Description So I still can't figure out how to make those perfect shell/bones and other perfectly symmetrical, "organic" forms from scratch that I've probably seen several hundred renders of to date. I've been pulling my hair out for an entire week with several formulas I know are capable of such shapes.Β  Anywho, this is something I guess. Just a single ABoxPlatinum render.

Enjoy!

This is really cool.Β  I feel like there's little eyes peaking out at me through the fog.Β  I think it is a great piece of artwork, but I do like my art symmetrical!Β  GREAT texture.Β  don't give up!

Thank you! The texturing and colors was one of the hardest parts (as anybody knows). I'm glad it came out well, and I definitely won't be giving up anytime soon! So much inspiration around here!

Be kind to what's left of your hair and sneak a peek into params that do what you are looking for
This one may not be what you want, but it Γ­s a really nice render!

Thanks, Sabine! And yes I've been opening many parameter sets since I started and even tweaking them as I go! It's another story to try and replicate everything just so though! For example, I have become immensely inspired by one of Len's "rot boxes" which was just a simple _rotate + Abox + Julia on...That's only the 9 sliders, and I still can't for the life of me get anything close to it!

Took me half a year to understand a little bit how things work! But once you understand what the sliders do approximately...Β  YAY! It's so worth it biting the bullet!
And the rest is really learning too. The rotbox thing for instance... I know the scale of the abox has to be negative... -1.2 is a good starting point. And you need to set the R bailout and Iterations rather high to get a good result. But I find them difficult too: I get results which make me think I am on the right path, but not for nothing haven't I posted any yet When I see what Len and Schmiegel can do with it, I am in deep awe!

Nice work! Try to set the scaling from the AboxP to a negative value e. g. 1.6 or so and then rotate it, you will get out shapes easier

Thanks for the tip, Jorge! Yeah, I've been opening up a ton of parameters just to see the -/+ valuesΒ  of all the different sliders, and of course playing with them too. This is somewhere in the -2 range actually. Thanks again!

oh it does look like bark, or fungi - very textual! Β Actually it kinda reminds me of cork too, nice!

Thanks, Audre! I actually made this at work so I only had the stock maps for difffuse. Glad to hear it came out well!

You did great - Β especially with limited resources!

Feel free to use any of my work as a map if you like. No need to say anything about it or give credit.Β

A curious design! Though you're not yet an expert with organics, I'm sure that you come to be soon enough. Well done, yet again.

Wow! If ABoxPlatinum can do that, I'll have to try it! Lovely colours and textures.

Swoopswatkill In reply to ellarien [2014-07-12 19:27:48 +0000 UTC]

Indeed! There are I think something like 15 different controls for this formula. So the shapes are almost infinite! And thank you; I'm glad you like it!
