FOTD 19-06-12 (Creature from the Pit [8.5])
by Jim Muth 19 Jun '12

19 Jun '12

FOTD -- June 19, 2012 (Rating 8.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Yesterday's image is part of a Julia set. Today's image shows the same scene sliced at a slightly different angle, so it is not a pure Julia set. The angular difference amounts to a mere -0.02,+0.02 degrees of arc, but what a change this tiny offset produces. Instead of a shield surrounded by a ring of trees, we have some kind of blobby creature from deep in an unpleasant pit, which is probably bubbling as it releases foul underground vapors. A few remnants of yesterday's trees are still visible around the edges of the creature, but the intact ring of trees is gone. I named the image as I saw it -- "Creature from the Pit". The rating of an 8.5 does not imply that I prefer bubbling pits or blobs to lush forests. It merely states that I consider today's image to be a small improvement over yesterday's. And I did work on yesterday's colors. The calculation time of 50 seconds will pass in a flash, though the duration of fractal flashes is quite vague, and can vary from the infinitesimal duration of some sub-atomic resonance particles to the duration of the energy flash of the 'big-bang', which is still detectable even after 13.7-billion years. Luckily, all this flashiness may be avoided by viewing the image on the web sites. Check the finished image on the official FOTD, (and cross-scan), web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> And check it in outstandingly clear high definition at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> All the back images are available at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Today, like yesterday, began with a brief rain shower that left clouds to spoil the rest of the morning. But unlike yesterday, the sun broke through at midday, leading to a muggy afternoon with a temperature of 82F 28C. The fractal cats paid little attention to the weather as they went about their daily routine of sleeping, playing, and asking for food. Meanwhile, the humans went about their everyday work routine without sleeping or playing. The next FOTD will appear whenever it does. Twenty-four hours is the best bet. Until whenever, take care, and even with a billion people carrying cell-phone cameras, I'm still waiting for someone to take a clear photograph of an alien space ship.

FOTD 18-06-12 (Shield of the Woods [8])
by Jim Muth 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

FOTD -- June 18, 2012 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The parent fractal of today's image is a Mandelbrot set rather heavily infested with Z^(1.5) energies. The infestation has caused the main spike to be largely swallowed up into a higher dimension and the large minibrot to squeeze down into a kind of 'pac-man' shape. Today's image is a Julia set of the blunt valley that serves as pac-man's throat. I named the image "Shield of the Woods" because of the forest of trees that appears to surround the central shield. The rating of an 8 includes a half point coloring bonus, which might or might not have been earned. The tree-like features in today's image are quite common in the Julia sets of certain types of valleys in Mandeloids of fractional values. For a brief time I considered subtracting a point from the rating because of the familiarity of these fractal trees, but then I decided the image was attractive enough to honestly rate the 8. There is no debate however about the calculation time. At a brief 40 seconds, the time will pass before impatience can even be thought about. See the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> A high-definition version is online at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> All the images are at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> An early morning shower ended by 9am but left heavy clouds overhead for the rest of the day. The clouds held the temperature to a chilly 70F 21C and depressed the fractal cats, who slept through a good part of the day, taking a break only to explore the latest arrangement of their cubes. The humans had a typical day, except for a minor squabble over a negative political ad. The next FOTD will be posted soon; nothing more definite is promised. Until whenever, take care, and I'm still waiting for the candidates to explain why they should be elected instead of why the other guys should not.

Re: [Fractint] XFRACTINT

. I just got my new Linux system up and running, internet and all. It is the Mint distro. (My first choice was SUSE but I couldn't figure out how to get internet setup so it was "useless"). Now I fiddled with Xfractint years ago and was less than totally impressed. Has it been improved recently? Anyone here have experience with it and can give me some feedback? I wonder if it will have better performance in Linux then DOS fractint under DOS/Windoze. And I cant find it online!? Where is the current version for download? .

FOTD 17-06-12 (Broken Seven [7.5])
by Jim Muth 17 Jun '12

17 Jun '12

FOTD -- June 17, 2012 (Rating 7.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: There is no FOTD for June 16. The reason is the usual. An antiquing expedition erupted on the 16th, which left no time for fractaling. Today's image is a rather quick one. It's not great, but still worth the measly 35 seconds required to calculate it. The scene lies in the same area of the same Julibrot that gave us the image for June 15. I named the image "Broken Seven" because it reminds me of the roman numeral 'VII' with the two I's misplaced horizontally below the 'V'. Most of the effect is created by the coloring, which I did almost automatically, making the orangish 'V' and I's stand out prominently against the dark blue background. They stand out well enough, but the very basic neophyte-level palette holds down the rating. Those whose curiosity is aroused but find calculation too much of a chore can check the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> The high definition rendering is at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> All the past images are online at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Mostly sunny skies and a temperature of 79F 26C made today a near perfect Fathers' Day here at Fractal Central, where there are no fathers. The fractal cats, who couldn't care less about fatherhood, had a good time demolishing the cube complex we set up for them. Meanwhile, the humans had a good time doing nothing. The next FOTD will be posted in the near future. Until whenever, take care, and if what you are trying has not worked, keep trying anyway.

FOTD 15-06-12 (No Rectangles [7])
by Jim Muth 15 Jun '12

15 Jun '12

FOTD -- June 15, 2012 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: In yesterday's FOTD I wondered whether the Julia aspect of the image held rectangles. Since then, my curiosity has gotten the better of me. To satisfy the curiosity, I calculated the Julia aspect and, as the name of today's image implies, found no rectangles. I did find the same basic large shape however, plus lots of other unexpected smaller shapes, only a few of which appear in today's image. An outzoom or two will reveal many more of these unexpected shapes. The most obvious shapes in the image are the two scalloped-edged squares that appear ready to merge. A very slight change in the real(c) parameter (real(p4)) will either merge them or move them farther apart. The rating of a 7 indicates that I consider the image only adequate. More work on the color could have made an improvement. The name "No Rectangles" obviously indicates that I found no rectangles. The calculation time of only one brief minute will try the patience of no one. The finished image is online at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> A high-definition rendering is at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> All the images are posted at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> A mix of sun and clouds, low humidity, gentle breezes and a temperature of 81F 27C made the day delightful here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats' thrill came when we put out their cat cubes and let them have their fun. Other than the cats' fun, little of note happened in the humans' world. The next FOTD will be posted in a number of hours. Until whenever, take care, and is it the Tea-Party's fault or the Progressives' fault?

As the image shows, the main spike of the M-set takes on the infinitely divided characteristics of the spike of the Z^(2.003) Mandeloid, including the two large minibrots joined at the hip. I have not yet checked the Julia aspect of this area to see if the mysterious rectangle is there, though I would not be very surprised to find it. The name "Railroad Territory" refers to the features around the edges that resemble the branching tracks in a switching yard. The rating of a 7-1/2 is beginning to become boring, but I must call 'em as I see 'em. In most cases, the calculation time of 2 minutes will be bearable. In those cases where it is not, I recommend viewing the image on one of the web sites. The finished image is posted on the 'official' FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> A rendering in glorious high-definition is posted on Hal's site at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> Multiply your pleasure thousands of times by checking the classic FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> where all the past images are posted. A mix of sun and clouds, and a seasonable temperature of 79F 26C made today a winner here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats slept through most of the day, but came alive when meal time arrived. The humans had another typical unremarkable day. The next FOTD is due before long. If all goes well, it will be ready on time. Until whenever, take care, and if you find comfort in a material world that makes common sense, don't watch the latest 'science' shows on the 'science' channels.

FOTD 13-06-12 (Brother of Shadows [7.5])
by Jim Muth 14 Jun '12

14 Jun '12

FOTD -- June 13, 2012 (Rating 7.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Those who checked the parent fractal of yesterday's image, which I said resembles 'pac-man', might have been surprised when they found an everyday Mandelbrot set instead. But do not despair. The pac-man figure really exists. It is the large minibrot on the main stem of the full Mandelbrot-set parent. As for today's image, it is another scene in a Mandelbrot set corrupted in its depths by Z^(3.5) energies, though in today's case the corruption is deeper and better hidden. The scene of today's action is very deep in the East Valley of the parent fractal, at a magnitude of over 6*(10^13). At this magnitude we are at the absolute extremity of resolution, and the first traces of breakdown are already beginning to appear along the band edges, which makes the mathtolerance entry in the parameter file necessary. The elements surrounding the central minibrot, which is of order 3.5, are arranged in a doubling 3.5...7...14... series, though except for the very prominent 7 spirals, the orderliness is quite subtle. The necessary discontinuities are also unusually subtle, since they are mixed with Z^2 energies. The only obvious one is in the upper right quadrant of the image. The name "Brother of Shadows" sounds more important than it is. The words popped into my head when I shut off my thinking. The calculation time of 3-1/2 minutes could lead to some impatience, so if impatience rears its head, check the FOTD web sites. The finished image is available at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> A high-definition rendering is at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The back images are posted at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Yesterday's rain moved out overnight here at Fractal Central, leading to a sunny and breezy day with a temperature of 72F 22C and a kodachrome blue sky decorated with cotton-puff clouds. The fractal cats, who approved of the conditions, came out of hot-weather stretch-out mode and entered cold-weather curl-up mode. The humans, who are always in the same mode regardless of the temperature, made it through the day uneventfully. The next FOTD will be posted in a measurable time. Until then, take care, and to make a real change, try something different.

a perfection in four level.

3 sos and zero error been emmited by fractint thru color. Personaly in my human behavior i do not do much error. Usually talkative but if their is one thing : i got a difficult to maintain temper in my personal computer cell. I do effort but my intimacy shrink to this level let me on a cranky mood. This formula frame is close from fractint perfection and deserve to be respected has so. I'am really proud to have the chance to evolve with it and i will do a human effort in order to... understand it clearly. Thank's Hallan for the human presence and the mathematics sense in introduce to it. The day here at fractal cell had been a suffocating one, humidity 100% and hot!!! Me the northern man who love cold time and mosquito just did'nt feel at my place. Spend the whole day turning around and sweating in my coutch. Since my desktop is on i much appreciated to watch my personal mathematical achievement sipping a little fractal bear.... meditating about the next math development. After time the individual just feel overdeveloped and only fractal come into my mind, pov_ray feel silence. Probably i will goto wolfram seminar or simply redoing a pov_ray chain courses plus a few l_system, the medication to have more structural idea is far from being simple... idea. My plastic rat haven't move alone and i haven't set my robot rat to on. My plastic ventilator flower is still a little buzzing but the wind is not strong enough to freshen my idea. have a good fractal day and take care someone is watching you.
