Gnarly

Here's a fractal I made using the Very Advanced Gnarl formula and I think I used Thin Orbit Traps II (tma.ucl) colouring algorithm, but I'm not quite sure (and too lazy to check). I was going to post this on DeviantArt, but then I changed my mind and completely forgot about it until now.

Autumn's Aglow

Autumn is here! My favourite season! I love all the pretty colours, the colder weather, the storms, everything! Being in such an autumnal mood, I felt inspired to change the design of blog a few days ago. The background is the second fractal by the way :)

The change of season is also affecting my fractals, as pretty much everything I've made lately have been in brown and orange colours. These two were both made using Crystal Globe (julia) (sam.ufm) formula. The first fractal is coloured with Thin Orbit Traps II (tma.ucl), while the second fractal is coloured with Naru's Gnarly Potpourri (tma.ucl).

Emerge

More flowers! I've been trying to make something for the June Ultra Fractal Challenge on DeviantArt, but every time I open UF I end up making something completely different. The challenge is to make a fractal using only formulas from obsolete.ufm and colouring algorithms from obsolete.ucl, which doesn't really sound that complicated. And it isn't complicated at all, I just always feel like putting my own spin on things and use different formulas and algorithms. This is also one of the main reasons why I don't like to use tutorials; I always change everything and end up with something completely different than what the tutorial shows. I guess I just don't like being told what to do.

Anyway, this is a IFS-Barnsley (M-set) (sam.ufm) fractal coloured with Doodads II and Thin Orbit Traps II (tma.ufm). I used Lake mapping on one of the layers.

Home again

I've been in Norway for a couple of days now, and I'm starting to get used to it. I miss Scotland of course, but I suppose it'll get better when I start working next week. Right now I'm just relaxing and enjoying my holiday, and attempting to make decent fractals. These ones are all made with various formulas from obsolete.ufm, and the first one is coloured with Thin Orbit Traps (tma.ucl) while the two others are coloured with algorithms from obsolete.ucl. I think I want to try some of these formulas with Naru's Gnarly Potpourri, especially the Hopalong variation. 
 

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!

Technicolour Daydreams

Colourful and swirly! PhoenixNova (dmj.ufm) formula, coloured with Thin Orbit Traps II (tma.ucl) and Fibers And Things (reb.ucl). 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!

Fractal Exploration

I had some fun exploring a fractal last night, and here is the result. This is a Nova/Mandelbrot/Phoenix/Simurgh (dmj3.ufm) fractal, coloured with Thin Orbit Traps II (tma.ucl).

StutterMandel fun

I just felt like making something purple.. This is a StutterMandel (dmj.ufm) coloured with Thin Orbit Traps II (tma.ucl) and KPK Squeezed Banana (kpk.ucl).

Gnarly Potpourri

I felt like making a Hopalong gnarl earlier today, and after about an hour of messing around in Ultra Fractal, I ended up with this. The formula I used was HalleyNova(Mandelbrot) (dmj.ufm) and I coloured it with Naru's Gnarly Potpourri, Thin Orbit Traps (tma.ucl) and KPK Squeezed Banana (kpk.ucl). I think it looks pretty neat =D

Inverted Julia

Two fractals I made last night. I used Julia (Inverted) formula (dmj.ufm) and Thin Orbit Traps II (tma.ucl) colouring.

Lavender And Mint

HalleyNova-I (Mandelbrot) formula (dmj.ufm). Enjoy!

Summery Feeling

Ahoy there! I have spent almost my entire mid-semester break being sick and whiny, but at last I'm feeling better. I haven't made any fractals or zooms lately, partially because I've been sick, but mainly because I've been feeling lazy and uninspired. However, earlier this evening I stumbled across a super-awesome fractal blog and suddenly I felt an urge to play around with Ultra Fractal again.

This is what you end up with when you're really tired and really inspired (and still a bit sick and dizzy).

PhoenixDoubleNova (Julia) formula (dmj.ufm) and Thin Orbit Traps II(tma.ucl), Circle Trap, Hypocycloid Trap (jam.ucl) and Triangle Inequality Average (standard.ucl).

Fingerprint

Quickie fractal! It took me maybe 15 minutes to slap this one together. I think it looks like fingerprints mixed with sunset and orange juice, but that might just be because I'm really tired at the moment.

Scaled Ikenaga Newton (reb.ufm) and Thin Orbit Traps II (tma.ucl). Enjoy!

Something Spirally

Something new, at last! It's just a really simple quickie, but I still like it.

Cayley Julia formula (reb.ufm) and Thin Orbit Traps II. The first fractal is the original fractal and the two others are slightly modified zooms.

Liquid Sunrise

Here's a fractal I made just a moment ago. The Crystal Globe (Julia) formula was so much fun to play around with, so I decided to try the Crystal Globe (Mand) formula. For this one I used Thin Orbit Traps II and Kampyle Of Eudoxus Trap. I'm experimenting with gradients that don't contain any black, because usually the gradients I use consist of black, white and some other colour. However, in this one I used only pink, orange, purple, white and blue. I also used Lake mapping on one of the layers, I think it makes the fractal look cooler =D

Frames Of Thought

I randomly stumbled across a fun-sounding and neat-looking formula earlier today, and of course I had to try it. This is Crystal Globe (Julia) from sam.ufm. After playing around a bit I ended up using Thin Orbit Traps II colouring algorithm. For texture I made a new layer and added Hexagonal Mapping and then I made another layer and changed the formula to Phoenix Julia from pwc-convert.ufm. I think this looks pretty neat, almost like a drawing. The first picture is the original fractal, and the second picture is a zoomed version of it. Click for bigger view and lots of lovely details!
