FOTD 29-12-12 (Faerie Fantasyland [7])
by Jim Muth 29 Dec '12

29 Dec '12

FOTD -- December 29, 2012 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: On its surface, the Z^(-2)+C Mandeloid is not much to look at -- little more than a triangle consisting of flat overlapping disks. The disks can be made larger or smaller by changing the escape radius, but this has little effect on the worth of the fractal. All is not lost however. When the entire Julibrot is sliced in different directions, it shows some aspects that are more interesting. In today's image I have double rotated the slice 66 and 66 degrees toward the Julia orientation, and rendered it with the outside parts set to 'real'. In the image, we see that the flat disks have become organized into more attractive semi- chaotic spirals. (The parent fractal actually has buds, but this is a story for another day.) I named the image "Faerie Fantasyland". The odd spelling is kind of a trendy pseudo-magical way of spelling the word 'fairy', which is used by those who are into new-age stuff. The rating of a 7 includes a full point for the smooth GIF coloring, which I really did put an hour or so of effort into. Without the coloring, the underlying scene would rate only a 6. The image is very fast. It finishes in under one minute on all but the oldest and slowest units. The image may be viewed without the inconvenience of setting up and running the included parameter file. Simply surf over to the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> and view it there. High-definition variations are posted at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The back images are posted to the venerable FOTD web site at <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Snow fell all day here at Fractal Central today, while the light winds and relatively mild temperature of 30F -1C actually made the snow enjoyable. At post time about 5 inches or 12cm had piled up, but it was still falling. I'll give a final report in the next FOTD. The fractal cat alternated between stretching out on the radiator and hunching on the shelf in the southwest window, watching the snowflakes drift down. The humans took it as easy as possible, but I am concerned with the sidewalk that will eventually need to be cleared. The next FOTD will be posted when it is ready, most likely in 24 hours. Until whenever, take care, and I see that two people have been pushed in front of subway trains within a month. These trains are dangerous. We must do something about the needless deaths caused by misused subway trains. We must pass tighter train-control laws to keep subway trains from the hands of those who would misuse them.

FOTD 28-12-12 (Into the Aether [8])
by Jim Muth 29 Dec '12

29 Dec '12

FOTD -- December 28, 2012 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's parent fractal came from the formula (-Z)^(2.003)+C rather than (+Z)^(2.003)+C. This negative Z parent resembles the more familiar positive Z, though it has no rectangles just east of the main minibrot, and the East Valley has split apart. Today's scene lies along the infinitely divided main stem, just east of a smaller minibrot that lies well east of the large minibrot. The name "Into the Aether" refers to that hypothetical all- pervading stuff that was once assumed to be the medium that transmits electromagnetic radiation. Nowadays we know that abstract waves of probablilty do the vibrating, though it's fun to think that the aether actually exists, interpenetrating the objects around us. (And who knows? Maybe something similar [a neutrino field] actually does interpenetrate our space.) The image rates an 8, which makes it the highest rated FOTD in quite some time. The parameter file finishes in 2 minutes on most SOTA units, which makes it about average. And the web sites are always available to make life easier. Get smart. View the image on the official FOTD web site without the need of calculating it. <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> And check the augmented variations at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The back images are at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Clouds prevailed here at FC today, though the lack of sun and resulting chill was mitigated by the lack of wind and relatively mild temperature of 34F +1C. The fractal cat passed the day in the southwest window, watching the world go by. The fractal humans passed the day closing out the old year and preparing for another year. The next FOTD image will be posted in the proper time. Until whenever, take care, and the first step in solving a problem is to see that everyone agrees on what the problem is.

76531Z2 Circles-zoom
by Albrecht 27 Dec '12

27 Dec '12

Hi, as announced yesterday this is a zoom into one of the fractal miniatures building every second circle, a complete and pretty image with unusual structures. You may recall that there were previous postings with similar zooms, but these were not complete images, just the underlying image made visible. I?m going to explore border defined images further but it is not easy because every participating frm reacts differently and the border values must take care of that. But IF you get a usable image it?s always worth the effort. You may try and zoom into any miniatures even the smaller outside circles and you?ll see that every one is different and has it?s own structures.

FOTD 27-12-12 (The End of the End [7])
by Jim Muth 27 Dec '12

27 Dec '12

FOTD -- December 27, 2012 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: After a brief break during which the world did not end, the FOTD has returned with another fractal. Like all other fractals, today's has existed for all eternity but has never been seen by intelligent beings until today. The parent fractal shows what happens when 2 parts of Z^2 are mixed with 2 negative parts of Z^(-0.9) and straight C is added on each iteration. This parent consists of a rather distorted Mandeloid set with a large triangular area of chaos to the northwest and a much smaller Mandeloid set some distance to the southwest. Today's image lies in the triangular area of chaos. The name "The End of the End" points out that the latest end of the world has come and gone, and like all previous ends of the world, it was a total failure. Of course, true believers will claim that some hugely important but invisible thing, such as a 'harmonic convergence', did actually happen, but was not noticed or reported by the mass media, which is controlled by the big greedy corporations for their own benefit. The calculation time of 1-1/3 minutes will pass in less time than it takes for a harmonic convergence to manifest. But the web sites will remove all traces of harmonic convergency. The chore of calculation may be avoided by viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> High definition variations are at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The back images may be accessed at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> 1-1/2 inches (4cm) of snow fell on Christmas Eve here at Fractal Central, not quite enough to make an honest white Christmas, but just enough to make the kids happy. The day after Christmas brought 5 inches (12cm) of heavy sleety snow to the area, making more of a nuisance than a post card scene. Today was cloudy with a temperature of freezing. The fractal cat kept busy watching for the occasional passing snowflake, while the humans recovered from the holiday. The next FOTD will be ready by this time tomorrow. Whether it is posted as soon as it is ready remains to be seen. Until whenever, take care, and we should not even think of passing futile laws to solve our current problems such as climate change or easy access to guns. Such laws will do nothing but create more division, more criminals, and increase overall contention. If a solution to our problems is to be successful, it must be accepted and acted upon by everyone from the far right to the far left. If no such solution is possible, then our problems have no solution, and it is time to stop wasting energy, to blame the other guy and prepare for the end.

76531Z Circles
by Albrecht 27 Dec '12

27 Dec '12

Hi, I?m back again amd taking over. First a BIG Thank You! to Hal for his wonderful way of presenting the Multifractal_10 Images. Guess I have to improve to keep his standards. All images presented in the next days are new and created for this purpose. "Circles" shoes the Many Mods formula which is well known to all regular viewers with one big exception: This one uses the Newton Formula for outer structures, I haven?t seen anything like it myself and it forms a beautiful image. The reason is: This image is border defined, Newton is used as main shape. Three freely designed borders are used by Multifractal_10: outside-shape, inside 1 and 2, inside 2 and 3. The sequence of formulas used is: Newton-phoenix-manymods-bees-secant. Another thing is unique: Every second circle consists of fractal miniatures ready to explore!! The next presentation will show one of them. Here?s Hal?s link to the image: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/76531Z.GIF ; ----------------start par------------------------------------------------- 76531z { ; Circles ; time 0.17.38.19 1600/1200 ;

FOTD 21-12-12 (DOOMSDAY!!!! [No Rating])
by Jim Muth 22 Dec '12

22 Dec '12

FOTD -- December 21, 2012 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: It's come! It's the end of the world! This is it! There's no tomorrow! Today is doomsday! Armageddon! The Apocalypse! Nostradamus was right! All this doom rolled into one! . . . . . . etc. . . . Ah nuts! The hour has passed. It was all a media scare tactic. What a disappointment! I have seen nothing happen that could be considered out of the ordinary in even the slightest degree, except that darkness seems to be falling unusually early lately. I believe the precise moment of doom was 11:11am EST, or 16:11pm GMT. But that time has come and gone, and the world is still here. The apocalypse was a flop. The Mayans were wrong. So let's move on to the fractals. In today's image the strange rectangle has totally vanished as predicted. Only a few traces of yellow mark the spot where it was last seen. Actually, the rectangle still exists in its full glory -- elsewhere. It is we who have changed our view of it and moved on. The name explains itself. If I had rated the image, it would have had the lowest rating in FOTD history -- most likely a 2. Luckily, the image is very fast. It finishes in only 30 seconds. The finished image is posted at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> Hi-def variations are at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The back images are at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> The parameter file for a second image is included with this FOTD. The name "One from Doomsday" shows the spirit of the departed rectangle happily floating through the ethers of whereever good fractals go when they die. Those who do not believe in spirits may bypass this second image. The day began wet and windy, with a temperature of 50F 10C. The rain ended during the morning, but the clouds remained and the temperature dropped fast in the afternoon, reaching freezing by 4pm. A few flurries of snow fell later in the day, though the ground remained only wet. The fractal cat passed the day watching the world go by; the humans spent the day thinking of the holidays. The next FOTD will be posted in around six days, around December 27. There is simply too much to do here at FC to keep the FOTD going uninterrupted through the holidays. Until whenever, take care, and the next doomsday (fiscal cliff) is only ten days off.

FOTD 20-12-12 (One to Doomsday [No Rating])
by Jim Muth 22 Dec '12

22 Dec '12

FOTD -- December 20, 2012 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: It's the day before the end of days here at Fractal Central, and nothing has happened so far. Our poor strange curious little rectangle has not been so lucky however. Very little of it is left in today's image. What *is* left appears as the mostly obscured yellow stuff near the center of the frame. Tomorrow will be the actual day of doom -- time to close the rectangular book. The rectangle will be gone and the remains won't make much of an image, but it's kind of hard to make a good picture of something that is not there. So say goodbye to the rectangle as you are saying goodbye to the rest of the world. With so little time left, the very brief 45-second calculation will seem to finish almost instantly. The finished image is posted online at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> Hi-def variations are at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> Back images are at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Clouds arrived just before sunrise here at Fractal Central today and thickened throughout the day, while the temperature hovered around 43F +6C. The approaching rain arrived at sunset. The fractal cat had a peaceful day; the humans' day was not quite as peaceful. Unless the end arrives sooner than expected, the next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. If the predicted end fails to arrive (as I expect it will) the next FOTD after tomorrow's will be posted on December 27, one week from today, after a hiatus of 5 days. Until whenever, take care, and once again, we have met the enemy and found they is us.

Albrecht Niekamp's "Strange Beauty" 1536705 (2012-12-21)
by Hal Lane 22 Dec '12

22 Dec '12

While Albrecht Niekamp is on vacation and away from a computer, he has asked me to put some of his images onto my server. I did not post a fractal for 2012-12-20. Here is a link to Albrecht's fractal "Strange Beauty" created using his multifractal_10 formula: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/1536705.GIF Click the image in your browser for its full size, 1600 x 1200 pixels, and to prevent its being resampled by your browser. Albrecht's fractal "Strange Beauty" seems somehow 'royally' sinister to me. It has many very sharp, perhaps dangerous, features. Further, the spikes that don't sharpen to a point, but travel to other areas to merge with other features, split into three grasping "arms" that remind me of an actual animal, a type of tapeworm: http://carlzimmer.com/books/imgs/photo_03_big.gif A strangely beautiful fractal, but a very scary fractal! I've previously posted some variations I did on the Strange Beauty fractal. The version of color map used in the following images is a colorful, rather than royal, map -- previously posted by Albrecht: "Here are some zooms into Albrecht's Strange Beauty fractal that uses his Multifractal_10 formula. The fractal has quite a bit of nifty, colorful variety in it. All 640 x 480 non-anti-aliased. They're arranged in increasing zoom depth, with the 2nd and later fractals each a zoom into the previous one: Albrecht's original Strange Beauty fractal: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/STRNGBUT.GIF And zooms into it: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/STRNGBU2.GIF http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/STRNGBU3.GIF http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/STRNGBU4.GIF http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/STRNGBU5.GIF http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/STRNGBU6.GIF http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/STRNGBU7.GIF http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/STRNGBU8.GIF Has numerical loss of precision: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/STRNGBU9.GIF Has extreme numerical loss of precision: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/STRNGB10.GIF The parent fractal: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/STRNGBUP.GIF And a zoom into the parent: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/STRNGB11.GIF " Paul N. Lee also posted renders of some variations on this fractal using par files Albrecht previously posted: "1536704e { ; Inside_View 1536705 { ; Strange_Beauty 1536705d { ; The_Big_Ball You may find a 1024 x 768 image version of the above PARs uploaded to the following: http://www.nahee.com/Stuff/Albrecht_1536704e.GIF http://www.nahee.com/Stuff/Albrecht_1536705.GIF http://www.nahee.com/Stuff/Albrecht_1536705d.GIF " Here's "Strange Beauty's" color map: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/1536705_map.jpg It has the four 'royal' colors in gradual shades from dark to light and back to dark again. This one starts with the color gold. This type of map allows fractals with the correct patterns in them to have smoothly-shaded three- dimensional metallic features.

DOS Fractint "Restore" file list omits latest images
by Hal Lane 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

Does anyone know if the silent omitting of files from the "Restore" file list (see behavior below) is the result of a "compiled in" limitation in DOS Fractint or a memory limitation in the WinXP DOS environment? When I recently tried to "Restore" an image in my DOS Fractint Ver 20.04.4 under WinXP SP3, I discovered that I couldn't see the last few fractals that it had calculated in the directory listing of .gif images able to be Restored. The files were really there, and could be listed and viewed by other software -- but were just not presented in the Fractint "Restore" command's file list. I noted that I had 5 thousand and some-odd files in the /Fractint/ directory, and on a whim, moved 600 of my older images to a new folder. Lo and behold, the latest images appeared in the "Restore" command's file list! Any observations on this behavior would be appreciated. Fractint Developers, would you be kind enough to address any replies to the Fractint email list serve? Thanks! - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ########################

Albrecht Niekamp's "Mandscape2" 20227MA (2012-12-19)
by Hal Lane 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

While Albrecht Niekamp is on vacation and away from a computer, he has asked me to put some of his images onto my server. Here is a link to Albrecht's fractal "Mandscape2" created using his multifractal_10 formula: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/20227MA.GIF Click the image in your browser for its full size, 1600 x 1200 pixels, and to prevent its being resampled by your browser. In Albrecht's fractal parameter set he has a note: "asymmetrical inside." It does appear at first glance that the main features along the X-axis are symmetrical about the Y-axis, but closer inspection reveals that this is not so. The features along the X-axis are set in an electric, icy blue background appropriate for the current season in mid-to-high northern latitudes. I was tempted to cut Albrecht's fractal in half down the centerline and make an animated .GIF of the two superimposed halves repeatedly alternating in the image, so the differences between them would jump out at you, but, unfortunately, I don't have the time to do it right now. If someone reminds me next year, I'll try doing it then. In Albrecht's fractal "Mandscape2," the color map: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/20227MA_map.jpg again has four colors in gradual shades from dark to light, but of four colors different from the color maps of the last few fractals I've posted for Albrecht. The Fractint parameter set is below.
