Thank you! I realised how different it was when I saw it in the 'latest' stream

Thanks, Michael! I felt that the textural quality needed a more subdued palette

Nice work my friend!

I must say the texture used here and the minimalistic use of one shape, a circle, is the most modern looking of all the ones past- getting 'in there with the kids of today', buddy?

You've picked up exactly on my own thoughts about this: it looks like a texture, but is actually just part of the fractal. The same variation producing circles and squares. Incidentally, did you know that the geometric solution(s) to the problem of squaring the circle was actually communicated via crop circles ? Wonderful...

Glad to have had my appreciations appreciated!

Also, you have once again brought a very interesting thing to my attention in the form of 'squaring the circle'. very interesting indeed. I will read up on it a bit more when I am not so tired from work. The fact that the equation or non-mathematical method of forming a circle with the same area of a given square is increduility inducing indeed!

Mian thing is, though- nice deviation textures and I am much surprised to learn that they are actually part of the fractal, rather than something added externally. It gives it a new organicism (yes- I just made up that word) now that I know!

You're not alone - I just got caught out on one too Thought I'd coined 'ouroboric' and had it pointed out that an entry existed in Wiktionary

Wow- what does ouroboric mean then, friend? =O

IDeviant In reply to tractern [2007-11-20 10:37:50 +0000 UTC]

It means "as, or akin to, an ouroboros "

I SO LOVE THIS!

Awesome tweaks to something I know nothing about but I'm certain it was fab to start with!

Thanks for sharing this one, it is fantastic! Makes my thought bubbles that are in my head, brew with newness.

D'you know, I just knew this would be up your street I think it's the fact that it seems to be back-dropped with a texture (and you use them to such wonderful effect), although it's actually a pure fractal!

I'm so glad you thought I would think that! I know I'm quiet behind the scenes a lot now but
there are some of you guys that I can't do without. and one of these dayssssssssssss I'm
going to learn this damned program. It will take me 2 years to figure out how to drive it, I'm sure!

Wow, this piece is truly fantastic. It caught my eye as I was browsing the main gallery and I had to take a closer look. The design kind of reminds me of moons floating in a serene sky. (Of course, I've not really slept either, so that may make no sense.) Either way, it's a beautiful piece!

IDeviant In reply to Alterren [2007-11-17 16:23:54 +0000 UTC]

Thank you indeed I actually had another similar render and waited for a while. Now I see this version as far the better of the two and wonder why it hadn't leaped out in the first instance And I agree about the moons

Alterren In reply to IDeviant [2007-11-17 17:52:13 +0000 UTC]

You're most welcome!

You know, I do the same thing. I often render in 'batches' (several variations on the same original pattern) and then play with gradient and transformation tweaking and take the best results, play with them again, and finally end up with one or two good renders. It's amazing though how it can change from one thing to another just by moving a few things around. (Heh, sorry for the book of a comment! )

No worries, it's good to know that someone else has a similar workflow! 'Sitting' on material for a while helps to sort the wheat from the chaff

Yes, I think that's closer than my own idea of Monty Python (and by implication, Surrealism)
