[Fractint] FOTD 17-04-09 (Peak of Destruction [8])

16 Apr 2009

      FOTD -- April 17, 2009 (Rating 8)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image is a scene in the fractal that results when the 
formula Z^(1.3)+C is calculated at a level of 1 minus PI on the 
logarithmic hyper-ladder.  A jagged minibrot lies at the center 
of the image, though it is rather obscured in the glare of a 
fractal nuclear explosion.

I named the image "Peak of Destruction", which is kind of what 
it looks like.  The rating of an 8 includes a mighty 2 points 
for the coloring.  Without the special coloring effects, the 
image is rather boring and worth no more than a 6.

I used the passes=b option because I like to see it working.  
The outside=tdis option is necessary for the explosive effect.

The calculation wait of 1-1/4 quick minutes may be avoided by 
viewing the already-calculated image on the FOTD web site at.

Total sun and a temperature of 66F 19C here at Fractal Central 
on Thursday gave the fractal cats their best day so far this 
spring.  If my day had not been so busy, it might have been my 
best day of the spring also.  FL had a very good but rather 
hard day starting her garden work for the season.

The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take 
care, and look for the ultimate fractal.
