[Fractint] FOTD 24-12-09 (Pits and Bieces [6])

23 Dec 2009

      FOTD -- December 24, 2009 (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image turned out quite well considering the whopping 3 
minutes or so it took me to find it.  It turned out well enough, 
in fact, that I decided to give it a rating of a 6.

The exponent of Z in today's image is 1.77828, which just 
happens to be the 4th root of 10, not that this makes much 
difference in the appearance of the image.  The fact that the 
parent fractal was calculated 14 levels up the complex 
logarithmic hyperspiral with no function applied is far more 
significant.

Most of the effect is created by the color palette, which was 
actually created by the Fractint program with a single strike of 
the <enter> key.

The name "Pits_and_Bieces" is a slight variation of "Bits and 
Pieces", which needs no explanation.

The only thing left to mention is the very fast 65-second 
running time of the included parameter file.

The finished image is posted as always on the FOTD web site at:

Full sunshine but a brisk temperature of 25F -4C here at Fractal 
Central on Wednesday kept the fractal cats toggling between 
their window shelf and the heat source.  With me, things contin-
ued hectic.

The next FOTD is due in 24 hours, but with so much to be done on 
the day before Christmas, there is a good chance I might not 
have time to do an FOTD.  Until whenever, take care, and be 
patient.
