[Fractint] FOTD 07-05-05 (Comets and Circles [7])

7 May 2005

      FOTD -- May 07, 2005 (Rating 7)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's annoyingly slow image is a scene deep in the half-moon 
that appeared in the 'Lunahalf' image 2 days ago.  In the 
original image, the detail inside the circle became obscured 
when the logmap spread out the iteration bands there.  In 
today's image, the logmap has been turned off and the rendering 
done with the outside set to 'tdis'.

The result is a rather gloomy scene filled with ferns and 
highlighted by colorful circles and comets.  The 'comets' and 
'circles' are unusual enough to give the image a rating of a 7.

The name "Comets and Circles" describes the colorful objects 
scattered through the image.  The render time of one hour and 40 
minutes is very slow.  I strongly recommend downloading the 
already-rendered image from the FOTD web site at:

The sky stayed cloudy all day here at Fractal Central on Friday, 
but the rain stayed east of us, and even though the temperature 
reached only 54F 12C, the cats managed a reasonably good 2 hours 
in the holly thicket.  They did ask for a bit of tuna in the 
evening however.  Today is starting partly cloudy.  The cats' 
day should be better.  The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours.  
Until then, take care, and who is right?
