FOTD -- November 21, 2005 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The MandelbrotMix4 formula has created more FOTD images than any other formula. But strangely enough I have almost totally ignored the corresponding Julia sets. Today's FOTD is a small step toward correcting that oversight. The formula, JuliaMix-1, is only a first effort. What I must do is write a single formula that will combine the abilities of the MandelbrotMix4 and the JuliaMix-1. Today's image is the Julia set associated with yesterday's "Spheres" image. I have named it "Julia Spheres" accordingly. The rating of a 5 indicates that I consider it merely acceptable. The render time of 13 minutes is a bit slow for an average image. But wait may be avoided! The completed image is available on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Sunday turned out quite pleasant here at Fractal Central, with warm sun, light breezes and a temperature of 59F 15C. The cats made the most of the pleasant conditions by passing the after- noon exploring the holly patch. Only a small serving of tuna was needed to keep them happy through the evening. My day was uneventful. However, tomorrow will be quite eventful, at least when the next FOTD is posted. Until then, take care, and be ready for almost anything.
