[Fractint] FOTD 10-05-06 (FOTD for 10-05-06 [No Rating])

      FOTD -- May 10, 2006 (No Rating)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

The magnitude of today's image, over 1.3*(10^14), might be the 
greatest I have ever squeezed from the conventional math rou-
tine.  The breakdown of precision is only barely visible along 
the sharpest boundaries.

Yesterday's image featured a parade of half-elephants.  In 
today's image we search very deep into one of those trunks, 
where we find a midget.  Actually, the midget itself lies beyond 
resolution at the center, but its pattern is quite striking.

I have given the image neither name nor rating.  But this does 
not mean it is a total loser image.  In fact, under normal 
circumstances I would have rated it around a 7 and named it 
something like 'half-trunk'.

The render time of 14-1/2 minutes will pass quickly while one is 
studying the passes=b option at work doing the rendering.  Those 
who did all the studying they desire in school may see the image 
by downloading it from the FOTD web site at:

A typical mid-spring day here at Old Fractal Central on Tuesday 
kept the fractal cats occupied in the holly thicket.  Prepara-
tions for moving and the regular work added up to keep me occu-
pied.  The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours unless something 
goes wrong.  Until then, take care, and search for the theory of 
everything.
