FOTD 02-05-13 (Aliens Among Us [7.5])
by Jim Muth 02 May '13

02 May '13

FOTD -- May 02, 2013 (Rating 7.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image bears footprints, which is not surprising, since it lies in yesterday's parent fractal, very close to yesterday's scene. But these footprints were not made by bigfoots, they were made by aliens from outer space, which explains why they resemble the pea-pods of the body snatchers. The actual location is East Valley of the large minibrot on the main stem of the parent, where a tiny minibrot is located. Today's scene lies at the tip of the main spike of this minibrot. The name "Aliens Among Us" merely tells it like it is. For all anyone knows, the space aliens may very well be living among us, unrecognized and disguised as the man and woman next door. The rating of 7-1/2 is quite average. The extra half point is a reward for the coloring, which was more difficult than first appears. The calculation time of one minute will leave just enough time to go into the next room and pour a drink. Viewing the image on the web sites will avoid the drink. Be cheerful anyway!

The temperature of 73F 23C made it the second consecutive perfect day. Nicholas, the cat of the fractal variety made it through the day uneventfully, sleeping all afternoon in my favorite chair. The fractal humans made it through the day by working. The next in the inexhaustible series of FOTD fractals will be posted soon. Until whenever, take care, and everyone wants peace, but the evil other side will not let it happen, and this is true regardless of which side a particular person is on.

FOTD 30-04-13 (Deep Green [8.5])
by Jim Muth 01 May '13

01 May '13

FOTD -- April 30, 2012 (Rating 8.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's 8.5 rated image lies in the parent fractal that results when 0.2 part of Z^2 is combined with 15 parts of Z^(-1.5). This parent appears as an oversized but skeletal Mandelbrot set with a well-defined much smaller M-set in the area of its East Valley and two minibrots symmetrical to the X-axis in the area of its main spike. Today's scene lies in the intricate debris between these two minibrots. I named the image "Deep Green" because of the vivid green ring surrounding the central minibrot. The rating of 8-1/2 includes a sizable and perhaps too liberal bonus for my coloring. The calculation time of 1-3/4 minutes borders on slowness, making the web sites a good calculation alternative.

The fractal cat took it all in stride, satisfying himself when he evicted me from my favorite chair and took it over with a satisfied smirk on his face. The humans meanwhile checked the latest news, seeing nothing new, of course. The next FOTD will be posted when I get a round tuit.

FOTD 01-05-13 (Sasquatch Bigfoots [7.5])
by Jim Muth 01 May '13

01 May '13

FOTD -- May 01, 2013 (Rating 7.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image reminds me of bigfoot footprints. Bigfoots (not 'bigfeet') are also known as sasquatches, so I named today's image "Sasquatch Bigfoots". These enigmatic creatures cannot possibly exist. If they did, we would long since have found hard evidence of their existence such as their bodies, excrement and dwelling places. But despite the impossibility, many people still claim to have seen bigfoots, and unless one is a hard core devoted CSICOP-type skeptic, it is hard to believe that every one of these people are mistaken or lying. Today's image gives proof that bigfoots are lurking around FC. I mixed 1/10 part of Z^2 with one part of Z^(-1000) and found the proof I was not really searching for. This unlikely combination of parameters produced an oversized parent fractal that appears to be a Mandelbrot set with flat disks filling the smaller buds and floating in the center of the larger buds as well as the main bay. The situation looked rather hopeless at first, but knowing how tricky fractals can be, I checked Seahorse Valley of the large minibrot on the main stem of the parent, where two disks are tangent, and found an interesting area of chaos. This area is where the bigfoots thrive, and it took little additional time to find the evidence. If I had found an actual bigfoot, I might have rated the image at a 10. As it is, with only the mysterious footprints to show, I could give a rating no higher than 7-1/2. Perhaps the best feature of the image is its starship speed of 20 seconds. But be warned, when calculated at faster-than-light warp speed, the image finishes before it is started. So be sure to avoid the time paradox that would result if you failed to start the calculation after the image had appeared on the screen. Or better still, forget such time-travel paradoxes by checking the image on one of the web sites. Be happy in your fractal work by viewing the finished image at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> and check the glories of high-definition at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> More FOTD back images than one can shake a stick at are posted at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> After viewing the back images, forget about shaking the stick. You'll be too exhausted to lift it. The weather was absolutely perfect here at Fractal Central today. Perfection is described by a cloudless deep blue sky, pleasantly warm sun, gentle breezes, low humidity and a temperature of 75F 24C. The fractal cat took it in stride. FL spent the afternoon puttering in her garden, while I took a pleasant walk to the Susquehanna River, which is 1/2 mile from FC, 1/2 mile wide, and home to a variety of common eastern water fowl. The next FOTD will appear, though not by magic, in the proper universal time. Until whenever, take care, and be aware that, according to relativity, there is no universal time.

The compiled video is much larger than usual; I don't know why that is - I was expecting it to be smaller due to the simplicity and redundancy in the colors. The original 1024 AVI is 1 GIG! http://www.fractal-animation.net/vid/tesla.zip 33 MEG download, 1 min 47 sec run time.

FOTD 29-04-13 (Five [7])
by Jim Muth 29 Apr '13

29 Apr '13

FOTD -- April 29, 2013 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a nice soft, soothing, low-contrast scene showing a quintic minibrot against a greyish-blue background. I named it "Five" because of the Z^5 energies infesting it. (There is also an almost-forgotten movie named "Five".) The parent fractal is a Mandelbrot set caught halfway through the process of morphing into a quintic Mandeloid, at the moment when it is at the peak of shapelessness. Today's scene is located near the X-axis of the parent, at the western extremity of its main body. The circular colors ringing the minibrot came about when I rendered the scene with the inside set to 'fmod'. (Having the background a flat black also works quite well.) The rating of a 7 is getting quite commonplace, but with it's unspectacular effect, that's what I think the image is worth. The calculation time of 5-3/4 minutes is slow. Luckily, the web sites are always there to make life easier. Enjoy life to the max. See the image on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> with variations at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> and slews of older images at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Heavy clouds kept a blanket over Fractal Central today. The rain was very light, yet just enough to keep things wet. The fractal cat spent the day watching the local pigeons and asking for food, while the fractal humans caught up on the news. The next FOTD will be posted, that much is sure. The big question is exactly when. Until whenever, take care, and if it takes two to tango, how many does it take to boogaloo?

Jim's copper & verdigris green 'Black Gold' color map.
by Hal Lane 29 Apr '13

29 Apr '13

JackOfTradeZ, I like Jim's copper and verdigris-green color map for his 'Black Gold' FOTD for April 21st, 2013, too. I did a few minimal magnification zooms into the parent of Jim's Black Gold image and put them with my large version of his FOTD on my site of FOTD 'variations': http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html You've got a nice-looking image!: http://www.fractal-animation.net/tesla.gif I'm looking forward to your animation... Do you use PAR2BAT for your animations? <---<< - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ######################## =========== Forwarded email ======================== Author: JackOfTradeZ Date: To: fractint Subject: [Fractint] BlackGoldAOTD The zoom-in to the Black Gold image is looking seriously cool, especially with Maestro Muth's new color map, which after trials, looked way better than the original, or my own "gold" map. I see an intricate pattern of copper nano-wires in a molecular chip, with bursts of bluish electricity as the Log2 zoom progresses. That, along with the formula from electronics (parallel resistance, but don't take it too seriously; such formulas, an inverse of summed inverses, occur quite frequently in physics), suggest I should give this animation a "cool" sounding "electric" name. Alternatively, the images also strikingly resemble native copper minerals, with elemental copper dispersed among the blue-green mineral. I expect the animation will be finished in 2 weeks +/- ; but it is always hard to predict! Until then, fetch a preview here: http://www.fractal-animation.net/tesla.gif =========================================================

FOTD 28-04-13 (A Round Pentagram [7])
by Jim Muth 28 Apr '13

28 Apr '13

FOTD -- April 28, 2013 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's scene shows a quintic minibrot, which unlike most minibrots in the Z^5+C Mandeloid is actually interesting. This is because it is combined with the Z^2+C Mandelbrot set in such a way that the excessively large and numerous minibrots found in the Z^5+C Mandeloid are separated much more widely and the in-between space filled in. The parent fractal is an oversized Mandelbrot set already starting to look a little weird in places. Today's scene is located in the basin of a larger quintic minibrot that lies in a small island of debris inside the bud located just beyond the large bud on the X-axis of the parent. I named the image "A Round Pentagram" after the rounded pentagram immediately surrounding the central minibrot. A pentagram is the familiar 5-pointed star, which is a religious symbol when oriented with a point facing upward, and a symbol of occultism when rotated 36 degrees so that it resembles a goat's head, with a point facing downward. The rating of a 7 is in the ball park of average. If I had put extra effort into the coloring, the image might have rated an 8. The calculation time of a speed-of-light 45 seconds will pass in a flash. The flashing, which might be confused with bomb testing, thereby causing a sudden unwelcome arrival of security forces, may be avoided by checking one of the web sites. The finished image is posted online on the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> High-quality renderings are at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> and the back images are at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> A near perfect day prevailed here at Fractal Central today, with lots of sun, gentle breezes and a temperature of 70F 21C. Clouds arrived later in the afternoon, but by then all the outdoor activities were nearly finished. The fractal cat seems to be resigned that no more sun will be falling on his window shelf until autumn, and has claimed my favorite chair as his bed. The humans are resigned that autumn will eventually come, followed by winter. The next FOTD will be posted in the divinely ordained time. Until whenever that is, take care, and believe it or not, some people actually are puzzled by the way I feel at peace when I am out alone without a cell phone. The truth is that it is quite easy to be at peace when out of contact with others. After getting hooked on computers, I simply refused to become addicted to any additional absolutely necessary conveniences of modern technological life, without which survival would be in doubt.

BlackGoldAOTD

. The zoom-in to the Black Gold image is looking seriously cool, especially with Maestro Muth's new color map, which after trials, looked way better than the original, or my own "gold" map. I see an intricate pattern of copper nano-wires in a molecular chip, with bursts of bluish electricity as the Log2 zoom progresses. That, along with the formula from electronics (parallel resistance, but don't take it too seriously; such formulas, an inverse of summed inverses, occur quite frequently in physics), suggest I should give this animation a "cool" sounding "electric" name. Alternatively, the images also strikingly resemble native copper minerals, with elemental copper dispersed among the blue-green mineral. I expect the animation will be finished in 2 weeks +/- ; but it is always hard to predict! Until then, fetch a preview here: http://www.fractal-animation.net/tesla.gif .
