[Fractint] FOTD 09-11-06 (Into the Tunnel [No Rating])

8 Nov 2006

      FOTD -- November 09, 2006 (No Rating)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's curious image is of a midget in the Z^(1.1)+C Mandeloid 
as it appears 111 levels up the logarithmic ladder.  Midgets are 
hard to find in Mandeloids of such a low order, but the 'fmod' 
outside option is a lot of help.

I named today's image "Into the Tunnel".  The tunnel might well 
be the one a fractalist enters as he leaves this world.  Since 
there is supposed to be a bright light at the end of this type 
of tunnel, I colored the central midget a bright white.

I gave the image no rating.  I found too little time to give the 
coloring the attention it deserves.  As a result, there is a 
kind of muddiness that detracts from the effect of light at the 
end of the tunnel.

The render time of 6-1/2 minutes is within reason, but still a 
bit slow for the more casual fractalist.  The fastest way to see 
the tunnel is to go to the FOTD web site at:

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

and view the image there.

Morning rain gave way to afternoon clouds here at Fractal 
Central on Wednesday, while the temperature hovered around 52F 
11C.  The fractal cats had nothing to say about the conditions.  
With me, the work was still quite heavy, but I managed to find 
time for today's image.  And my bum leg is showing the first 
hints of improvement, so there may indeed be light at the end of 
the tunnel.  The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours.  Until then, 
take care, and walk serenely.
