########################################################## Jim, There is a nice balanced overall shape to your FOTD 09-10-04 (Julia Snake). I, like you, am always on the lookout for miniature Mandelbrot sets. A couple of zooms into the center of symmetry of you FOTD and elsewhere did not bring to light anything that I thought might lead to a mini Mandelbrot set. I found more and more spirals and chaotic areas rendered at slower and slower speeds. Can you confirm that this FOTD is not likely to have any Mandelbrot sets hidden in it? <---<< I am trying to slowly build my ability to recognize areas in fractals that have potential for interesting structures in them -- and I am asking if you agree with my conjecture above. I have included a version of your FOTD using the Leather Gem color map. - Hal Lane ######################### # hallane@earthlink.net <mailto:hallane@earthlink.net> # ######################### Jim Muth's FOTD Oct 9, '04 with Damascena Korwen's Leather Gem color map (rotated): START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Julia_Snake2 { ; Hal Lane Oct 09,'04 1:32 P400 1024x768 ; Jim Muth's FOTD Oct 9, '04 with ; Damascena Korwen's Leather Gem ; color map (rotated). reset=2003 type=cmplxmarksjul passes=1 center-mag=-4.44089e-016/4.44089e-016/0.9991767/1/-4\ 0/-2.50563458870090017e-014 params=-0.781/0/0.95/0 float=y maxiter=3000 bailout=9 inside=0 logmap=yes periodicity=10 sound=off colors=YD0I10<14>TA2TA2UB2UB2VC2<3>YE3<3>Q82O61M41<3\

FOTD -- October 09, 2004 (Rating 5)
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
Today's fractal was created with the cmplxmarksjul formula of Fractint, a formula that draws variations of the standard Z^2+C Julia sets. Today's image is a variation of the very familiar Seahorse Valley or C=(-0.75) Julia set.
When the exponent of C is a whole number, the cmplxmarksjul formula creates images resembling those created by the familiar Julia formula, though the size of the Julia sets increases as the value of the exponent is increased. When the exponent is fractional, the overall shape of the cmplxmarksjul fractals departs in certain areas quite a bit from the shape of the fractals created by the familiar Julia formula, though the smaller inner detail remains unchanged. As is the case with all the formulas I rarely investigate, I have probably missed the most interesting possibilities of the formula.
Continuing the biblical theme of yesterday, I have named today's image "Julia Snake". I gave it this name not because there is something evil about it, but because something about it reminds me of a squirming snake. Snakes are still not the most pleasant things on earth, so I could rate the image no higher than a 5, but the very brief render time of 54 seconds raises the rating to a lofty overall value of 556.
Tomorrow's image will be a scene in the Mandelbrot aspect of the same formula. Hopefully, I will find something that rates higher than a 5.
As I stated above, today's image takes 54 seconds to render. It also takes about 54 seconds to download from the FOTD web site at:
<http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
The means of viewing the image is left to the viewer.
Perfect weather Friday, with sun and a temperature of 77F 25C, made the cats happy. Unfortunately, it did not make Tippy happy enough to make friends with the new cat in the area. When the new guy ventured into the yard, Tippy sent him scurrying. Then Tippy returned to the porch to be greeted by Thomas.
I expect a rather peaceful day for a change. And peace is what I need to inspire me to find those elusive great fractals. One of them might appear tomorrow, then again, it might not. Check back in 24 hours to see what happens. Until next time, take care, and remain alert for those angels.
