Description My first attempt with Incendia 1.3. Excellent fractal generator, but 2 days to render an image... Wow! ... and I thought I had a decent computer.
I suspect that soon I shall need a more powerful processor than my old Core Duo ...

*************



"...Well do I remember the night of the great Aurora, when over the swamp played the shocking corruscations of the demon light. After the beam came clouds, and then I slept.

And it was under a horned waning moon that I saw the city for the first time. Still and somnolent did it lie, on a strange plateau in a hollow between strange peaks. Of ghastly marble were its walls and its towers, its columns, domes, and pavements...

...They say there is no land of Lomar, save in my nocturnal imaginings; that in these realms where the Pole Star shines high, and red Aldebaran crawls low around the horizon, there has been naught save ice and snow for thousands of years of years..."

Polaris

H.P. Lovecraft



***********************


"...Nunca olvidaré la noche de la gran aurora, cuando jugaban sobre el pantano los horribles centelleos de la luz demoníaca. Después de los destellos llegaron las nubes, y luego el sueño.

Y bajo una luna menguante y cornuda, vi la ciudad por primera vez. Se asentaba, callada y soñolienta, sobre una meseta que se alzaba en una depresión entre extraños picos. Sus murallas eran de horrible mármol, al igual que sus torres, columnas, cúpulas y pavimentos...

...Dicen que no existe ninguna tierra de Lomar, salvo en mis nocturnos desvaríos; que en esas regiones donde la Estrella Polar brilla en lo alto, y donde el rojo Aldebarán se arrastra lentamente por el horizonte, no ha habido otra cosa que hielo y nieve durante milenios..."

Great fractal A really nice vision of a city, fitting to a Lovecraftian tale.

Hi, Your image is very very nice. I think (my opinion) that it would look more consistent without the moon , the red and the white dot (stars). Because they break the whole of the thing.

hiramf In reply to isissousa [2010-04-16 13:33:39 +0000 UTC]

You're right. What happened is that I was trying to represent the vision of the Lovecraft narration and it mentions the moon like you see in the image, the Polar star, Aldebaran (red star) ... But what I agree with you say.

Rendering time is the main problem of Incendia. I tried it out, but returned to Apophysis, I think, it has more possibilities to make different pics.
But I must say, this pic is not so bad!

hiramf In reply to jost1 [2010-04-15 01:20:18 +0000 UTC]

That's right... but I'm trying get all the possibilities of this software ... The truth appart the time it takes, I like the final results I get.

Super work!!! Yes Incendia tends to be slower even than Apophysis.

hiramf In reply to Zoozyq [2010-04-14 04:38:03 +0000 UTC]

The truth, visions and concepts of Lovecraft are very difficult to represent. There have been many films, drawings, figures, etc. based on their stories or books... until now I have not seen one that does justice. In his stories he leaves a lot to the reader's imagination and even the best special effects can't to reach it. Do not you think?

Zoozyq In reply to hiramf [2010-04-14 14:57:06 +0000 UTC]

That is so often the case...and I seem to like what I see in my imagination better most of the time, anyway...
