Description
F l o u r i s h"Water is the gift of life"
This picture shows the raw power of Ultra-Fractal as one of the leading programs a fractal artist could ever use.
Flourish Is one of my bests so far. I said I would do better than even the last one and I didn't stop until the job was done.
I tried to make this one as real as Possible even finding a Formula for the water drops Pfj.ucd
I could have used photoshop to make the water drops look real, but it would take away from it being a true fractal.it contains a total of 7 layers, and 5 of them using tma.ucd - Doodads II
. It took about 20 min to get the shape and about 2 hours to think of a good name and title
I hope you all Enjoy this Project and get new Ideas from it
Special thanks to Deviant Art for making this a Daily Deviation

See you got DD, for this one! Congratulations. This has been sitting in my Watch for forever, finally found time to get around to

Hey Thanks, I just stick to basic formulas, mostly TMA, or SAM, But I think my Next Project will be MAC
You keep up the good work Yourself

Don't think I've ever looked into SAM...might try it today.

Fractal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Jump to: navigation, search
The Mandelbrot set, named after its discoverer, is a famous example of a fractal.A fractal is a geometric object which is rough or irregular on all scales of length, and therefore appears to be 'broken up' in a radical way. Fractals can be most simply defined as images that can be divided into parts, each of which is similar to the original object. Fractals are said to possess infinite detail, and some of them have a self-similar structure that occurs at different levels of magnification. In many cases, a fractal can be generated by a repeating pattern, in a typically recursive or iterative process. The term fractal was coined in 1975 by Benoรฎt Mandelbrot, from the Latin fractus or "broken". Before Mandelbrot coined his term, the common name for such structures (the Koch snowflake, for example) was monster curve.
Fractals of many kinds were originally studied as mathematical objects. Fractal geometry is the branch of mathematics which studies the properties and behavior of fractals. It describes many situations which cannot be explained easily by classical geometry, and has often been applied in science, technology, and computer-generated art. The conceptual roots of fractals can be traced to attempts to measure the size of objects for which traditional definitions based on Euclidean geometry or calculus fail.

How neat, I had a feeling such art existed, I wasn't sure how, or who invented it. It's really a new thing for me to see math and art come together.

Would you like to know
The most characteristic property of fractals is that they are generally irregular (not smooth) in shape, and thus are not objects definable by traditional geometry. That means that fractals tend to have significant detail, visible at any arbitrary scale; when there is self-similarity, this can occur because magnification simply shows similar pictures. Such sets are usually defined instead by recursion.
For example, a normal Euclidean shape, such as a circle, looks flatter and flatter as it is magnified. At infinite magnification it would be impossible to tell the difference between the circle and a straight line. Fractals do not exhibit this property. The conventional idea of curvature, which represents the reciprocal of the radius of an approximating circle, cannot usefully apply because it scales away. Instead, with a fractal, increasing the magnification reveals more detail that was previously invisible.
The defining characteristics of fractals, while intuitively appealing, are remarkably hard to condense into a mathematically precise definition. Mandelbrot defined fractal as "a set for which the Hausdorff-Besicovitch dimension strictly exceeds the topological dimension". For an entirely self-similar fractal, the Hausdorff dimension is equal to the Minkowski-Bouligand dimension.

Let me try to paraphrase what you were saying, and let me know if you concur.
Fractal art usually has more detail than other art, at any viewing distance because of repeated patterns.
I dont understand what you mean by sets being defined by recursion though.
Thank you so much for all of the comments and +favs, that was very considerate.
Here is another question:
How are fractal images composed?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
LOL , did you go to the link I had sent you ?
Another way to better understand is going to Download Ultra Fractal, and try to create things.
I can teach you how to draw just as good as I can, its a lot of fun
You see , its all based on a Math Eq, They are math Formulas put into an Image, Therefor it is never ending , you can keep zooming in over and over, years apon end , and it will be apart of the same math Formula, and the same pattern, But not the same image, You see within the math formula, you can only do so much < Granted the center of this pictre is not as Realistic as maybe something you would do in photoshop , but I think why I got the DD, and why many fractal Artist enjoy this, is because , in a Fractal you dont have total control , you dont draw, All you do is Zoom in , and if your not zooming in , you are adding a Mathematical Equation, that is a Geometrical Shape that is THEN put into the Form of an Image. I created Layers in the right way using Mathematical Formulas and Outside layers to mimic (In This Case ) a Flower. programs such as Ultra Fractal help you achive this by doing a lot of the math for you , HOWEVER, you can do it yourself , But you would have to be very skilled in math to do so , some artists do. Just for fun LOL
But all and ALL its just Math that is being calculated and put into an Image form on your computer,
you can not Draw however you can change a part of the Equation to Fit inside the Formula to Some what look like what ever it is you are trying to Create.
Does that Explain it ?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Great explanation, I had a feeling that the images were generated with equations. My teacher last year in Math Analysis showed us a picture of a imperfect butterfly he drew with a math equation. It was amazing to me that he did it all with a simple equation of sorts. Your illustration is definitely more complex than my teachers, it amazes me now that that was created with equations. Amazing.
Thank you for all of the great comments, encouragement, and shared knowledge.

Lol, i love how you say that the actual piece didnt take long, but it took you twice as long to name it. Isnt that true for so many of the deviations on here? you are not alone ^_~
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
LOL I didnt think I was the only one. But yeah , I will just look at something and try so hard, AND It makes harder when its somethign ABSTRACT so you dont have anything to much to base it on . but this was not that hard , but still a Challenge the whole way
THank you very much for the comment Kim
