[Fractint] FOTD 10-07-04 (Iterative Insanity [5])

10 Jul 2004

      FOTD -- July 10, 2004 (Rating 5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image is pure insanity.  Never have I seen such a motley 
collection of fractal possibilities with so little organization. 
There are diamonds, spirals, shapeless fragments, and almost any-
thing one could imagine scattered through the image.  The name 
"Iterative Insanity" seems quite appropriate for such chaos.

The parent fractal is the same Z^1.26+C Mandeloid of the past 
two FOTD's.  To find today's image I went to the north branch of 
the most prominent valley of the parent, and dove down to a 
magnitude of a modest 1800.  The 47-minute render time is a 
result of the unusually high iteration count of the elements of 
the image.

Unable to decide whether I liked the image, I rated it at an 
average 5, which gives an overall value of 11 when adjusted for 
the render time.  The most convenient way to see the scene is to 
download the finished GIF image from the FOTD web site at:

Near perfect weather both Thursday and Friday made for contented 
cats.  With a repeat forecast for today, I expect more content-
ment.  I also expect to be working most of the day.  So until 
next FOTD, take care, and when you have taken enough care, stop 
to have a little fun.
