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!

Geometrical Winds

Today I decided to make a Hopalong gnarl with Naru's Gnarly Potpourri (tma.ucl) and lots of geometrix texture. I guess it's pretty obvious that I love playing around with the formulas in dmj.ufm, especially the Phoenix formulas, so it shouldn't surprise anyone that this is a PhoenixNova (Julia) fractal (bailout value: 1E-12).

I think that of all the gnarl types you can choose from, Hopalong definitely creates the coolest-looking gnarls. It's really versatile and can give all kinds of different results (a few examples: 3D, abstract and hearty). I'm pretty happy with this one, I really like all the spirals, the little details and the combination of purple and orange. Click for a bigger view and enjoy! =D

Happy Easter!

I was trying some stuff with a PhoenixDoubleNova (Julia) (dmj.ufm) fractal earlier today, and I discovered that changing the bailout value to 1E-12 and colouring it with Fibers And Things (reb.ucl) creates a really neat result. It is somewhat similar to a Phoenix (Julia) coloured with Triangle Inequality Average, although I prefer to colour my Phoenix fractals with Thin Orbit Traps II. Anyway, this is what I came up with after playing around for a while. A lovely abstract Easter fractal. Enjoy!

And because Fibers And Things is my favourite colouring algorithm at the moment, I have included two more fractals where I have used it. This one is a Phoenix (Julia) (standard.ufm) fractal with Fibers And Things and TIA/fBm + (jam2.ucl). Shiny! =D

This is Magnet2 (Julia) (dmj.ufm) formula with Fibers And Things and Sine-Mod III (tma.ucl) colouring.

Shiny Julia

I had some fun with the General Tent Julia (lkm.ufm) formula earlier today, and this is what I ended up with. I like the textures and the shiny, 3D-ish effect. For once I managed to avoid using Thin Orbit Traps II, because I feel like I have used it in almost every fractal I've made lately.

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).

Tropical

Slope (LambdaJulia) formula (dmj.ufm), coloured with Naru's Gnarly Potpourri (tma.ucl) and KPK Squeezed Banana (kpk.ucl). It looks pretty tropical and sweet to me ^^

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!

Phoenix Fun

Here are a few more fractals, the first one was made last night and the two others were made today. I've just had some fun with the PhoenixDoubleNova(Julia) and PhoenixHalleyNova(Julia) formulas from dmj.ufm. Click for a bigger view and 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).

Sick and miserable

I've somehow managed to catch a cold, just in time for my mid-semester break. Oh joy! I have no idea how it happened, I went to sleep last night feeling fine, and then I woke up today with a terrible headache, sore throat and fever. I even dreamed that I had a headache! I also dreamed that I was making volcanic cupcakes out of sand and cinnamon while running up an endless escalator trying to steal my boyfriend's castle. Anyway, here's something random I slapped together in Ultra Fractal last night. I can't remember what formula I used and I'm too lazy to check, but I know I coloured it with Painter's Traps(tma.ufm).

Floral Dreams

Another quickie fractal, the first one in a few days.. I haven't felt like making any fractals, I've tried to focus on studying and finishing my essays. Not that I've actually gotten that much work done, I have a tendency to end up watching movies or playing Secret of the Stars instead. Oh well, at least I'm trying =P Just one more week now and then it's mid-semester break! An entire week off! Not that it makes that much of a difference though,  I'm only at the university three days a week anyway. Hopefully I'll manage to finish two of my essays during the break and start on the last one. Would be nice to be able to focus on studying for my exams. But, enough school-stuff for today.
This is a Round Julia formula(mtc.ufm) with Thingamajigs II(tma.ucl) and Hypocycloid Trap(jam.ucl) colouring.

Futuristic Design

Nothing much to say about this one, it's just another quickie Sine-Mod_III fractal. I think it looks metallic, bloody and futuristic ^^

I used the Ducky Revisited M (ea.ufm) formula.

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!

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!

 

Sand And Mercury

This one is from the same fractal as Bloodshed part 2, just with different colours and slightly changed textures. The title is from a The Gathering song ^^

Phoenix Julia(standard.ufm) and Sine-Mod_III (tma.ucl).
