Subject: (fractint) C-FOTD  19-05-01  (What Is It [7])

Classic FOTD -- May 19, 2001 (Rating 7)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Sometimes I have a difficult time finding a fractal worthy of
being declared FOTD.  At other times I have a great fractal but
can't find a name for it.  Today's fractal falls in the second
category.

The image is not the best of all time, but it's good enough to
rate a 7, which makes it above average.  The problem was that I
just couldn't think of a name for the image.  Finally, in
desperation, I named it "What Is It".

The parent fractal, a Z^(2.07)+C Mandeloid, appears as a large
bay with two main buds on the western shore.  The scene of
today's image lies somewhat back in the northern valley of the
northern bud.  Rather than consisting of one wedge, as proper
valleys do, this valley consists of a multitude of wedges in
bits and pieces, converging and combining into one main wedge.
The whole thing is better seen than described.

And the image is fast for a change!  Instead of rendering in a
ridiculous 3 hours, the parameter file of this one renders in 3
minutes, making the best way of viewing the scene a toss-up.

For those who choose to go to the internet to see the image, the
GIF file will soon be posted at the following URL's:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

and:

          <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>

I occasionally receive letters asking why I have not switched to
the Ultrafractal program.  I rarely find time to send the reply,
which is simply that I like Fractint better; but while browsing
the Fractal Art list a day or so ago, I was reminded of these
letters.  I noticed that the next Ultrafractal contest is
opening for entries.  Of course, not being an Ultrafractal user,
and not liking contests, I have no intention of entering the
contest, even though it has a sub-category for users of 'other'
fractal programs.  But I wonder why we never hear of a Fractint
contest.

As I recall, the first in this series of fractal-art contests
*was* a Fractint contest, mainly because UF had not yet been
released.  Someone submitted a formula, and the contest was to
see who could create the best fractal from this formula.  I
enjoyed that contest, and even entered several images.  But even
then it was apparent that many fractalists wanted multiple
layers, which I fail to appreciate, and also more colors.
Fractint formulas hundreds of lines long were common, as the
users tried for better coloring.  Some formulas even drew
rudimentary, two-layer checkerboard images.

When UF appeared, with its faster rendering, true color,
unlimited layers and many transforms, the Fractint users who had
seen fractals as a means of artistic expression embraced the new
program, leaving Fractint largely to those who saw fractals as a
manifestation of the abstract realm of numbers.

I have UF in my computer.  I even load it now and then.  But I
just can't get into it like I have been into Fractint for over
10 years.  I feel no resentment toward UF for drawing away
Fractint's users.  UF is a great program that deserves the
popularity it has found.  I simply miss the early days of
sending disks filled with images through the snail mail, along
with messages that read "look what I found at these coordinates".

Well, I see that I'm starting to ramble, so it's time to shift
the fractal thoughts to other topics.  But I can't end without
reporting the all-unimportant weather.

It was cloudy and 68F (20C) here today (Friday, the 18th).  The
cats approved of the conditions.

I'll return in not too many hours with more fractal goodies.
Until that golden moment arrives, take care, and what do you do
with a drunken fractal?

Subject: (fractint) C-FOTD  20-05-01  (Wrap-Around Midget [6])

Classic FOTD -- May 20, 2001 (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

A midget wrapped in cellophane -- how neat.  It's unlikely, but
it's what we have as today's FOTD.  Actually, the cellophane
wrapping the midget is composed of a series of tightly twisted
spiral arms.  And beyond the wrapping lies countless similarly
wrapped symmetrical double spirals, each with a midget centered
between the spirals.

The formula behind the image, Z^(2.07)+C, is the same one that
produced yesterday's image, though instead of being in a
Seahorse Valley-type neighborhood, today's scene is located in
an East Valley-type neighborhood.

I have named the image "Wrap-Around Midget".  I gave it this
name when I saw the tightly-wrapped spiral arms enclosing the
midget.  The image rates a slightly immodest 6 on my conserva-
tive rating scale.

With a render time of a little over 10 minutes, the parameter
file tries one's patience.  To avoid tried and tired patience,
the finished GIF image will soon be available on the Web at:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

and at:

          <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>

The fractal weather today was rather cloudy, humid and warm,
with light rain in the early morning and a high temperature of
79F (26C) in the afternoon.  The fractal cats accepted these
conditions, though they would have preferred less wet grass.

And I'm about ready to settle down in my favorite chair and
accept some Saturday evening junk on TV.  Those battling robots
in the robot-wars seem rather interesting.  Followed by a junky
old 50's sci-fi movie, it will bring the week to a satisfactory
close.  Until tomorrow, take care, but not so much care that
life ceases to be fun.

The Riemann surface? Any fractal dimension you choose to name -> dimensio=

Ah well; would you expect any different behaviour from Microsoft?
