Description
Luckily he gave this to me before he passed away.
Created with Apophysis; no post work except for added text.
A new direction for me.
When viewed full view, this image is 20% of the rendered image size (height/width) and is only 4% of the rendered image area. The render has much, much more detail.

That's pretty close. If the image was zoomed it affects the time to render drastically.
Best regards,

Thanks Renee. I just heard from a guy that received a 24" X 36" canvas and he said he is overjoyed . He said the amount of detail was way more than he expected.

Amazing piece, one of the best fractals I've seen in my life. Great work
PS: Does Apophysis work on mac?

Wow. This fractal is overwhelming. I actually thought about creating a fractal art that resembles the universe the moment I learned about fractals, but I guess you did it already and I still have no idea how to create such beautiful works from apo.

Hey- a friend of mine was wondering how long it took you to make this. I'm thinking a week at least.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, no. a couple od days on and off.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
how many hours- approximately?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ha Ha. You want to win this bet! Ha Ha Maybe 8-10. You must remember, I might spend 2 or 3 days and not produce anything I like. Sometimes longer. Also, my standards are much higher now because my "audience" expects a lot more of me. This is good! It keeps me motivated to do only my best. So what you or someone else might consider a really beautiful image I will never use. I want the "exceptional" image and sometimes I strike out because my audience doesn't like the image as much as I do. Does this make sense? So it is not just the time to make this but all the discards and wasted hours trying to come up with something at the level I would put on. I am sure I am not alone in this.
Best regards,
Tom

Well... it wasn't quite a bet- more like a friendly game

No, not painting. All done within Apophysis, a fractal program. Mostly, it involves numbers, settings, parameters, color gradients, etc. and the manipulation of triangles that alter the image in various ways. Not necessary to be great at math.

Interesting. So like that old kids toy- Spirographs? I used to play with those and they made very similar images.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup, I had one too.

It was very fun- does this program ever like glitch so it simulates the wheel coming out of the loop?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not that I know of but there is always a first.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That would be great if they had a special setting just for that sort of simulation. Or they could just re-release the original spirographs: the new ones are really stupid w/o all the options for creativity.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, that could be a great computer program - electronic Spirilgraph where you add various size wheels and vary the colors.

Definitly (I don't think I spelled that right)! Are you into making computer programs? That's one of the things that I havn't tried yet.

What? This is simply unbelievable! Our world without art, just how dull would it be?! Thanks so much for putting the time and effort into doing this! It's stunning!!
