AYe, I did. I keep getting my images deformed, somehow. I never get the same thing in UF sigh... I guess I just need practice or something
Thread: New here | Forum: Fractals
Welcome! Aye,follow Firefly's advice! Show your stuff! Anything I can do to help, don't hesitate tp ring me up. I'm by far NOT the most talented guy around here. Heck, my stuff doesn't come close to that of others, but I like to help.
Thread: Professional Prints?????????? | Forum: Fractals
I usually use a plotter, with either glossy or Semi-satin matte paper. This means, of course, that I usually print more than one image at a time (or else you are throwing money away). In the long run, it saves you money, plus the print quality is superb. I'm lucky enough to have a store that gives those services a few minutes from my house. What this store does for a very little extra cash is to "laminate" the print (I don't know the real term) with a plastic coating that has a UV filter. It really goes a long way towards preserving the prints. Although ultimately, just like every photo or poster, they will fade in a matter of years. Specially if left in direct sunlight. Overall, the best thing to do is to try to keep your print coated with something to avoid ink evaporation and fading. I have found that a simple, very tight, framing can do a good job. Alas, not enough time has passed with any of my prints for me to really document its effect. Then again, I don't print on canvas, so all of this may not hold true for said material. I promise to let you know as soon as one of my friends or customers tells me his print has faded.
Thread: What do you expect from your fractals? | Forum: Fractals
BF: Symmetry does not necessarily equate into harmony, and harmony most definitely does not need symmetry. OMost objects look symmetrical because both sides are similar. But even in your own body, you know there's no real symmetry, just a resemblance drawn along a vertical axis. The semblance of linear symmetry (radial symmetry is another matter entirely) was caused chiefly for ease of movement, streamlining in an aquous environment, but the first living organism were not symmetrical. Take sponges, for example: one of the most ancient forms of animal life. Definitely not symmetrical. Cells themselves are not at all symmetrical. Sean - excellent work. I forgot to say so in my last post. "Touchstone" and "Sometimes the mirror does lie" are amazing! "Touchstone" is an excellent example of the look I strive to achieve. I take of my hat to you! Arista - nice work. Specially if you actually manage to get a sandwich out of them. You have to teach me that trick sometime.
Thread: What do you expect from your fractals? | Forum: Fractals
I see. Symmetry has never been one of my aims, so I find it interesting. My interest in fractals started mainly because of my biologist's background; I have learned thast indeed symmetry is more accidental, and not an evolutionary "goal", so to speak. But I do admit that some of the most beautiful things are of symmetrical nature, so you've got a good point there.
Thread: How do you decide that a fractal image is finished? | Forum: Fractals
It's very hard for me to know when a picture is finished. It's mainly the fact that I get tired. Every time I start a fractal, I have a very good idea of what I want to do, and the hardest part of the work is getting that (choosing/writing a formula for the first layer is the toughest step!). Since I'm always aiming for this "perfect" picture in my head, I never get to it, so basically there comes a point when I say "this as good as I'll manage"
Thread: Three new texture examples with UltraFractal | Forum: Fractals
Well, I've only been experimenting with fractals lately. Had to read a ton of stuff, and I still barely understand the mathematics behind it all (good thing my college has a good library!) So, yeah, a step-by-step would be very good! And Kudos on those images, they are amazing!
