[Fractint] FOTD 26-05-03 (Evaporation [7])

26 May 2003

      FOTD -- May 26, 2003 (Rating 7)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image, with its three-dimensional effect and its 
monochrome color palette, takes us to the a small spot of chaos 
in the center of the 'fan' feature of the mayparent fractal.  
Actually, the scene is located in a spot in a spot in a spot.  
When I zoomed into the original spot, I chose not the most 
obvious place that might hold a midget, but a less obvious 
feature off to the side.

When rendered in the normal manner, the scene is relatively 
boring, consisting of large flat areas of color, so to increase 
interest, I rendered the scene with the outside areas set to 
< fmod > and the proximity set to 10.  This choice greatly 
narrows the color palette, but adds interest to an otherwise 
humdrum image.

The picture reminds me of a thick, viscous fluid in the process 
of evaporating.  I named the image "Evaporation".  The image 
impresses me as above average.  It might not be that much above 
average, but it is different enough to warrant a rating of 7.

The render time of 12 minutes is a bit slow.  A faster way of 
seeing the image is to download it from Paul's web site at:

or from Scott's site at:

A few rays of sun broke through on Sunday here at Fractal 
Central, but enough showers fell between the hints of sun to 
keep things wet and keep the dynamic duo confined to the 
indoors.  However, after so much confinement, the duo pretty 
much took their confinement in stride.  With the temperature at 
61F 16C, they barely thought of going out.  It is raining again 
this morning, so the duo will likely have a repeat.

For me, I expect a reasonably peaceful day.  Until next FOTD, 
take care, and don't miss the byways of life.
