FOTD -- September 10, 2005 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image subtracts 10 parts of Z^(-0.4) from Z and adds (1/C). The resulting parent fractal is a Mandelbrot set distor- ted into a hyperbola. The scene is located on the shoreline of this hyperbola. The special effects were achieved by rendering the scene with the outside set to 'atan'. Since I put almost no effort into the image, I gave it no name or rating. The render time of 22 minutes is a bit dragging. The most efficient way of viewing the image is to visit the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and download the completed GIF image from there. The philosophy appears in the philofractal version of this discussion. Only some haze and a few clouds kept the day from being absolute- ly perfect here at Fractal Central on Friday. The fractal cats were angelic. Today is starting the same but with light fog. I expect good things from the duo. For me the work is minimal, which should give lots of time to ponder my philosophy. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and what would it mean if nothing but nothing really were real?
