FOTD 08-05-05 (Scene in a Fractal [7])
by Jim Muth 08 May '05

08 May '05

FOTD -- May 08, 2005 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is named "Scene in a Fractal". The fractal is the Z^(1.5)+C Mandeloid as it exists 1 level up the complex-log hyperspiral. The scene is located deep in the East Valley of a midget that lies on what passes for the main stem of the fractal, in an area where the patterns around midgets resemble slices of human brains. Actually, the 'main stem' is more of a zig-zagging filament that a main negative stem, and the midgets that lie on it are not easy to find. A sub-midget obviously lies at the center of today's image, though I have not yet ventured down there to glimpse it. The brilliant coloring is an accident that happened as I struck the 'enter' key, which produces a new random color palette at every strike. The rating of a 7 seems appropriate for such a brilliant image. In contrast to yesterday's dawdling image, today's renders in only 9 minutes. The finished product is always available on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Saturday was quite a pleasant day here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats made the most of the situation. They were in the yard from before noon until evening. Today is again starting pleasant but the wind is up. Things look marginal for the duo. For me the day looks peaceful; how the fractals turn out remains to be seen. Until 24 hours have passed, and tomorrow's FOTD appears, take care, and where did it all come from?

FOTD 07-05-05 (Comets and Circles [7])
by Jim Muth 07 May '05

07 May '05

FOTD -- May 07, 2005 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's annoyingly slow image is a scene deep in the half-moon that appeared in the 'Lunahalf' image 2 days ago. In the original image, the detail inside the circle became obscured when the logmap spread out the iteration bands there. In today's image, the logmap has been turned off and the rendering done with the outside set to 'tdis'. The result is a rather gloomy scene filled with ferns and highlighted by colorful circles and comets. The 'comets' and 'circles' are unusual enough to give the image a rating of a 7. The name "Comets and Circles" describes the colorful objects scattered through the image. The render time of one hour and 40 minutes is very slow. I strongly recommend downloading the already-rendered image from the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> The sky stayed cloudy all day here at Fractal Central on Friday, but the rain stayed east of us, and even though the temperature reached only 54F 12C, the cats managed a reasonably good 2 hours in the holly thicket. They did ask for a bit of tuna in the evening however. Today is starting partly cloudy. The cats' day should be better. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and who is right?

FOTD 06-05-05 (An Extra Fractal [7])
by Jim Muth 06 May '05

06 May '05

FOTD -- May 06, 2005 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a blow-up of the Mandeloid midget in the lower left corner of yesterday's half-moon image. I have named it "An Extra Fractal" because it is the second image from the same scene. I decided on the rating of a 7 because of the effect of a three-dimensional thicket of tropical vegetation. The render time of 11-1/2 minutes is a bit slow, but still within reason. And as always, the already-rendered image can be accessed on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A fine spring day on Thursday, with a high temperature of 64F 18C, gave the fractal cats a long afternoon in the yard. When evening came, they settled down without asking for their usual tuna. Today is starting cloudy with rain not far to the east. It looks like a questionable day for the duo. The next fractal will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and look for the light.

FOTD 05-05-05 (Lunahalf [5])
by Jim Muth 05 May '05

05 May '05

FOTD -- May 05, 2005 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's scene is again located in the Z^(1.5)+C Mandeloid, this time 100 levels up the logarithmic spiral. It is one of the more unusual fractals I have yet come upon, though not necessar- ily one of the more artistic. The name "Lunahalf" refers to the prominent half-filled circle near the right edge of the frame, which resembles a half moon. There are also several Mandeloid midgets scattered through the rest of the scene. The rating of a 5 is average; the render time on my unit of 36 minutes is slow. But the pre-rendered image will soon be avail- able on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Wednesday turned out slightly cloudy and slightly chilly here at Fractal Central, but the fractal cats were determined to have a good day, which is exactly what they did. Today is starting sunnier and milder. It should be another good day. My work is moderate, and the fractals are plentiful. Until the next FOTD appears in 24 hours, take care, and see you then.

Re: [Fractint] Fractint in a Virtual PC
by nick.grasso＠nasrecruitment.com 05 May '05

Thaddaeus, Fractint works in Virtual PC for me. I am using version 5.2 which is the last Connectix version before Microsoft bought them out. I have not been able to get it to run in 1600x1200. I have not been able to find the correct settings for fractint.cfg for 1600x1200 for the video card it emulates (I think it's an S3). The other VESA modes work. The only other thing is that it's very slow. Much slower than in native DOS. But slow is better than nothing. Let me know if you have any other questions. I can send you my config.sys and autoexec.bat if you want. Nick

Fractint in a Virtual PC
by Thaddaeus Parker 05 May '05

05 May '05

I've been using Fractint on and off for the past decade or so and would like to know if anyone has ever been able to get Fractint to work either in a VMWare or Virtual PC machine. I don't really want to reinvent the wheel and all of the sites that I have surfed to have had awesome galleries, but no good directions or pointers on putting a virtual pc to work on the development of good fractals. I appreciate any good direction or response. Thaddaeus Parker

FOTD 04-05-05 (Musette Melody [7])
by Jim Muth 04 May '05

04 May '05

FOTD -- May 04, 2005 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is simply a scene in the fractal created by the formula Z^(1.5)+C. I chose it because the midget at the center is unusually interesting for one created by the exponent 1.5. It is so interesting that I rated it at a 7. The name "Musette Melody" invokes images of the green hills of Scotland, with the sound of distant bagpipes drifting on the wind. It has little to do with the appearance of the image. The 4-3/4 minute render time is fast enough for all but the most impatient fractalists, or those with Fractint-challenged machines. Those who would not or can not render will find the finished image posted on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> The weather on Tuesday here at Fractal Central was not perfect. The temperature reached only 59F 15C, the wind blew, and the sun shone only part of the time, but the fractal cats made the most of the less-than-perfect conditions, and enjoyed over three hours adventure in the holly thicket. My day was uneventful. Today promises to be a repeat. The FOTD will also be repeated in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be wise.

FOTD 30-04-05 (Electric Discharge [5])
by Jim Muth 03 May '05

03 May '05

FOTD -- April 30, 2005 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: With today's image we return to the Mystic2 formula, a formula I have not used in several years. When used in the normal manner, with the inside set to a flat color, this formula draws nothing but empty circles of radius 1. When an active inside fill is used however, such as the 'bof61' of today's image, this formula fills the empty circle with designs and patterns of the most unpredictable nature. The user-defined function included in the formula simply increases the unpredictability. I named today's image "Electric Discharge". The zig-zag white streaks, which resemble stylized lightning bolts, inspired the name. The rating of a 5 indicates that I consider the image to be an average one. The render time of just over one minute on my 10-year-old machine is fast enough for all but the most impatient. Those with one of the new-fangled Fractint- challenged computers may need to download the image from the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> When I was a child, still in my wonder years, I wondered what electricity is. Now that I am a full-fledged grown-up, I see that no one knows exactly what it is. It's energy, sure enough, and energy is the ability to do useful work, but somehow this does not seem to answer the question of what it actually *is*. Clouds and a chilly temperature of 59F 15C kept the fractal cats within dashing distance of the porch all afternoon Friday. But nothing happened to make them dash. They ended the afternoon with their noses in their food dishes. Today is starting rainy, with showers expected for most of the day. The duo will not like this. For me, it's a moderate amount of work before I can get to the fractals. Tomorrow is a new day, a new month, and a new fractal. Until then, take care, and be sensible but don't be a slave to common sense.

FOTD 03-05-05 (Hairy Tarantula [7])
by Jim Muth 03 May '05

03 May '05

FOTD -- May 03, 2004 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image returns us to yesterday's basic formula, but reduces the escape radius to 20, which causes the parent fractal to become far more dense. The scene is located on the shoreline of a double bud. I named the picture "Hairy Tarantula" because that's what it reminds me of. The rating of a 7 indicates that I am rather pleased with the image. The render time of just under 6 minutes brings the speed of the image within reason. And if all else fails, the completed image file may be down- loaded from the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A fine but chilly spring day on Monday here at Fractal Central was interrupted by a brief sprinkle in the afternoon. The fractal cats managed enough outdoor time between the raindrops to satisfy their lust for adventure. Today is starting sunny but cold. Hopefully, it will likely be warm enough by afternoon to give the cats an enjoyable romp in the yard. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and don't get bitten.
