[Fractint] FOTD 17-12-03 (Too Much to Endure [8])

17 Dec 2003

      FOTD -- December 17. 2003 (Rating 4)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's low-rated image lies in the 2-part parent fractal that 
appears when one part of Z^(1.1) is subtracted from 0.3 part of 
Z^(-1.1) and (1/C) is added.  This parent consists of two large 
but distorted Mandeloids with much chaos surrounding them.  
Today's scene lies in the East Valley area of the less-distorted 
Mandeloid.

I named the image "Too Much to Endure" because of the vast 
amount of chaos in the scene.  This chaos could have been 
reduced by using a broader color palette and turning on the 
logmap, but I wanted to emphasize the chaotic nature of the 
scene, and the way the chaos mingles with order.

As so often happens, a midget lies at the center of the frame.  
It is a thoroughly average midget with little to brag about.  As 
a result, and because the disorder is excessive, I can rate the 
image no higher than a 4.  And the render time of almost 15 
minutes is excessive.  But this is the only chance you will ever 
have to see this particular midget, so take advantage of the 
opportunity while it still exists.

The 15-minute wait for the image to render may be avoided by 
downloading the completed GIF image from:

The weather was pleasant enough here at Fractal Central on 
Tuesday, with adequate sun and a temperature of 54F 12C.  The 
fractal cats enjoyed the conditions to the fullest, which at 
their advanced age is not very much.  When settle-down time 
came, they were ready to settle down without complaint.  But 
it's raining this morning.  What this means to the cats has yet 
to be determined.

As for myself, I've got a bit of work to get out of the way 
before the day ends, and the best way of doing it is to start.  
Until next FOTD, take care, and see you soon.  (In 24 hours, in 
fact.)
