thanks, glad you like it, although I'm probably not doing any more that take that long for some time to come..

and thanks for the fav

cool, love to see it, hope you can do one that doesn't take as long as this did to render

Hey would you mind helping me with a pet project I just came up with?

well, if I can I will... what sort of project?

It's kinda weird but I'll have an intro to it up in a little bit. What happens is somebody (I was thinking you because your art is amazing) makes a 3200x3200 pixel render in MB3D. They post it along with the params. someone else takes those params and tweak them, rendering it 3200x3200 pixels. They post it and the new params. Then it repeats until we have 12 pieces. Then I can compile them together into a mini-mosaic type thing and everybody who worked on it can also post the final product. What do you think?

hmm, sounds like an interesting project... somewhat similar to an idea i had for a challenge in the #XtremeFractals group... I suggested to DsyneGrafix that they run a challenge where one person creates a new MB render, then everyone can tweak it, and then we vote on which tweak is best, and then everyone tweaks the winner, and the process repeats, perhaps for as long as one year...

Would you want me to create a brand new render, or use one I have already posted? And could my original be a tweak, or do you prefer an original render? In some ways a tweak might suit me better, since my best renders are tweaks of other's work.

Well, let me know and we'll see.

A brand new render would be more to the spirit of the project, but if it must be a tweak or an old original, we could work with that too. Would ou mind spreading the idea, as you carry a good deal of influence in the fractal community. If anyone's interested, have them note me. It can be more than 12 people. I just want a number that's either a square number or close to one, like 9, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 25, etc.

fraterchaos In reply to Daeurth [2012-01-20 21:35:35 +0000 UTC]

ok, let me ask this first... are you certain you want to go with a size like 3200X3200? That is very large, and if you planned to make a combined image of all the renders, it would either be huge, or you would need to shrink them before combining.

Either way... I can work with it if you want that large, as I usually go with 3072X3072 anyway.

For spreading the idea, I would suggest you send a note to the #XtremeFractals group (assuming you are a member?) and ask them to post a journal announcement seeking volunteers. If you decide to do so, you can state that I have already agreed to do one, possibly the first, of the renders for you.

If you prefer not to do that, let me know and I will try to come up with a journal entry describing the idea and asking for participants.

1600x1600 works. I have you down as doing the initial render. Would spreading it through several channels work? I was thinking we could both do journals about it and I could also try to run it through #XtremeFractals. Sound Good?

fraterchaos In reply to Daeurth [2012-01-20 21:50:29 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I suppose I could do that. And 1600X1600 may be better as I can shrink a larger render in PS and it will look even better

ok, let me get this posted to my journal and then We'll see if I can do a render that I feel is good enough to start it off

Thanks! I just finished that tweak I told you about and I'm posting it now. Can you help me note some people like n8iveattitude1, GypsyH, and other well known MB3D users about Render Evolution?

fraterchaos In reply to Daeurth [2012-01-20 22:24:52 +0000 UTC]

I saw the tweak... I noticed that for some reason the thumb displays are not working in the descriptions... I don't think its due to the premium thing, as I can paste thumbs I believe. But if you can't get them to work, use :icon: (no <>) and a link instead.

Well, GypsyH is currently traveling and I think extremely busy. Let me send a note to n8tiveattitude and I'll do the same to DsyneGrfix, that should work as DG is co-founder of #XtremeFractals along with GypsyH

Daeurth In reply to fraterchaos [2012-01-20 22:26:52 +0000 UTC]

Okay, thanks. If you think of anyone else let me know. also do you think that tweak is too close to the original?

fraterchaos In reply to Daeurth [2012-01-20 22:38:52 +0000 UTC]

I sent anote to n8tiveattitude, not sure if she will want to publicize it or not, and I also sent one to DsyneGrafix and asked if he could spread it through the group, but I suppose it is now up to them... I posted it in my own journal, so that may help some.

No, I didn't think it was too close... I'm guessing its from my "Unsafe from any viewpoint"? I have seen some tweaks that are nothing but a different point of view on the original... so I think yours is fine
