June 10, 2012: One Testy Minibrot | June 9 | June 11 | 2011 | FOTD Home |
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
The
formula behind
today's image -- CrazyMidgets -- is a 13-year-old version of the
MandAutoCritInZ formula that I use so often to create the FOTD
images. I returned to CrazyMidgets to check its
efficiency.
What I found is that it draws images that differ somewhat from those
drawn by the MandAutoCritInZ formula. With a little change in
the
parameters, today's image could have been created with the present-day
MandAutoCritInZ formula. I had an attack of laziness however
that
prevented me from trying.
Today's image is a hole-filled moth-eaten one that, due to the very
narrow color palette, exceeds expectations. Considering all
aspects of the image and formula, I rated the image at an everyday 7 --
not bad, but nothing to get excited about either.
The parent fractal is crazy enough even without considering the name of
the generating formula. I'll not try to describe this parent
since it is so easily checked.
The name "One Testy Minibrot" indicates that the generating formula is
only a test on the way to the final version. Or it could mean
that the minibrot is in a cranky mood.
The calculation time of 3 minutes is brief enough to keep everyone
happy. The hassle of setting up and running a parameter file
may
be avoided by visiting the web sites.
Heat prevailed here at Fractal Central today, with full sun and a
temperature of 91F 33C. The cooling showers hinted at for the
evening failed to arrive. The fractal cats, being inside
cats,
had no trouble with the outside conditions. They did get
cranky
however when we failed to set up their cube complex. The
humans
had a lazy day. The next FOTD will be posted before very
long. Until then, take care, and let's elect a Mandelbrot
fractal
as our next president. There would be no noticeable change
and we
could always blame it on the Julia fractals.
