Attached Link: Fractal Domains

Thanks!

It looks like emoticons do not work in signatures. I am using Firefox 1.5.0.1

Excellent!

Ahh! These will be archived. That is great. I like the idea that a year from now a new member can browse these archives.

There is a photo of cauliflower in the gallery with 8 comments and over 80 views. Someone posted a scanning microscope image of a golfball's surface awhile ago. These images are of interest to some and are a negligible effort to bypass for those not interested.

How long is the voting period going to be open?

No decision will ever be final. New software will be created. A different mix of people will join and leave the Renderosity community. Change happens. I vote for more. More diversity! Use the thumbnails to pick and choose. Filter to your heart's content.

Maybe there should be a choice in the Genre: drop down list during uploading to specify "No Post-Processing".

LOL!! Oh, please tell us more!

No more layer merge modes. No fbm. No Celtic knots. No transformations. No external gradients in Apo. All add-ons? Better to allow more rather than less!

Is it postwork if you are using a newer version of software with more features? Those added features are postwork to someone that has not upgraded yet. I do understand the artistic and intellectual challenge of limiting yourself to a certain set of tools but software's capabilities are a moving target. What is currently postwork may not be with the next version upgrade. Ultra Fractal did not always have the features of the current version. I guess we would need separate galleries for each software upgrade (not!).

I think it falls somewhere within the realm of celtic knots, kaleidoscopes, XD and spirograph.

I will try posting an image and see what happens.

I will abide by the decisions of the moderators.

I think Garth's point about exported 3D meshes in Bryce is valid. As devil's advocate, do XD images without obvious fractal structures belong in the fractal gallery? I would prefer to see them here, but would that be following current guidelines? Do Celtic knots from UF belong here? Do lkmitch's great images belong here? I think that they do belong here. That broadens the concept of this gallery to include mathematical art.
I would like a clear ruling on this point.
Even more specifically, I would like to know if KnotPlot objects rendered in Bryce could be posted here.
One other point, some of the procedural textures in Bryce have an uncanny resemblance to the SFBM ucl textures.

Does the rendering engine or the content determine the gallery? When Xenodream is able to export 3D objects in the next version (hopefully) and that is rendered in Bryce, where does it belong? The flip side is that I can create an image in Ultral Fractal that has no repeating elements. Does the Fractal Gallery need to expand to include "Mathematical" art, whatever that is?
