FOTD -- September 07, 2005 (Rating NA) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a scene in the fractal that results when Z^(0.06) and Z^2 are combined, and C is added. The bubbly effect was achieved by rendering the image with the outside set to 'fmod' and the proximity set to 0.5. Since almost all my energy went into the writing of the philofractal discussion, I gave the image no name other than the date. The render time of 2 minutes is fair enough. The pre-rendered GIF image will be available before long on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Deep blue sky, puffy white clouds, gentle winds, low humidity, a temperature of 81F 27C -- all this combined to make the day absolutely perfect here at Fractal Central on Tuesday. The cats were so happy that they paused to give thanks to the great cat. For me, the day was on the slow side. Today promises to be the same. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and look toward the light.
