to view the finished image there. Heavy clouds and intermittent rain made things rather unpleasant here at Fractal Central on Sunday. The temperature of 75F 24C was fair enough, though the rain made it hard to enjoy. As of 8pm, just over one inch or about 3cm of rain had fallen into FL's garden rain gauge. The fractal cats had their big thrill when they started chasing a wasp that got into the kitchen. Luckily, I removed the bug before anyone got stung. The rest of the day was totally routine. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, or maybe don't take care. Life can be pretty boring for those who are always taking too much care.

Re: [Fractint] FOTD 15-08-10 (Seven Down [7])
by Jim Muth 15 Aug '10

15 Aug '10

FOTD -- August 15, 2010 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: This is the politically correct version of today's FOTD. The first version, which I posted by mistake, uses the actual name of a soft drink as its title. The title of this version is the antithesis of the title of the first version, and should offend no one. Today's image is a quickie, yet still manages to rate a 7. It shows a tiny order-7 minibrot in a parent fractal that on the surface is a perfect Mandelbrot set. Today's scene is located in a curving filament in the north branch of the Seahorse Valley of the minibrot lying around -1.48 on the main stem of the parent M-set. The name "Seven-Down" does not hint at a soft drink. It refers to the order-7 nature of the scene. Finding an image in such a short time, which still rates a 7, is more than I had hoped for, but sometimes near-miracles do happen. The slightly dragging calculation time of 6-1/2 minutes may be eliminated by viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> I spent all day Saturday at Old Fractal Central, so I can't say how the weather was at New Fractal Central, but when I returned in the evening, the fractal cats told me things had been satis- factory, with lots of clouds and a temperature around 73F 23C. The next FOTD will be posted in around 10 hours. Until then, take care, and even though it is scientifically impossible to foresee the future, I know that precognition does happen. If science is correct and reason rules, as skeptics claim, I am either lying, deluded, or engaging in wishful thinking. But what if reason does not rule?

Lsystem picture
by ROUX Benjamin 14 Aug '10

14 Aug '10

Hi everybody, I'm new in this mailing list (and I hope to use it correctly), and I have a little question with Fractint. I want to make a picture of an L-system fractal, but I need to bypass the limit size of 2048 by 2048 pixels. I try to improve the picture size in the configuration file (at the line of "image disk") but it dosen't work (software crash). Any idea ? (Split the picture in two or four parts and render it part by part ?) Thank you in advance ! (And excuse me for my english, I'm french !) Regards, Benjamin Roux Une messagerie gratuite, garantie à vie et des services en plus, ça vous tente ? Je crée ma boîte mail www.laposte.net

Testing the basics with beads and wheat
by Mike Frazier 14 Aug '10

14 Aug '10

This is my first parameter file post to the Fractint Mail List. If you have been reading my earlier posts you are already aware that I released Fracton for the Mac yesterday. One of the first things I would like to test is Fracton's ability to export .PAR files. I don't have a PC so I haven't been able to test the exported files with Fractint. Thats where I am hoping someone here can help. Would at least one person please reply whether or not this par file works in FractInt and gives the same image as the fracton.orgweb page link below. While testing Fracton I used parameter files from Jim Muth's Fractal Of The Day website as test cases. I have looked at hundreds (maybe even thousands) of them and I have a lot of favorites. Occasionally, I would spend a few minutes exploring the image and I was often rewarded with interesting things. One thing I always tried was zooming into noisy areas to see what was there and I found one that I thought was spectacular. The FOTD in question is Spirit_of_The_All from October 28, 2009 which is at: http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/FotD_09-10-28.html The original image is one of my favorites but if you move just off the top of the image and zoom in you will find something that looks like Beads and Wheat in 3D. I usually wouldn't post a pan and zoom parameter file but this image looks so different than the original it's unusual. It is also important to have a similar original PAR file that does work in FractInt to compare with the Fracton exported one. You can get the original with different pan and zoom from the FOTD link above. When I was first looking at the image I wondered if anyone else noticed it. I looked on the mail list and no one said anything so by posting this par file this potentially undiscovered image will be documented. I have a web page that shows what Fracton thinks the image looks like at: http://www.fracton.org/fmlposts/20100813_beads_and_wheat.html START PARAMETER FILE======================================= *Beads_and_Wheat { ; Exported from Fracton. reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=fracton.frm formulaname=F_20100813_1540 passes=1 float=y center-mag=-0.185/0/13.3333335/1/-90/0 params=-1.38/-0.99/-1.98/0.47/-0.48/3.46/0/0/0/0 maxiter=250 inside=bof60 logmap=yes colors=000zzzzyzzxzzwzzuyzsyzqyzoxzmxzkxzixzhwzgwz\ fwzewzdvzcvzbvyavx`uw_uvZtuYttXssWsrVrqUrpTqoSqnRp\ mQplPokOojNniMmhLlgKkfJjeIidHhcGgbFfaEe`Dd_CcZBbYB\ aXB`W9_V9ZU9YT9XS9WR8VQ8UP8TO8SN8RM6QL6PK6OJ6NI6MH\ 6KG5KF5IE5GD5GC5EB3DA3D93B839739628526426325223113\ 11201101101001000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000010020030\ 0500600800900B00D00G00I00K00M00O00Q00S00U00W00Y00W\ 00U00U00S10S10Q20Q30O50O60M60M80K90KB0ID0ID0GE0EG0\ EI0DK0DK0BM0BO09Q09S08U08U06W06Y05_05a03a02d02f01h\ 01j00j00l00o00q00s00w00zK0zP0zU0zX0zU0zP0zK0x00u00\ s01q02o05l06j08f0Bd0Da0G_1IY3MW5OU7SS9UQBWQDUQFSQH\ OQJMQLKQNIQPGQRDQTBQV9QX8QZ5Q`3Qb2Qd1Qf0Qh0Qj0Ql0Q\ m0Wl0_j0fh1jf3od5ua8zYBzYEzXIzXKyYPw_UubZsecqhhokm\ mnrkquitxhwzfzzdzz_zzYzzUzzSzzQzzMzzKzzIzzEzzDxzBs\ z9oz6lz5hz3dz2_z0Wz0Sz0Oz } frm:F_20100813_1540 { ; Pan and zoom of Fractal of the Day for October 28, 2009 ; Spirit_of_The_All by Jim Muth ; It looks like Beads and Wheat ; Posted to Fractint Mail List by Mike Frazier ; time = 7.1 sec on Mac Pro 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon ; using Fracton at 640 x 480 with no anti-aliasing z=g=pixel,a=real(p1),b=imag(p1),c=real(p2), d=imag(p2),e=real(p3),f=imag(p3): h=z^a+(g-b)*z-f, j=c*z^d+g, z=z-e*h/j, .0000000000000000000000000000005<=|h| }* * * END PARAMETER FILE========================================= -- Mike Frazier www.fracton.org

I considered rating it at a 10, but a rating of a 10 is the absolute top, and if I had given a 10, there would be no higher rating available for an even better image. Jim Muth jamth@??? Great fractal Jim, well worth the 9.5 Roger Alexander

Gmail seems to have mangled the parameter file end of line returns for some reason. Please go to the website link for the correct parameter file. The PAR file I pasted had PC returns and I guess the mac version of gmail doesn't like that. http://www.fracton.org/fmlposts/20100813_beads_and_wheat.html -- Mike Frazier www.fracton.org
