[Fractint] FOTD 07-04-04 (Oscar [6])

      FOTD -- April 07, 2004 (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

The work is quite heavy today, so the discussion will be short.

With today's image we return again to the parent fractal of 
yesterday's image, where we search the north valley of the main-
stem midget.  This parent fractal is shaped like the Mandelbrot 
set, with the added attraction of an infinity of tiny cut-off 
dots that surround the set, each dot containing an even tinier 
M-set.  Not surprisingly, the area of the parent fractal nearest 
to where the dots are located determines the nature of the 
midgets in the dots.  Today's midget is located in a dot in the 
east branch of the north valley of the largest midget of the 
parent fractal.  The midget displays the type of detail found in 
this area, though the cut-off nature of the dot in which it lies 
is very apparent.

I named the picture "Oscar".  It is as good a name as any.  I 
rated the image at a 6, which joins with the render time of 
12-1/2 minutes to give an overall value of 48.  The rendering 
may be avoided by downloading the completed image on the FOTD 
web site at:

With warm sun and a temperature of 59F 15C to enjoy, the fractal 
cats had a far better day Tuesday.  Only a small bit of tuna was 
needed in the evening to keep their spirits up.  Today is 
starting similarly; I expect the cats will have a similar day.

For me, the work is still heavy.  But with some concerted 
effort, it can be cleared away by late afternoon.  Until next 
fractal, take care, and keep those fractals iterating.
