[Fractint] FOTD 10-05-03 (The Edge [5])

10 May 2003

      FOTD -- May 10, 2003 (Rating 5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Still another unusually busy day subtracts from the time devoted 
to the FOTD.

Today's image is titled "The Edge".  What is it the edge of?  It 
is a point on the right edge of the large irregular open area at 
the center of the parent fractal.  At first glance, this edge 
appears to have nothing of interest to reveal, but upon 
magnification it proves to be rich in intricate detail and 
critical as well.

Today's image is slow because most of it consists of inside 
material made visible by the < bof61 > inside fill.  But it is 
not an evaporated image.  A good part of it is real material 
rendered with the < tdis > option.

I could see nothing in the image that would rate higher than a 
5, and the relatively slow render time of 36 minutes sealed the 
image's fate.  It is merely an average image, and average it 
will remain.

The task of rendering can be avoided by downloading the 
completed image from:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

or from:

          <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>

It rained a good part of the day here at Fractal Central on 
Thursday.  The wet conditions and cool temperature of 60F 15.5C 
kept the fractal cats indoors and cranky.  Tuna was needed to 
restore their spirits.

Today is starting wet once again, so more bad moods are 
expected.  As for me, I still have much work to do, so until 
next time in 24 hours, and next fractal, take care, and have a 
good day.
