[Fractint] FOTD 13-12-10 (Moth-Eaten Fractal [7])

12 Dec 2010

      FOTD -- December 13, 2010 (Rating 7)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image lies in the parent fractal that results when 
1.6 negative parts of Z^3 are combined with 2.4 negative parts 
of Z^2 and C is added on each iteration.  The resulting parent 
fractal is a Mandelbrot set with some extra stuff added mostly 
along the X-axis.  Today's scene lies in some of this extra 
stuff that is just starting to sprout along the positive X-axis.

The rating of a 7 might be a bit liberal.  The image really is a 
bit too chaotic and the colors too disorganized for maximum 
effect.  But I kind of like it anyway, with its preponderance of 
grays, so the rating of 7 will remain.

The name "Moth-Eaten Fractal" came about when I realized that 
the thing was full of holes, like an old woolen sweater than has 
hung in the closet too many months with no moth repellant.

The calculation time of over 22 minutes is admittedly slow, but 
may be cut to 14 minutes by rendering the image with the passes 
set to 'g'.  Doing so however will cause some loss of accuracy.

To avoid all calculation, check the web site at:

where the finished image should soon be posted.

The original web site, complete with almost 14 years of FOTD's 
is still located at:

       <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>

but the last time I checked, it was not up to date.

The temperature reached a mild enough 50F 10C here at Fractal 
Central on Sunday, but a steady rain fell all day, spoiling the 
brief respite from the chill.  The fractal cats seemed uncon-
cerned.  We are installing a shelf over the large radiator in 
the hallway, where they can leap any time they wish and be as 
warm as a cat by an open fire.  If all goes as planned, the next 
FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and be 
lively.
