JuliaPhoenixSimurgh animation

This is a fractal zoom animation of a Julia/Phoenix/Simurgh fractal (dmj3.ufm), coloured with Thin Orbit Traps II (tma.ucl). It was made with Ultra Fractal and took about a week to render. Enjoy!

DoubleNova animation

Here's a new fractal animation, the first one I've made in a while. It took "only" 61 hours to render, and I'm pretty happy with the result. I have another animation rendering at the moment, a Julia/Phoenix/Simurgh (dmj3.ufm) fractal with tons of details. I'm pretty excited about that one, and I think it'll be ready in a week or so. Hopefully it'll look good.

This is a DoubleNova (Julia) (dmj.ufm) fractal with Thin Orbit Traps II (tma.ucl) colouring. Enjoy!

Cubic Roots animation

Finally, more animations! I've been waiting for ages for the Cayley Mandel animation to finish rendering, and unfortunately the result is not as awesome as I hoped. The colours are a bit messed up and the end could have been a lot better. I feel like I always zoom in on the wrong parts of the fractal.

Oh well, at least the Cubic Roots Julia animation turned out pretty nice. Spirally, trippy fun ^^

Enjoy!

 

Spiky zoom

Here's my second Slope Barnsley zoom! I like this one a lot more than the other one, the colours are nicer and it just looks cooler. Spiky, stingy, shiny Barnsley ^^

The formula used is Slope Barnsley 1 ManJul (sdc.ufm)

Spiralling Blue

Zoom animation of a Scaled Julike Newton fractal (reb.ufm). Enjoy!

Barnsley zoom

I was planning on posting the Cayley Mandel animation first, but for some reason that one is still rendering, so I'm just gonna post this animation instead. This is a Slope Barnsley 1ManJul fractal, and to be honest it's not the most exciting zoom I've done so far. The colours are a bit boring and the video is kinda slow, but I do like that it looks 3D. I'm rendering another zoom of this fractal right now, and I think that one will be better than this. =P

Rust

Another dive into a Cayley Julia (reb.ufm) fractal! I love that formula, it's so much fun to play around with. For this animation I changed the 'Convergence Methods' from Newton to Mixed 3, just to make it look a bit different. I have two more zoom animations rendering now, they'll probably be ready in a couple of days. One of them is a Cayley Mandel fractal and the other one is a surprise =D

Cayley animation

This is a zoom I made of a Cayley Julia fractal. I like all those spider web-like details in it, and I think the colours look pretty nice too. It took forever to render though, more than 18 hours, but it was worth the wait. At least I think so =D

Phoenix Fun part 2

Here are two more Phoenix Julia zooms. Enjoy! :)

Magnet zoom

This is a zoom of a Magnet 1 (Mandelbrot) fractal. I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out, although I don't like the ending that much. I guess I could edit it, but right now I'm too lazy. At least the colours turned out nice, changing from blue to pink. Next time I'm playing with this formula, I think I'll zoom in on one of the mandelbrots that appear every now and then. :)

Phoenix Fun

Yet another zoom animation! This time we're diving into a Phoenix Julia fractal, coloured with Triangle Inequality Average. My animations keep getting longer and longer, this one lasts for 1 minute and 25 seconds! It's probably silly of me to get excited over something as little as that, but I'm still really happy. I've only been making these zooms for a few days, so any progress I make makes me super excited =D

Anyways, hope you'll like it!

Enter The Mandelbrot

Just couldn't help myself, I had to make a couple more animations last night. It's really addictive! In these videos we take a dive into the Mandelbrot set and explore the lovely spirals and swirls. My favourite is the second video, mainly because I animated the gradient. I think it gave a really nice effect, it's almost as if the fractal is popping out of the screen! 

The colouring algorithm I used is Triangle Inequality Average.

More Animation Fun

Another animation! This time I decided to try to animate the gradient as well, and it ended up looking pretty cool. This is the longest animation I've made so far, 50 seconds, and it actually didn't take that long to render.

This is a Lambda Julia fractal with Triangle Inequality Average colouring. Enjoy! =D

Animation fun

I wrote in the previous post that I wouldn't attempt to make any fractal zooms myself anytime soon, but obviously I lied. Right after I had posted it, I decided to figure out how to make fractal animations and it is a lot easier than I thought. All you need is Ultra Fractal(animation edition) and patience. And of course a tutorial is very useful too. I skimmed through the animation tutorial that came with UF and started experimenting with zooms right away. These are two of the videos I made, the first one is from a Mandelbrot fractal and the second is a Phoenix Julia. They are pretty short and a bit choppy, but for being my first attempts at animation, I'm pretty happy with the result. The only downside is that they take forever to render. The Mandelbrot video is only 23 seconds long and really small, and it took more than an hour! Imagine how long it would take to render a 5 minute video! Oh well, I guess I'll get used to it.. =P
