Apr. 27th, 2006 12:47 amI had forgotten that there's a point where zooming in fails to yield anything measurably different, a sort of intangible limit: "beyond this point, there is no more." You can zoom in infinitely, yes ... but beyond that point, you simply get lost. The possibilities *end*.
There are worse lessons, and worse places to find oneself.

I need to find a space other than DeviantArt. I am not all that comfy with their user agreement now, but haven't found anything better, either. So I guess I know what I'll be doing this next while. As for the piece -- expect changes to that too, heh. I like the fact that the "bones" show so clearly, but need to tweak the colouring.

Uplift
Not exactly the first new one in awhile, but almost. I'm happy with this one -- I was hoping for a feeling of faith, of following a path with minimal assurances, and of being borne up despite fear. I fought hard for the glimmers of sunlight and the impression of motion. And I think it stayed true to that. I don't think I could have done any better with this one, I honestly don't.

Autumn Fires
This one, if you can believe it, started out in shades of blue. That lasted all of five minutes -- I can take a hint when I'm clobbered over the head with it.
It's a failure in that I was looking for something more well-defined, tighter at the edges. The tendency to drifts of colour frustrates me -- I'm used to UltraFractal's crisp shapes. But the result was too lovely to waste.
New fractal.
Oct. 27th, 2004 04:35 pmI'm playing with flame fractals in Apophysis these last couple of days. Just a phase, no doubt... but I love the feel of flame fractals thus far, so who knows?
This is the best result I've gotten yet.

Clouds for Dani
There may not, unfortunately, be prints of these. I have yet to figure out how to bully Apophysis into rendering them at the size I need for that, and they lose something in the transfer if I try to render them from UltraFractal. And I still need work on gradients, as is made obvious by the blinding blue/white at the bottom. But it's a beginning.

Jun. 22nd, 2004 02:50 pmThat last fractal is now available as a print here. And as soon as I can convince UltraFractal that it really does want to render them at the necessary size, I'll make others available as well. :)
accomplishing the impossible. ;)
Jun. 21st, 2004 12:17 pmFlame fractals and Out Of Memory errors
Ultra Fractal 3 can calculate flame fractals with the Flame Fractals coloring algorithm in enr.ucl and Apophysis. This opens up new artistic possibilities, but it can also create problems. Flame fractals take a lot of memory to calculate, and they cannot be rendered to disk

Nope. Can't render them. Really. ;)
