Headlock

My exam in Modern European History 1848-1918 is tomorrow. At 9 o'clock on a Saturday morning! I honestly have no idea how it'll go, one part of me feels pretty confident because I've been reading a lot, and another part of me is absolutely terrified because I don't know if I'll remember anything tomorrow. I've spent most of the day listening to lecture recordings and going through my notes, and even though my brain still feels empty and useless, I figured it was time to stop when the clock came close to 9 pm. In an attempt to relax and take my mind off the exam, I opened Ultra Fractal and decided to make another flower fractal (surprise!). 

This is a KPK CTT (kpk.ufm) fractal coloured with Thingamajigs II (tma.ucl). I'm really happy with it to be honest ^^

Orange

Here's a little something I made last night.. Figured I would post it now before I bury myself in 19th century Germany, the Russian Revolutions and the Habsburg Empire. I've been surprisingly efficient today, it's only 12:50 and I've already had breakfast, read half a chapter about Bismarck and Germany and walked to the university in pretty crappy weather carrying 8 very heavy books. Usually I'm barely concious at this time of the day, but recently I've been getting up earlier and earlier. Maybe it's something in the water that's messing with my internal alarm clock. Or maybe the excessive amounts of coffee I have consumed recently have something to do with.

Anyway, this is a KPK Barnsky Pro (kpk.ufm) fractal coloured with Thingamajigs II (tma.ucl). Enjoy! :)

Lost For Words

Here's a fractal I made last night, using KPK Barninsky (kpk.ufm) formula and Thingamajigs II (tma.ucl) for colouring. Enjoy! :)

Just For Now

I have an exam in 'Modern European History - 1884-1917' next Saturday and I've spent the entire day reading about the industrial revolution and economic changes in Europe from 1850 to 1917. As I started to become increasingly tired and distracted,I figured it was time to put my books away and do something fun. I opened Ultra Fractal with the intentions of making something flowery and after about 30-40 minutes of meddling, I ended up with this lovely little fractal. I used KPK Treebarney (kpk.ufm) formula and coloured it with Thingamajigs II (tma.ucl). Enjoy! :)

Burst Of Pink

Total Recall J (jrf.ufm) formula coloured with Thin Orbit Traps II (tma.ucl), Ikenaga Orbit Trap Enhanced, Hopalong Orbit Trap Enhanced and Henon Orbit Trap Enhanced from reb.ucl. I also used Lake mapping on one of the layers. Enjoy!

Raspberry Secrets

It has been a while since my last post, but at least it's not entirely because of laziness. I've been busy trying to force myself to study for my exams, which is really hard work because I'm easily distracted. I've managed to do a bit of reading and I'm reasonably sure I won't fail the exam I have next Friday, which is why I ended up making this fractal. I figured I needed a reward after getting up at 8 am on a Saturday to go to the library and read about social problems. Pretty impressive, huh? I guess it would be more impressive if I actually remembered any of the stuff I read, but I'm quite proud of myself anyway.

This is a KPK Treebarney (kpk.ufm) fractal coloured with various algorithms from reb.ucl.

With Rue And Fire

I've been listening to Primordial a lot lately, and today I felt inspired to open Ultra Fractal and make something orange and kind of fiery. The exam period is beginning soon, so of course I'm starting to feel artsy and creative. I have even dug up my pencils and paper and started drawing again, for the first time in 3 years. It's a good thing that I only have two exams and that the first one is still two weeks away, because I haven't even started thinking about reading yet. Oh well, I'm happy as long as I don't fail anything. 

This is a Cubic Roots-Julia (reb.ufm) coloured with Fibers And Things (reb.ucl) and Cellular Automata 3 (mjw.ucl). Enjoy!

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! =)
