Incendia [link] creation

The C L A I M

Fri, 27 Apr 2012 07:12:07 PDT

- THIS AREA NOW BELONGS TO ME.

This one goes to bib, who found a place similar to this ( not the exact same hybrid) [link] only a week or so before I got here, and he did such a splendid render of it I didn't see any meaning to post any of mine.

Instead I did these, from the same hybrid:

However, to promote our upcoming joint exhibition at Värmlands museum:

EXHIBITION - BEYOND THE INFINITE*

Exhibition @ Värmlands museum, Sweden.
19th of may - 2nd October 2012

Link to the museum site about the exhibition: http://www.varmlandsmuseum.se/1/1.0.1.0/663/1/

:iconmandelwerk: Johan Andersson aka MANDELWERK & :iconbib993: Jérémie Brunet aka bib993

I am happy to announce my first real life 3D fractal art exhibition.

So all of you who happen to pass the city of Karlstad during this period has the chance to see mine and Jérémie:s works as big prints.

The museum has also arranged with a number of natural fractals, a large Sierpinski pyramid, 3D printed 3D

...where you will be able to see (among many other beautiful artworks) bib:s version of it
I got the idea for this version of 'the tip' a few weeks ago, and because it was quite different from bib:s, I felt it was worth a submission. (The place still belongs to bib! GTF out of here!!! )

Mandelbulb 3D, Photoshop to do the semi transparent surface. + Birds for Kali

< END OF GIBBERISH >

Have a nice weekend!

Oooops, just found out I got a DD for this piece.
Thank you for this feature n8iveattitude and thank you flouvl for suggesting it. I am honored!

I'd like to take the opportunity to point you to a piece I submitted today which means a lot to me:

Chocorose

Fri, 28 May 2010 17:05:43 PDT

Scroll down for the parameters + tips and instructions

I finally managed to purchase some of Janet Parke's course ebooks. This is one of my homework images.

[link]
[link]

Well worth every penny. I seriously recommend these ebooks. I'm not even fully through the first course yet, and I've already improved this much. Can't wait to continue my education.

UF 4.04

No need to comment, feel free to fav and run. I'm busy these days with college and Summer (who's seven months old now, crawls, and loves bananas ).

---

EDIT: For those of you who are interested in Janet's courses (information linked above), you should first know that they are Windows executables that are unique to a specific computer; basically, when you first open your ebooks, they ask for a code that only fits your computer, which you can only obtain from Janet herself. I ran into problems, for example, when I had to switch operating systems (but of course, Janet was excellent and resolved them for me quickly and with no cost). The point is, they can't be transferred, so you can't buy them off of me. I'm sorry. I also don't know if she has any accommodations available for Mac users or not.

---

Final (I hope) edit: If you can run UF, you can run the ebooks.

Hope that answers any questions!

---

Final (no really, this time it is I swear) final edit: Since this image is so popular, I decided to post the parameters to it for people to look at.

The only things I require is that you make something different from what I made (I don't want to see a million re-renders of Chocorose floating around. =/) and that you post a link to the things you made with it so I can ! And obviously don't take the parameters and sell prints of my piece, but I figure that one's obvious . . .

TIPS: Notice the underlying texture layers and the layer settings/gradients I used on them. Most of them are overlays that have the opacity turned down.

I also prefer to use separate color layers in most cases as opposed to coloring my base layers. This is my own preference, you should experiment with coloring all the different layers to get a different product. By no means is this the only good way!

Finally, the second layer is very important to bringing out the lower spiral because without it, the spiral becomes too dark and the texture doesn't stand out. Notice the layer underneath and its gradient as well as the layer above and its gradient. They both work in tandem to produce the base.

Without further ado, here are the parameters:

If you have any questions about how the parameters work or just want me to ramble (warning: I ramble) about them, feel free to ask questions.

Make something unique and awesome with them! And if you want to know more about creating images in Ultra Fractal, buy the courses and go through them, you won't be disappointed!

Oh god I broke it! Edit: *heavenriver is a sly devil (she was all like, "Check out Halloween's DD! I think you'll enjoy it!" )

and a nice person.

I'm chuffed to be one of the holiday DDs, really--it's always been kind of a "if possible I'd like to do this" kind of thing.

s to ^DragonWinter and *heavenriver!

Fivecorn_Filaments_Parade

Download for 1280x960 resolution

This motive is the upper part of the left head in the earlier motive Fivecorn_Prototype. The buds are quartic Mandelbrot buds. Since the junction point of the head is not a single point, as is the case when joining the continent of the Quartic Mandelbrot set, but glued to the tip of the fivecorn continent in the shape of a v (see my journal Multicorns), the buds and its filaments dont become shorter. Instead they are pressed more and more together in the direction towards the continent. There is an infinite number of buds before reaching the continent. Because of not being shorter, this is instead possible cause their thickness (in comparison to their length) approaches zero..

Yay! My first fractal image!! I downloaded Apophysis 2.0 about a month ago and just now figured out how to save the dang thing as a .jpg!! Thanks to the folks who were nice enough to give me the tips/help on how to save it correctly. Feel free to download for your desktop background. I will be using this on my b/f's band's power point slides for our college worship services.

Fractal Explorer...

I usually render FE images at 4000 x 4000 with anti Aliasing set to 9 points. I save as bitmap and then change the size and format to jpeg in PSP or Photoshop to 3000 x 3000.

This time I decided to try the save method from FE to a direct jpeg and am very disappointed with the result. The edges are nowhere near as sharp and crisp and the whole image looks kind of fuzzy to me.

So I shall be doing it the way I know works best for my work in the future.

Hope this tip is useful for some of you.

Please show and tell your tweak tricks!

These and some other params I've been doing lately have been LOOOONG rezzes, at least overnight, some up to two days! I NEED NEW COMPUTER! LOL! Or tips on how to make things render faster. At some point, maybe I could post my machine specs.

Mandelbrot Crucifix

Fri, 21 Jan 2011 20:37:55 PST

This is a slightly deeper zoom from my previous Mandelbrot Iron Cross [link]

The cross, as well as being beautiful, has deeply spiritual meaning to me. It is really a pleasure, with proper zooming techniques, to be able to find all sorts of imagery withing the Mandelbrot set.

I achieved this result by zooming in just off the tip of the Iron Cross formation. With periodic doubling, this results in the formation being duplicated twofold around the original zoom point. Objects closer to the centroid appear much larger, creating the effect of the bottom arm being much larger than the others. There is another cross identical to this one upside down just below the bottom of the image. you can also see two such smaller cross formations within the center of the cross where the arms meet.

Thank you and comments, fave, etc appreciated!!

On The Tip Of My Tongue -DESCRIPTION-

Sun, 27 Nov 2011 12:38:28 PST

This picture is, unusually, deliberately frustrating. My aim was to convey that feeling when you try desperately to remember something you know that you know, and you feel so close to it but it just eludes you! Usually happens to me with an actor's name or similar things.. So I offset the picture just the wrong amount, had no background blur and didn't mold the renders together really at all - also there is a very subtle blue in there which really adds to the tone I think so I apologise if you find this frustrating but that is almost the point any questions, please ask away love to hear feedback as this could be received really in ANY way

^{A Mandlebulb3D Fractal by =MurderByProxy.}

Please use full-view or download as the image looks incredibly small and cramped if you're not running at my screen resolution. I'll assume that the vast majority of you are not.

This is my second time experimenting with a wonderful little fractal generation program called Mandelbulb 3d. The results came out far better than expected this time.

The quick and dirty of it is that I needed a 5760x1080 wallpaper for my three-screen eyefinity setup, and wallpapers of this size are slim pickings everywhere. I decided that I would make one, instead.

I created the lighting within the program, and used it's built-in raytracing renderer. It took about five hours, in total, to render at 20,000px x 3,750px, I spent about two hours tinkering with the colouration and another hour fine-tuning the position of the lights. I exported the Z-Buffer (Depth Buffer) as an image, and loaded both up in the GIMP to apply a lens blur (depth-of-field) using the Z-Buffer as a reference. This is how I got the rather photorealistic depth-of-field in the image.

Any comments/critiques from more experienced three-dimensional or fractal artists would be wonderful. I've just rediscovered fractals and any tips or tricks would be wonderful information to have.

There are a couple of minor problems with this one, but I won't point them out for y'all.

Enjoy.

Juliabrot3D-1

Fri, 18 Jan 2008 16:20:17 PST

All the connected (quadratic) Julia sets can also be regarded as 2D-slices of the four dimensional Juliabrot set. In a 3D slice they can be stabled along one of the parameter (c-) axis’. In this motive ALL (connected) Julia sets obtained along the real c-axis are stapled, the imaginary c-axis pointing into the fourth dimension.

I encourage the dear reader and owner of UF, when the unmagnified standard Mandelbrot set is open in a window, to select “Switch mode and to move the cursor from the cusp to the right to the tip of the spike to the left and observed the changes the Julia set undergoes under this journey The you will at least recognize the “top plateau” of this deviation

The same experiment can be done in any Mandelbrot program (as FE) where Julia sets can be obtained in a similar way

For further comments read my article,

The formula (UF) is “Raytracing2” Written by my dear friend here on DA. His and my modules are included in the zip [link]

If anyone could give me any tips for focusing on a good point, that would be helpful. I must have an "infinity" setting going on somewhere, because I'm not able to "zoom in" on an interesting spot.

Filename: 070829-ma2a-w1-g

Made way back on August 30th, 2007. Autumn was just starting then, so this was more appropriate then than now. I never got around posting this fractal. Now that I am posting this I see a lot of wrongs with it, most notably the colors - I could have reversed the positioning so that the most red point is at the tip of the leaves. Too lazy to dig up the parameters, but will change anything if requested.

My comments, made on that day, while the fractal is rendering:

"A few days ago, I decided (again) that making symmetrical fractals only is not very good for a fractalist. After many random batches and falling into a creative cul de sac a few times, I decided (again) that relying on random batches alone isn't the way to go.

Clicking on the "New Blank Flame" button and making a fractal from scratch can seem to be quite tough, but I made it easy by finding leaf-shaped patterns and shapes. In other words, I am very biased towards making leaves.

So, I present to you, yet another leaf fractal with a totally uncreative title. I adjusted the weights to make it look more like leaves of my liking. Most of my leaves fractals is comprised of 2 triangles, so is this."

--
As usual, request for parameters of fractals is open, and - if you want a higher resolution, or in PNG format, or a higher quality render, ask and you will receive. Tweaks welcome, please give me a link to your tweak.

Made in Apophysis 2.06c.

St. Elmo's Fire

Sun, 08 Aug 2004 17:12:24 PDT

St. Elmo's fire is a plasma (i.e. a hot, ionized gas) that forms arounds the tips of raised, pointed conductors during thunderstorms. It is known as a corona discharge or point discharge to physicists. The few people that have had the privilege of viewing an actual St. Elmo's fire have given various descriptions. It has been seen with different physical characteristics depending on the conditions of the viewing. It could be blue to bluish-white, silent to emitting a hissing sound, and ghostly to solid. Some people belive that the Hindenburg was ignited by St. Elmo's fire in 1937, however this theory has yet to be proven.

St. Elmo's fire occurs during thunderstorms - generally after the most severe part of the storm has passed - when the air reaches a very high voltage. These conditions are necessary to accumulate a charge large enough to create the phenomenon. It is always found attached to a grounded conductor with a sharp point; the most common are masts of sailing ships, church steeples, airplane wings or propellers, or even horns of cattle. The non-attached version of St. Elmo's fire is known as Ball Lightning.

In Shakespeare's The Tempest, Ariel the sprite, speaks of fooling with unlucky sailors while posing as the supposed omen:

I boarded the Kings' ship; now in the beak,
Now in the waist, the deck, in every cabin,
I flamed amazement; sometime I'd divide
And burn in many places; on the topmast
The yards and bowsprit, would I flame distinctly
Then meet and join.

In Melville's Moby Dick, the fisherman, Ishmael, observes:

"All the yardarms were tipped with a pallid fire, and touched at each tri-potential lightning rod with three tapering white flames, each of the three tall masts was silently burning in that sulphurous air, like gigantic wax tapers before an altar...in all my voyagings seldom have I heard a common oath when God's burning finger has been laid on the ship..."

Longfellow wrote in The Golden Legend:

Last night I saw St. Elmo's stars
With their glittering lanterns all at play.
On the tops of masts and the tips of spars.
And knew we should have foul weather today.

Longfellow also referred to St. Elmo's fire in The Challenge of Thor:

The light thou beholdest, streams through the Heaven,
In flashes of crimson, is but my red beard.
Blown by the night wind, afrighting the nations.

These and some other params I've been doing lately have been LOOOONG rezzes, at least overnight, some up to two days! I NEED NEW COMPUTER! LOL! Or tips on how to make things render faster. At some point, maybe I could post my machine specs.

Like I said, I'm abstract. This background looked the best with it; otherwise it would be like green and some-color swirls.. *note to self; stop depreciating your art* -- But you can see it; right: the wings and antennea? If not, come over and I'll point it out to you, and then be aggrivated that a.)you didn't see it, and b.)you've just walked through my house in your muddy shoes.--
So anyway; this is only the second thing I've made with Apophysis, so if you've got any little tips or anything to make it a wee bit less abstract for you (the viewer), or a little easier for me..it would be appreciated. So thx for viewing and hope you like it...

As for this pic, I feel that it coulda used a more sci-fi feel; its like there could be more scany bits, but I couldn't think of what to add. Oh well. If anybody has tips for what to add and how, lemme know!

This is definitely raw and will be replaced, but I wanted to post it and get some feedback for settings, colors, etc.

Apo 3D hack render settings:

Quality: 6000
FilterR: 0.4
OverS: 2
ImageSize: 1280x768
32-bit Buffer Depth Floating Point
Used only 60mb RAM to render
2+ hours render time

--------------------------------------
Just to put myself on the right page about some settings, Filter Radius is an anti-aliasing agent, correct? Or is it a fancy word for 'blur'? What setting, if any, does FR coincide with? Is there a typically harmonious balance that should be sought, or is it per individual render, an individual setting requiring no dependencies?

My curiosity is thus: While I see many fractal renders online that have perfectly smooth curves and circles, what are the settings that some of you use to obtain that quality? I can't seem to figure out the right settings for smoother circles. It seems that cranking up the FR this time (I always use 0.2) to 0.4 added unnecessary dust and particles and maybe some blur.
Before I engage the final render, I always check in the main window with a Quality of 4000, but this time it did not turn out just like the display render.

Just by looking at this preview, what advice do you all have for a better render?
If you would like the .flame to test, please send me a note requesting such. THAnks.

*Any and all suggestions, comments, critique, tips and general hand holding graciously accepted.

Second version of the same fractal, which uses total averaging of all the colors added to each pixel at the end, instead of just replacing the pixel's color with the wandering point's color or averaging it every time the "wandering" point hits the pixel. Thanks to lyc for the tip, that solved the non-continuity of the colors.
