FOTD -- March 27, 2005 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: It's Easter. I see a busy day looming, so I must be terse. With today's image we return to the MandelbrotMix4 formula to examine the fractal that results when various portions of Z^(-1.9) and Z^(-6.5) are combined and (1/C) is added. After only a small bit of examination, we discover today's scene, which was rendered with the outside set to 'tdis'. The resulting image reminds me of splotches of oil spreading over a metallic surface. I named it "Squishy" and rated it at a 5. The included parameter file renders in under one minute, about the same time it will take to download the completed image from the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A chilly cloudy day on Saturday limited the duo's outdoor time to under two hours. The two hours must have been enough however, for when they came inside, they seemed satisfied, and asked for no extra tuna. Today is starting cloudy and chilly again. I expect more of the same. For me, it looks like a trip to some in-laws for an Easter dinner. I don't enjoy these things but sometimes one must do it to keep everyone happy. Until next FOTD, take care, and don't eat too many eggs.
