FOTD -- May 03, 2004 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image returns us to yesterday's basic formula, but reduces the escape radius to 20, which causes the parent fractal to become far more dense. The scene is located on the shoreline of a double bud. I named the picture "Hairy Tarantula" because that's what it reminds me of. The rating of a 7 indicates that I am rather pleased with the image. The render time of just under 6 minutes brings the speed of the image within reason. And if all else fails, the completed image file may be down- loaded from the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A fine but chilly spring day on Monday here at Fractal Central was interrupted by a brief sprinkle in the afternoon. The fractal cats managed enough outdoor time between the raindrops to satisfy their lust for adventure. Today is starting sunny but cold. Hopefully, it will likely be warm enough by afternoon to give the cats an enjoyable romp in the yard. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and don't get bitten.
