Fractals of the Week: Day of the Moon Edition for 2013/05/13

G’day! Last week was a bit slow for new images, until toward the weekend, so I’m posting the most interesting ones here.

I’m doing research on Mandelbulber for my upcoming tutorial, including work on the blog draft, and I’ve created a rather cool parameter set that I’ll use in it, an octohedral/cubic Mandelbox figure which has generated some rather strange images…

Then again, strange, eerie, odd, and yes, eldritch are par for the course for this blog, and this looks like it’ll be a lot of fun when it’s complete.

But I’ve babbled enough. Here are the images… Click to embiggen.

Fractals of the Week: Thor’s Day XaoS Edition…

Xegg-Yi

Nova Organon

Mandelbroticus

I was fooling around with customizing the formulas used for image generation in XaoS, trying out different settings, as you do with this sort of art…and even though I tend to hate my own stuff, I don’t really mind how these turned out. Not too bad. The video below is not my work, but it’s a beautiful example of what’s possible with fractal animation, in this case using Mandelbulber. Enjoy.

Fractals of the Week: Monstrous Mandelbulbery

G’day, all. This Thursday I’ve got new images via Mandelbulber for you. This last week, I’ve deleted many of the old parameter sets I’ve used to create much of my current stock of images…I’ve simply exhausted the possibilities that those settings offered, and so I decided to create a new crop of files, with more versatility than the old. I’ll be making fewer new parameter sets in future, save new base figures, and the images I’ve included here all use Julia sets derived from a base Mandelbox figure. You may notice some vague resemblance to earlier images posted on here and other venues — that’s intentional, since those have some of my favorite characteristics. Julia sets are fun, especially when I fiddle with them by tweaking the three-dimensional seed coordinates and even switch between different base figures before re-rendering a piece during experimentation. May you all enjoy the remainder of the week, always keep a towel on hand, and DON’T PANIC.

Fractals of the Week: Mandelbulber Macromutations

G’day… I may have just saved my return to college this summer, which is good… Getting some work done at the dentist, less costly, soon, to delay the need for the more costly work later. It’ll cost more in the long term, but it will buy me time, and allow me to focus on my education in both the short and long term. Very good, I think.

Anyhoo…

This week’s images are courtesy of Mandelbulber, using some bizarre macromutations of older parameter sets that produce far better images than their old forms, and more quickly too, without sacrificing image quality. The 3rd and 4th images were generated using a hybrid hypercomplex/quaternion parameter set, far superior to the version it was modified from.
