Description
The wind flew through the eaves, awakening dust from the forest floor to shimmer in the light that so softly drifted from above. There exists no single word to describe that radiance in the English tongue, yet in Japanese there is: Komorebi.Related content

Thank you very much for including my work among them!

Very beautiful deviation. I like the mystic flows that swirl around bright stars over the clouds in this magic sky.
very well realised with great colors, I like the subject and the enchanting aspect of the realisation. It's like a beautiful nebula that elevate the spirit and make it fly around stars.
I remember of having seeing it one month after.

It was rendered in Chaotica, indeed.

I'm going to try and learn that software when I get a chance. There's a lot of cool stuff (like this) being made on it that I want to get into.Β

The flow reminds me of Van Gogh's "Starry Night." Very lovely creation.

Thank you! "Starry Night" was actually an inspiration for this piece, albeit the coloration and beauty Gogh applied far exceeds my own.

You're welcome! Both works of art are wonderful in their respective ways.

Some of those wisps are just ethereal - the middle to top right section in particular. Β The cloudy density patch in the middle left is also fantastic - you've done a very good job of balancing the cloud density with the darkness, and I don't find that a trivial thing to do in these types of fractals. Β It seems like you're using horseshoe on this judging by the patterns and how there's those rings around the bright stars -- and it seems ever slightly too strong, but that's some pretty absurd nitpicking on my end XD Β I'd be curious to see what that'd look like more zoomed out as well, the structure is very cool >.>

I'm honored for the compliments! Their ethereal quality is, in part, due to an underlying Gaussian transform which allowed for some depth which otherwise would have been quite lacking in the piece. I was going for a soft approach to the nebulae, as I do with most of mine, so blending was key, especially in regard to coloration -- that's why I chose a bluish hue for the outer rims of the star swirls; it fades better into the dark blue background. Also, I love the color blue, but we can ignore that fact for the present moment and pretend it was all a clever design decision. I actually made use of the exponential transform for this, though, I will admit, I stumbled upon its benefits through sampling various different transforms. Indeed, I had worried about its strength; the one variable is set at 0.7 currently, however I did try 0.6 and 0.8, believing the latter too weak and the former too strong, so I opted for a midway point. Looking at it now, I can see that 0.6 might have been better since the structure of the nebula itself would have been more pronounced while the swirls would have become more highly merged.

Thank you very much! It took quite some time to figure out how to make them, but I found the answer in replacing a Foci transform with an exponential one.
