Alright. I'm not sure if any of you know what a fractal is, but that is the artist I am. A fractal artist. After seeing some works I'm sure many of you will recognize them. Here are a few samples of my work:

And here's a few videos of some animations that I have made using fractals. These animations generally take about a week to complete. A normal animation takes about 500 images, and to render one image takes about two hours.
Binary Series (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3j8_Y541Y0o#lq-lq2-hq-vhq-hd)

I've got plenty more to show if anyone's curious. Click the images for an enlargement.

wow, simply amazing, keep upp the great work
-
Heh, thank you. These things take a while to complete. :P
-
WoW ! That was awesome, u have skills.... keep it up :tup:
-
Heh, thanks man. :)
-
WOW, they look amazing, I cant see the pictures but the videos look great.
Fractal art looks quite interesting, might have to give it a go
Reminds me of kaleidoscopes
What program do you use to make them?
-
:censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored:
-
wow nice work, are you a good all rounder artist, you should put your name down for the try out's for the art team.
-
hey is it just me who cannot see theimages - the videos are amazing and i agree with ghost
-
hey is it just me who cannot see theimages - the videos are amazing and i agree with ghost
I cant either
-
WOW, they look amazing, I cant see the pictures but the videos look great.

What program do you use to make them?
I use a program called Apophysis.
:fear: WOW!!
did you do the animations with adobe after effects?
No sir. :/
For the animations I use an external rendering program called "Flam3".
Well, I can't draw or create anything in that effect, if that's what you mean. However I AM exceptionally good at Photoshop. I'm more of an abstract artist, however, and it seems to try out for the art team you need to make a sig of some sort, lol. In those cases I'm not so hot.
Also, images are repaired. Sorry about that. Don't know why they stopped working. :/
wow nice work, are you a good all rounder artist, you should put your name down for the try out's for the art team.
-
BLOODY HELL!
Is it me or is that program extremly hard to make those patterns your making?
Those pics and videos now look a lot better now that I know how hard it is to make those.
(Do you just mess around with that editor with the triangles in?)
I especially like:
OMINOUS WALKWAY
THE SURROUNDING CIRCLE
How did u export them as images? and how do you get them so clear mine look like this:
and yes thats the best I managed!
(https://acidmods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi43.tinypic.com%2Frice44.png&hash=03e6d0d7b8fef28b001112e1e864aefcbf85dfe8)
The art competitions normally have lots of different tasks, like sigs, wallpapers, render of products etc.
You could use that style in sigs and wallpapers so I would enter if I were you, got nothing to loose
-
Hehe, it takes a lot of experimentation. Took me weeks to make my first, non-messy pattern... Which sucked, lol.
I've just been doing this for a while, so I kind of know what I'm doing. :P
First off, update your Apophysis. 2.02 is from like... 1996. xD
http://sourceforge.net/projects/apophysis/ (http://sourceforge.net/projects/apophysis/)
I'd just pick the normal one, don't worry about 3D'ing anything. Lol. You can have more than one APO (Apophysis) program, though.
And to export it, click the little gear on your menu bar at the top left.
Input the size, quality, and area to save. (I render at 1280x1024 and at 5000 quality, although that is extreme. You only need to render at about 1000)
Leave the buffer depth alone, and only limit memory usage if you have a slow machine. If you do that it will take longer for your picture to finish rendering, but won't task so much on your PC.
And once some more details are released I guess I can give it a shot. However, I won't be that good at it. Lol.
-
i can see the pictures now and they look amazing - i hope you dont mind but i have saved them to use as desktop images
-
ah ok, im updating now to 208beta
Think thats the latest.
Thanks for your help, and yeah like mendez said, i hope you dont mind me using one as a wallpaper. Ive chosen the ominous walkway :D
-
Of course not. Those are only some of my works, I've got about 130 others, heh.
Glad you like them enough to use as a desktop, though. :)
I've found that a good fractal I've made for a dark-themed OS is this one.
(https://acidmods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi43.tinypic.com%2F5ul5kh.jpg&hash=c7fbc9f50858d6a41f109a4a7d80c15436574b99) (http://i43.tinypic.com/5ul5kh.jpg)
Also, for anyone here, if you want to see an image in a larger resolution, that is the magic of fractals. I can make any of these images ANY SIZE, without loss of quality.
So if you need one resized to something specific for your desktop, let me know. But please, only if it needs to be enlarged. It takes about 3 hours for an image to render, so if I get requested for exact fits all the time it'll take forever. >.<
-
dude you should fully try out, a sig wont take much work, you can even use a fractal in it. Mind if I modify your 4rd fractal down into a wallpaper for myself?
-
Alright, I'll give it a shot. Just keep me updated and such.
Also, feel free to. All of my fractals are free to use for your own will in personal use.

Heh, thank you. :)
And you absolutely may. :)

:censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored:

Of course. :)
-
holy crap.... you got skills...
-
Lol, thank you.
They're easily attainable skills if you have time to devote and a keen eye for design and mathematics.
-
Wow im amazed by your work thats some art work you got there well done. :#1:
-
wow man 500 pics at 2 hours a piece that's like 1000 hours per video. you must have some free time, but keep up the work it looks awesome.
-
Yeah, videos take FOREVER.
Hence why I love my new computer. It definitely helps split the time. :P
In any case, thank you. :)
Just for kicks, here's a new one.

i like that one it looks like people have been throwing hundreds of reals of twine around a room
-
That'd be some messy room.
Also, I decided that since I can, I might as well post a new image every time I post on this thread. So, basically, if you want to see more keep replying here, and I'll end up responding back. xD

Wow kewlhotrod I must say you have some... *thinking* You just have IT. I am seriously lost for words and I'm going to shut up now and just wish a few of these were my screen saver.
-TwisT
-
Heh... Well, there is this bad-ass screen-saver that uses animated fractals as the screen-saver. Like those that I animated in the first post.

Download, let it run overnight, and enjoy. :)

-
wow love the screensaver app :P all we wabt is your arts on our screen saver
-
Well, I tried that at one point and time, but to create screensavers from movies is quite... large. The filesize becomes immense. :/
Random Fact: This image took 2 weeks and 1 day to render, because I zoomed in so much. This is a detail shot of a fractal.

very nice - btw if you want to you should now be able to use the acidmods gallery to host your images. and i am still really impressed with these fractals they are beuitful. could you possibly do a few 1920x1200 as thats my screen res pleeeeaaaaaassseeee
-
Absolutely. Got a certain few you want me to make? Something themed? Any of the ones I've already made? Just give me an idea and I'll get right on it.
Also, I still don't have an upload option when making a post.

you dont just upload it when you make a post you goto the gallery and make yourself a personal album and upload them to there then just take the BBC code and post it
-
Oh, awesome.
Anyways the folder can get on the front page of the gallery, since it's community-related?
Also, I'll see if I can't upload all of my fractals there and just link here. :P
And, once again, what kind of theme/certain pictures do you want resized for your desktop? :)
-
well i have aproved your album and your images and here is a link to them https://www.acidmods.com/forum/index.php?action=mgallery;sa=album;id=30 (https://www.acidmods.com/forum/index.php?action=mgallery;sa=album;id=30)
if you want i can try and move it to the main page
-
Heh, it would be appreciated. :)
Also, what pictures do you want resized, already? xD
-
did you not get my msn message? and i tried moveing it but i couldnt
-
No, I don't believe so.
I'm not at home right now, however, so I won't be able to make them until tonight, or maybe, tomorrow.

obin d'arcy 22:57
hi
i dont know how possible it would be but could you make a fractle in a similar sort of shape to the apple logo
۞۩ ₢я₤₤₫ ۩۞ - çåŧå ɣ ڰ 22:57
Oooh... That'd be a very tough one. I'm not sure if I could do that.
57:53
I mean, sure, I'll give it a shot, but to create fractals into a predefined shape is really difficult.
robin d'arcy 22:58
well if not a rainbow style one
۞۩ ₢я₤₤₫ ۩۞ - çåŧå ɣ ڰ 22:58
Rainbow style one? That's definitely acceptable. What kind of... "look" would you like?
robin d'arcy 22:59
like a swirling vortex
۞۩ ₢я₤₤₫ ۩۞ - çåŧå ɣ ڰ 22:59
Alright. Please send me a PM with these, I'm not on an actual MSN messenger, so I don't have this saved.

Nice alt codes. :cool:

Lol, thank you. :P
They don't tend to display well unless you've got the right packs, apparently. The last part spells out "Cataclysm". xD
