FOTD -- December 18, 2002 (Rating 4) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Things have been quite busy recently here at F.C. The reason is the season. To save time, I have taken one more trip to the world of <fmod>, and found another image composed of all-inside stuff. This image looks rather like a flower, but not enough like a flower to give it a flowery name. The name I finally gave it -- Final FMOD -- is an admission that, though this recently discovered world of <fmod> inside fill might be infinitely complex, I lack the time at the present to give it the exploration necessary to find the great images that certainly lie therein. As a result, I shall make today's image the last in the present series of images. (And I'm also getting interested in that triternion formula Morgan recently posted.) The render time of today's image is once again in the 11-minute range, which is not surprising, considering that the past three images have consisted totally of inside fractal areas of the same formula, and were rendered with the periodicity turned off. The finished GIF image will soon be posted on Paul's web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and on Scott's site at: . . . <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html> . . . ready for download. Tuesday was chilly but sunny and calm here at F.C. The cats must have approved of the 36F 2C temperature, for they spent almost two hours in the yard. I'll need to spend a bit more time than that if I hope to end the day with an empty 'to be done' shelf. So the best time to start is now. Until next time, take care, and don't be empty inside.
