Classic FOTD -- June 23, 2001 (Rating 5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

The learned Astronomers often wonder what it would be like to
actually see with X-ray vision the birth of a supernova.  They
wonder what they would observe if they could park their well-
insulated space craft nearby and watch as the oversize star's
core collapsed into a black hole and the resulting shock wave
blew the star apart.  They could see the rush of neutrinos that
herald the imminent explosion blast into space at (nearly?) the
speed of light.  They could watch as any nearby planets were
turned to ash and vaporized.

The astronomers cannot do this, learned as they may be, but they
can view today's FOTD image and see a slice through the center
of an exploding supernova.

I named the image "Super-Nova" because I decided that it looks
like one.  I rated it a 5 because of it's average quality.
Also, I'm not sure that the name I chose is the best one
possible.

I had to add a 'mathtolerance=' entry to the parameter file
because the magnitude of the image is so large that it may not
render correctly at the higher resolutions.  Actually, the scene
is not fully resolved even at the relatively low SF5 resolution.
The non-zero X-mag and skew factors are also due to exceeding
the precision of the math.  I tried changing these values in the
parameter file to zero, but this caused the image to shrink.

A good feature is the short rendering time -- 5 minutes on my
200mhz machine, only a minute or two on a state-of-the-art
fireball.  (Yesterday's fireball is today's turtle.)

The file of the GIF image will soon be available on the W.W.W.
at Paul's site at the URL:

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

and at Scott's site at the URL:

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

The fractal weather today (June 22) was cloudy.  The fractal
cats approved of the temperature of 86F (30C), but disapproved
of the thunder, which rumbled for 6 hours before the downpour
finally arrived after sunset.

Today is Saturday, and it's 10:38am, and I've got a few tasks
such as lawn trimming to do.  (If it doesn't rain.) This is a
good enough reason to end the latest FOTD and start thinking
of the next one, which will appear in 12 or 24 hours.  Until
then, take care, and be neutral in all appropriate things.

Classic FOTD -- June 24, 2001 (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

I seem to have just invented, or at least discovered, the wheel.
Today's image certainly does resemble a chariot wheel, with its
8 spokes and various decorations.  But actually, it's a midget
in the fractal that is created by the iterated formula:
- -0.6(Z^(-1.3))-0.006(Z^(-3))+(1/C).  Regardless of what it is,
the name "The Wheel" serves well as a description of the picture.

The parent fractal is a routine shape created by combining
negative portions of Z^(-1.3) and Z^(-3).  Today's scene is
located very deep in a tiny valley, just inland of the
conventional buds, near to a larger midget.  I rated it at a 6
because of the unusually brilliant colors, though at times I
think that the colors are a bit too brilliant.

The magnitude of the image is so great that I needed to include
an entry in the parameter file telling the program to render the
scene at the correct magnitude regardless of whether it is fully
resolved.  I do not intentionally go beyond the limits of the
math routine as I did today, but sometimes the midget that I am
chasing doesn't appear until the resolution limit has been
reached.

The parameter file of the scene requires almost one hour to
render on my 200MHZ once-a-fireball-but-now-a-clunker computer.
A hasty trip to one of the two web sites where the image is
posted will be well worth the effort.  But give Paul and Scott a
chance to render and post the image before visiting.  The URL's
of those sites are:

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

and:

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

The fractal weather today was cloudy with light rain and a
temperature of 75F (24C).  Later in the afternoon however, the
rain stopped, the clouds blew away and the fractal cats ventured
out of doors.  When they returned to the house, I found a
freshly-killed and half-eaten sparrow on the pathway.  I have no
way of knowing for sure who did it, though Tippy had the more
satisfied attitude after the event.

It's now time to get on to other things.  So until next time,
which will be here before you know it, take care, and why do
fractals exist in a world where so much does not exist?

Classic FOTD -- June 25, 2001 (Rating 7)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's fractal is a quickie.  I found it in less that 10
minutes, and rendered it in less than 8.  I rated it a 7, though
I harbor a feeling that anything including fractals that comes
so quickly cannot be worth much.

In coloring today's image, I set the background to a sky blue,
so that the effect is one of looking through the fractal toward
the brightness beyond, rather than looking into a bottomless pit.

I named the picture "Hanging by a Thread" because of the thread-
like filaments that seem to be holding the midget in place.

The parent fractal is a huge, grossly bloated, oversized thing
that needs several full outzooms before it is revealed in its
entirety.  Today's scene is located in a thread that spans a
hole in this oversized object.

With a run-time of a little over 7 minutes, the parameter file
is marginal.  The GIF image will soon be available on the
W.W.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 perfect, with blue skies, warm
sun, puffy white clouds, and a cat-pleasing temperature of 82F
(28C).

The time being late, and having lazed away all of Sunday, I now
must turn my attention to non-fractal things.  But the next FOTD
will appear complete with fractal within 24 hours, if not
sooner.  Until then, take care, and have patience with your
fractals.

A1. Why not?

Subject: (fractint) Fractint version 20.1.12

The diff and executable for Fractint version 20.1.12 are now available at:
www.fractint.org

What's new:

Fixed a problem with a finished image not redrawing if the maxiter was
  increased and another parameter was changed.

  Added checks for p3, p4, and p5 to the browser for determining similar
  images.

  Updated Scott Boyd's email address.

Xfractint fixes:
  Fixed the command line -disk segmentation fault.

  Fixed the Shell to Linux/Unix segmentation fault and the displayed prompt.

  Fixed the bug causing colors= data to be incorrect when in a truecolor
mode.

  Removed or commented out extra lines of code and some experimental
  routines.  Some of this code was stealing key strokes.

  Changed the prompt for getting to the second <TAB> screen.

The Xfractint source hasn't been updated yet.  I should get to it tomorrow.

Jonathan

Subject: (fractint) C-FOTD  26-06-01  (Quadrilateral [6])

Classic FOTD -- June 26, 2001 (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Start with a bit of 1/Z, add a lot of Z^100, then add 1/C and
iterate a few thousand times.  What do you get? -- a fractal of
course.  The fractal, which is not visible in its entirety
unless an out-zoom is done, consists of a central Mandel-like
figure, with two vaguely Mandel-shaped satellite objects located
symmetrically north and south of it.  Today's little midget is
located in what passes for an East Valley of the north satellite.

Actually, today's midget is in the northeast suburbs of a larger
midget in the pseudo-East Valley of the north satellite.  I
named the picture "Quadrilateral" when I noticed that most of
the elements seem to be in the shape of four-sided geometrical
figures.  The rating of 6, which is a bit above average, seems
an honest assessment of this unassuming image.

I was surprised when I saw the difference made by adding such a
small portion of 1/Z to the Z^100 fractal, which is basically a
circle.  But the most unlikely things seem to happen in the
world of fractals.  If the portions of 1/Z and Z^100 are
reversed, real(p3) needs to be reset to -0.99, but when this is
done, another interesting fractal results.  Tomorrow's FOTD will
be a scene in the fractal that is the reciprocal of today's.

With a render time of just under 20 minutes, the slow parameter
file demands a trip to one of the FOTD web sites for a download
of the GIF image file.  Those sites are found at the URL's:

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

and:

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

The fractal weather today was once again perfect.  The
temperature of 86F (30C) and clear skies kept the cats happy.
And in addition to fractals, happy cats are one of life's
greatest enjoyments.

It's now getting late and near the time to shut down the fractal
shoppe and call it a night.  OK, it's a night!  Until tomorrow,
take care, and never forget that it's easier to think of
questions than to give answers.

Unassuming??? Jim, that is a LUSH colour scheme. I *love* it!

Happy cats and happy people, too.

Must agree w/ Coppin, PDudely, et al that this is one of your best,
precisely because of the coloring scheme. Maybe not much to you, Jim,
but everyone I had look at it now wants a large format copy to put on
her desk.

June has been a good month for you - and for us as a result. Also have
really enjoyed the last week's worth of >5-rated images across the
board.
