AOTD -- February 09, 2007

(Actually there won't be an Animation-Of-The-Day until the advent
of quantum computing or unless I can OC a 486 chip to several GHz
and run DOS 6.22 with it; however I will post them as I can ...)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's animation  is taken from Jim Muth's FOTD -- February 04, 2007,
where we step back to (4.069e-5) and then zoom in to the original image
 at (2.66e4).

With a little imagination, one can see the Big Bang originating the
Universe from formless void, followed by chaos amidst celestial objects
and nebula, finally resulting in the Crown of the First Creation,
the Garden of Eden.

Like Muth, I do not see those two characters either, although I suspect
they are there, hiding behind a fractal tree pondering the mystery of
good and evil, and whether or not they should take a hit off that forbidden
fractal fruit.

A modest effort for this one and the short duration give it a rating of 5;
the render time of (55 hrs), though quite modest by the usual standards,
 would definitely offend the patience of just about everyone.

 
However you can forego the effort and just download it by going to
the AOTD web sites at:

       <http://www.fractal-animation.net/index.html>

or using the direct link:

for the 4.5 MEG, 30 second 640x480 WMV file.

The December-January Winter blast appears to be over, and signs
of the Spring ("New Life") Season are appearing, complete with
sunshine, warm temperatures and longer days.

Concurrent with this, the yipping and howling of the fractal coyotes
in the South valley just below Fractal Animation Central has been
picking up considerably at night. I find it a rather pleasant sound
as I am drifting off to sleep, punctuated as it is with the occassional
sounds of fractal cows and horses from the ranches just beyond.

What they are saying is anyone's guess; I really do believe animals talk
to each other, even between species, albiet perhaps not with the
sophistication of us naked apes.

My day was very busy, as tomorrow will be also. Research never stops.
But these animations  just keep coming, and I have 3, possibly a new 4th soon,
systems bored with nothing else to do. 

The next one is due in (?).

Until then, take care, And remember:
