FOTD -- December 05, 2009 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a pure test. Since 3-D fractals are becoming the trendy rage, I decided to see what I could do with the type=julibrot fractals of Fractint. The image is but a slight change from the julibrot default image, so I could give it no rating. But hopefully, as I become more familiar with how this type works, I'll find some far more interesting images. Today's scene lies in the vicinity of Scepter Valley of the Mandelbrot set. I have yet to figure out the angle of the slice. I have also yet to figure out what most of the julibrot parameters do, but a bit of experimentation should shed some light on the confusion. And there are also the two "Fractal Creations" books, which I believe have sections about julibrots in them. I naturally could give no rating to an image that is a total experiment. The name "Three Dimensions" is more a wish than an accomplished fact. The calculation time of under 5 minutes is a far cry from the 2 hours or so that my old 80486 33mhz machine would take to calculate julibrots. The finished image is posted for immediate pleasure on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A forecast mix of clouds and sun turned out to be more clouds than sun here at Fractal Central on Friday. The temperature of 45F 12C was too chilly for cat comfort, forcing the dynamic duo to seek the artificial heat. My day was just plain busy. The next FOTD is due in 24 hours, but Christmas is but three weeks away and FL has more gifts to choose. I suspect we'll take another antiquing trip on Satur- day, so do not be surprised if the next FOTD is late. Until whenever, take care, and be careful with julibrot fractals. When their calculation is interrupted, it cannot be resumed.
