[Fractint] FOTD 23-01-13 (Shade of Antiquity [8])

24 Jan 2013

      FOTD -- January 23, 2013 (Rating 8)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's unusually colored image is a near-Julia scene in the 
Seahorse Valley area of the (-Z)^(2.5)+C Mandeloid.  To 
visualize the Julia set, mentally remove the highly colored 
inside stuff while retaining the outer shape, which is the Julia 
set.  To see the actual Julia set, change the real(p3) parameter 
to 0.

The thin open slit across the center of the image is a sideways 
view of the space between the two branches of Seahorse Valley.  
The angle of the slice is rotated 6 degrees from the Julia 
direction toward the Oblate direction.

The rating of an 8 is largely earned by the coloring, which was 
created effortlessly by the Fractint program.  My part was to 
tweak a few registers to make the colors blend more smoothly.

The calculation time of 3-1/2 minutes is a fair price to pay for 
the image.  (Most of the time is spent calculating the final two 
lines.)  But it is still a bother to set up and run the 
parameter file.  The web sites can eliminate any parameter-file 
set-up anxiety.

For immediate relief view the finished image at:

Some clouds, some sun, a little less wind and a still chilly 
temperature of 18F -8C made for another bone-chilling day here 
at Fractal Central today.  The fractal cat had an exciting day, 
surviving his regular trip to the doctor.  The humans had 
another in the endless string of passing days.

The next FOTD will most likely be posted in 24 hours.  Until 
whenever, take care, why can't we think four-dimensionally, when 
even an unconscious computer can do it.
