FOTD -- September 13, 2005 (Rating NA) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a scene in the fractal that results when 2 parts of Z^(-0.9) are subtracted from Z^(1.1) and (1/C) is added. The extra interest was achieved by rendering the scene with the outside set to 'real'. Since I put almost no effort into the image, I did not bother naming or rating it. The render time of 15 minutes is fair enough, but for convenience the already-rendered image is available on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> The philosophy continues in the philofractal version of today's discussion. But the present outburst is nearing its end, and full attention will soon return to the proper topic of fractals. Absolute perfection describes the weather at Fractal Central on Monday. It also describes the behavior of the fractal cats, Thomas the orange and Tippy the tabby. My behavior is never perfect, so it doesn't describe me. Today is starting perfect. I expect more perfection from the duo. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and look for light.
