Description 'She sells sea shells by the sea shore'


I'm really happy with how this one turned out - its my first realistic looking fractal done in MBF. To me it almost looks like a photograph taken in really shallow water.

If you like it, there's also a widescreen version , with more, smaller shells.

(made in MBF, porkony, no postwork, I give *MindBogglingFractals permission to post this deviation to their gallery.)

Nice gradients. Very natural looking. I'd be tempted to add a little texture to it just to highlight certain areas and to add to the realism. Although I mainly use Ultra Fractal and add texture in that program I'm not above highlighting and adding texture after rendering

That's a really good idea I can't really touch this one, because its a club submission and we submit the raw png's, so others can play with them, but I'll give it a go on the widescreen one

Its hard to believe they are the result of one big mathematical equation

Beautiful, these things are quite mesmerizing. Looks like a treassure too, coins in a chest (there's pirates by the horizon....)
