[Fractint] FOTD 03-07-04 (Fourth Dimension [5])

3 Jul 2004

      FOTD -- July 03, 2004 (Rating 5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image takes us into the fourth dimension of space, an 
abstract world where time is the fifth dimension.  We should not 
be too shocked by a fourth spatial dimension.  According to the 
latest theories, our apparently three-dimensional world really 
has 11 dimensions, and maybe as many as 26.

It's too bad that we can fit only two of these dimensions onto 
our screens, but take heart.  Two dimensions are infinitely 
better than none.

The scene is located on a filament on the east side of the large 
midget on the negative X-axis of the Mandelbrot set.  A midget 
lies at the center of the image, though when viewed from this 
angle, it has been reduced to no more than a thin slit.

To add a little extra life to the scene, I rendered it with the 
outside set to 'real'.  I named the image "Fourth Dimension" 
because, with so much work in front of me, I did not want to 
take time to think of a better name.

The rating of a 5 is perfectly average.  The render time of 43 
seconds is unusually fast however, and raises the overall value 
to an impressive 694.

But a download of the completed image is still the simplest way 
to view the scene.  The download may be found on the FOTD web 
site at:

With a temperature of 90F 32C, Friday was a bit too warm for the 
dynamic duo, who spent the afternoon in the deepest shade they 
could find.  When evening came, they returned inside without 
complaint.  Today looks like a repeat, which will be no problem 
for the cats.  With another load of work to tackle, I'll have a 
repeat also.  Until next FOTD in a day or two, take care, and be 
kind to homeless fractals.
