FOTD 08-10-13 (Formal Attire [A-7,M-5])
by Jim Muth 08 Oct '13

08 Oct '13

FOTD -- October 08, 2013 (Rating A-7,M-5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: While yesterday's image examined the east side of the valley separating the two main bays of the parent Mandeloid, today's image examines the west side. Unlike the east side, the west side of the valley has googols of islands just offshore, and today's scene lies deep in one of these islands. Everything in the area is quite skeletal in nature, a fact that is plainly obvious in today's image. The art rating of a 7 might have been a point higher if I had found a more harmonious color palette or had tried other outside and inside fills. The math rating of this series of images will remain at an average 5 unless I find something really unusual in one of the 3 critical Mandeloids of the parent Julibrot. The name "Formal Attire" came about when I noticed the bow-tie shaped elements in the upper left and lower right corners of the frame. The calculation time of 7-1/2 minutes is just about the time it would take to fight into formal dress, (at least for a man). So avoid the battle by viewing the finished image on the web sites. Relief from the dressing up battle is available at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> <http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/about.html> Perfect weather prevailed all day here at Fractal Central, with crystal blue skies decorated by cotton puff cumulus and angel hair cirrus clouds. The near-average temperature of 66F 19C pleased the fractal cat greatly, while the fractal humans were too busy to be pleased very much. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours, probably more, not likely less. Until that exceptional time arrives, take care, and a four-dimensional planet would have two independent rotation times, so how long would a day be and would any two days be the same?

FOTD 07-10-13 (Adam and Eve [A-8,M-5])
by Jim Muth 08 Oct '13

08 Oct '13

FOTD -- October 07, 2013 (Rating A-8,M-5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The question might arise as to why I named today's image "Adam and Eve". The answer is simple. While searching for a name, I noticed four 'fig leaves' in the corners of the image -- one leaf for Adam and three for Eve. (Don't ask for details.) The name then came automatically. The generating formula is the same one that I have used for the past week or so, which mixes various portions of Z, Z^3, 1/Z and Z^2. Today's parent Mandeloid is the one that results when Z is initialized to the critical point at 0.098... This parent resembles two partially critical M-sets sitting butt to butt with a very prominent valley separating the two main bays. Today's scene lies on the eastern edge of the northern branch of this valley. The western edge, which I will check in tomorrow's FOTD, holds entirely different sub-features. The artistic worth of 8 is mostly due to the coloring. Rendering the scene with the inside set to 'fmod' produced the smoothly curved elements that have been colored. The math value of 5 indicates that the math trick has lost all impact. This rating will remain until we move on to a new julibrot. The image calculates in 1-1/2 minutes on most all modern machines, but calculation is still a bit of a chore. So to make life easier, check the finished images at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> <http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/about.html> Today began cloudy here at Fractal Central. Rain arrived in a sudden heavy squall just before noon with a 40mph 60kph wind, and continued lighter into the afternoon. The temperature fell from 75F 24C late in the morning to 59F 15C at post time, and it is still dropping. The fractal cat slept through most of the heavy rain, but became active when a flap arose among the local pigeons. We humans made it through the day without incident, as we have done on countless previous days. The next FOTD will be created and posted within a reasonable time. Until reason prevails, take care, and some big questions have no simple answers.

FOTD 06-10-13 (The Full Range [A-7,M-6])
by Jim Muth 06 Oct '13

06 Oct '13

FOTD -- October 06, 2013 (Rating A-7,M-6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's scene lies in a bit of debris in the center of the eastern main bay of the parent fractal. Most of the effect was achieved by rendering the scene with the inside set to 'fmod' and the outside set to 'tdis'. Since the parent Julibrot's three critical values have been investigated on the FOTD for over a week now, the rating is beginning to suffer. But I am currently quite interested in the formula, and will therefore continue checking it for a while longer. The name "The Full Range" is whimsical, as are a good number of the names artists give to their works. The calculation time of 30 seconds is no joke. The image really will finish in this brief time. And for those pressed for time or saddled with over-qualified computers, the web sites are there to ease the stress. Check the finished image posted at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> <http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/about.html> A mix of clouds and sun, some humidity and a temperature of 82F 28C made the day more like summer than autumn here at Fractal Central. The fractal cat thought so when he rejected his spot under the chair cover to stretch out on the floor. The humans had a rather busy but pleasant day doing human diversions. The next FOTD will be posted whenever it is. Until that unknown time arrives, take care and how can we complain about our representatives when we ourselves elected them?

FOTD 03-10-13 (Two Hidden Minibrots [A-8,M-7])
by Jim Muth 04 Oct '13

04 Oct '13

FOTD -- October 03, 2013 (Rating A-8,M-7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's scene lies in the same Julibrot we have been working with for the past several days. This time we check the critical Mandeloid that results when Z is initialized to -0.105... The parent fractal is a Mandeloid with two main bays. Today's scene lies in a bit of debris inside the smaller eastern bay. The scene's 50-50 background consists of 'fmod' inside fill. The only outside things in the image are the floating bits and pieces scattered about in the foreground. I named the image "Two Hidden Minibrots". The two minibrots lie near the left edge of the scene and are colored a brilliant white, which does little to obscure them. The art rating of an 8 shows that I rather enjoy the image. The math rating of a 7 is helped by the artistic value. Unfortunately, the calculation time of 11-3/4 minutes cannot be reduced by running the parameter file with the passes set to 'G'. Doing so would cut the time by more than half, but it would also miss many of the smaller 'outside' islands. It is in cases like this where the web sites shine. Get happy. Enjoy the fractal splendor at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> <http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/about.html> A foggy start followed by a mix of sun and clouds with a temperature of 79F 26C made today near ideal here at Fractal Central. When the much hated tomcat from up the street went parading by, the fractal cat issued a challenge . . . from the safety of his window. The humans were given their challenge by the work load. The next FOTD will be posted sometime in the foreseeable future, most likely sooner than later. Until whenever, take care, and would the next doomsday prophet please stand up to be counted.

FOTD 01-10-13 (Holy Molars [A-8,M-6])
by Jim Muth 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

FOTD -- October 01, 2013 (Rating A-8,M-6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today we move to the second critical initial value of Z of the formula that produced yesterday's image. This new value is -0.105... and the parent fractal it produces appears much like yesterday's parent. Today we check a tiny island in the eastern main bay, which is a result of the 0.01 part of Z^(-1) in the formula. When this speck is blown up it is seen to be a series of small islands surrounded by clusters of even smaller islands. Today's scene lies in one of these smaller clusters. I rated the art aspect of the image at an 8, which is mostly due to the coloring. The math aspect remains a humdrum 6. The name "Holy Molars" came to mind when the eight bluish-grey elements surrounding the minibrot reminded me of a ring of teeth. It is also close to what one of my favorite childhood comic cartoon characters exclaimed when he saw an emergency that needed fixing. The calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes is about the right price for the image. The image is available at a lower price on the web sites. The web sites are at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> <http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/about.html> A mix of sun and clouds with a temperature of 73F 23C made the day one more in a string of similar days here at Fractal Central. The fractal cat slept through much of the day, but came alive when a pack of pigeons descended in the back yard. The humans, who enjoy pigeons up to a point, had more important things to do. The next FOTD will most likely be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and the world just ended again but I didn't notice it.
