FOTD 03-03-14 (Extra-Rich Seven [A-7,M-8])
by Jim Muth 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

FOTD -- March 03, 2014 (Rating A-7,M-8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image shows one of the richest order-7 minibrots I have yet turned up. It lies in the remains of the northern branch of Seahorse Valley of the large minibrot on the main spike of the parent Mandelbrot set, which is just beginning to morph from quadratic to order-7. The minibrot has been caught about half way through the morphing process, and is quite indescribable. I named the image "Extra-Rich Seven" because of the unusual richness of the central minibrot. This richness earns the image an art rating of a 7, while the math aspect earns an excellent 8. The very fast calculation time of 30 seconds has rarely been exceeded in FOTD history, but there is still the need to set up and run the parameter file. This minor chore can be eliminated by checking the FOTD web sites. The finished image is posted on the FOTD web sites at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> <http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/about.html> The day began cloudy here at Fractal Central. The sky cleared in the afternoon, but despite the sun, the temperature never rose above 19F -7C. The fractal cats unexciting adventures continued as they enjoyed the sun on their shelf for several hours in the afternoon. The humans were sullen and grouchy most of the day. The next FOTD will be posted soon. Until soon arrives, take care, and what worthy cause will concerned activist agitators choose to go out and demonstrate for next?

FOTD 04-03-14 (Five Purple Peaks [A-6,M-8])
by Jim Muth 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

FOTD -- March 04, 2014 (Rating A-6,M-8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a scene on the southern shore line of a half- morphed minibrot on the long filament extending from a sub-bud on the north side of the large period-2 bud of the parent Mandelbrot set, which is corrupted in its depths by quintic energies. The minibrot at the center of the image appears as a depression in the center of a ring of 5 peaks. I am not sure whether to call the ring of peaks a basin or a plateau. Maybe the closest description would be a volcano. The magnitude of the scene is near the limit of perfect resolution. Zooming in on the minibrot will lead to the appearance of breakdown, though the amount of breakdown will remain reasonable at least as far as the minibrot. The name "Five Purple Peaks" refers to the many rings of five hills with minibrot basins at their centers scattered throughout the image. The art rates an average 6; the math rates an 8 due to the unexpected combination of hills and basins in the scene. The calculation time of 30 seconds will pass in a fractal flash, whatever that might be. Checking the finished image on one of the web sites can also be done in a flash. The finished image is available online at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> <http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/about.html> A hazy sun and a cold temperature of 27F -3C made today feel more like January than March here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats had an average day for cats. The fractal humans had the same kind of day for humans. The next FOTD will be posted when the time is right. Until whenever that might be, take care, and never forget that the human spirit consists of a lot more than a frame of mind.

FOTD 05-03-14 (4-Cornered Minibrot [A-8,M-7])
by Jim Muth 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

FOTD -- March 05, 2014 (Rating A-8,M-7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The story behind the creation of today's image is the same as yesterday's, since today's image is a close-up of the minibrot at the center of yesterday's image, with an appropriate touch-up of the colors. The magnitude of over 4*(10^12) is as high as the magnification can possibly be stretched at this particular fractal location without the resolution breakdown becoming objectionable. The name "4-Cornered Minibrot" describes the minibrot at the center, which despite its obvious quintic energies, has only four lobes, an odd situation that is true of almost all positive power Mandeloids. (Strangely enough, the negative power Mandeloids have one more spike than the generating negative power of Z, while both positive and negative power Julia sets have the same number of elements as the absolute value of the generating power.) The art rating of an 8 indicates that I put extra effort into the coloring; the math rating of a 7 shows that the math trick still has a little life left in it. The calculation time of a fireball 30 seconds removes most of the wait for the image to finish. For an even easier life, check the finished image on one or all of the FOTD web sites, which may be accessed at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> <http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/about.html> Cloudy chilly weather made today notably normal here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats made it through the day doing nothing worth commenting about, which is actual cat reality. Real cats do not have human adventures like Garfield; they are simply cats. Meanwhile, the fractal humans spent the day being human, which by human standards can be notably boring. The next FOTD will be posted in the fourth-dimensional future direction. Until we travel that 4-D distance, take care, and look for the higher dimensions. We are told that at least ten dimensions exist but we cannot observe them.

MOTD 060314 Give in-Adapt-Take over
by Albrechtx 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

HI, ; this is the third MOTD using the same basic Manowar Image. After Secant and Newton now Manymods as outside. ; They have in common that they have a clearly defined center so they can be used with the basic image i have chosen because it has a black center which can be awakened to life - it contains lots of invisible data like a mandel. ; There are two color variants as I could not find the better one. Which of the three MOTD´s is your favorite? I really would like to know. ; I told you that Manymods has an "intelligent" way of adapting to other frms and surroundings. This proves it again. It even adapts to the X-symmetry in an elegant and beautiful way. Therefore the title - of course some of the egomaniacs leading wars these days should behave this way. I call it the female tactics. If you ask me men should be forbidden to rule a country ; https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pkfyjri8i10hoyf/7J7VnF8ITl ; Cheers, Albrecht

HI, ; some images risen from the depth of MFR12 are so strange that you forget to breeze on first sight, trying to find something it resembles. But there is nothing and yet - as it has such a clean structure there must be something. Your guess is at good as mine, bu one thing is clear: It is impressive. ; https://www.dropbox.com/sh/t2ma5fongxftceg/hbUqD5PgbQ ; Cheers, Albrecht

MOTD 050314-2 The Battle
by Albrechtx 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

HI, ; I added a second part to todays MOTD. It?s a zoom into 47000-03 but a different image, because the outside border is increased, so in fact two different spirals battle for dominance. Nevertheless the image is in no way chaotic, as the colors still are different and the result is extraordinary. ; https://www.dropbox.com/sh/9d9zvwq8cisgdln/mW8ngvSR_i Cheers, Albrecht

HI, ; there?s a good reason for the name: If you take yesterday?s 41000-03.gif and change just one digit - rp2 second digit - from 1 to 7 you get todays 4700-01 ! This basic image is beautiful and interesting, but the light zoom - judge yourself. FRM and par included. A small tip: Copy the MOTD parfiles into a "MOTD.par" file within the fracitint par section, so you have them all together. ; https://www.dropbox.com/sh/yb4omt26symmgm6/KXQfVao0wg Cheers, Albrecht

Comments on Albrecht's "MOTD 040314" 41000-01.GIF
by Hal Lane 04 Mar '14

04 Mar '14

Albrecht, I really liked your fractal 41000-01.GIF a lot! The deep red and subtle slate blue colors immediately reminded me of old hand-painted Chinese screens and pictures. I think that impression was helped by the thin curved arcs that evoked the strokes from a calligraphic brush that's used to draw Chinese characters. The deep red colors are also shaded through a range of very pleasing tones -- but with a twist (see below.) Raymond Filiatreault's FintMap http://www.nahee.com/Software/+FIntMap/ ver 1.4 shows some interesting work was done to create this particular color map: http://tinyurl.com/41000-01-FIntMap-color-map or: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/MFR12/41000-01_FIntMap.jpg The slate blue is a single color throughout the entire image -- it's in the color "swatch" roughly under the green "4" in the file name in the above screen capture; however, these deep reds have been almost dithered by the fractal itself to give a textured aspect to these areas. The dithering is mostly between two adjacent colors of red in the color map (those colors are under the "10" in the file name.) I really like the effect this creates in the image -- it seems to add age to the "canvas" the work is painted on... Looking at the color swatch at the bottom of the screen capture of FIntMap, I almost expected to see Paul Carlson-like areas with shiny highlights in Albrecht's fractal -- but the patterns of the fractal's areas didn't invoke this. Albrecht's fractal is definitely not a shiny, Carlsonesque "Mind Boggling Fractal". - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ######################## --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

. Albrecht - I know how you feel <g> about lack of feedback, but that doesn't mean people aren't interested! I'm sure many (like me) download and render the formulas w/o necessarily commenting all the time; I don't expect everyone who downloads one of my animations to jump online and comment how awesome they are, (although I know they are awesome and just a little praise would not hurt...<g>). The multifractal formulas are way-cool; I have tried zooms and parameter animation tests but nothing worth doing (yet); also they take LONG to render. As for the question about FractInt platforms, I will repeat that an old Win9X machine is your best bet. Pentium-2,3 at 500-900 MHz or thereabouts. For current systems, I have found that WinXP itself isn't the problem - it seems to be the hardware a/o chipset configuration. Athlon64 chips are good, Intel not so good. I have and have had several systems over the years; the one I currently am using (Alienware Area51, purchased in 2006) has NVIDIA GeForce 8600, and AMD AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+ -15807.3 Mhz. It is the fastest fractint machine I have ever had - just click on the file in windows and it opens and runs in a command shell. Yet my previous WinXP Gateway system was absolutely unusable with fractint. With both of these I would boot up with a DOS 7.0 boot CD and run on a FAT32 partition. .
