Ultrafractal 4.03 Here's a new version of the entry I sent in for last months Monthly Themed Challenge and - woohoo!! - it won! I've added a few things since the challenge: Some "mountains" made with Ron Barnett's sorta new "Landscape" ucl in the reb.ucl folder with a layer of a 3d plane (3d Mapping in the Standard.uxf folder - thanx, Frederik!) mapped Julia with Gaussian Integer.ucl faded in at the bottom right corner with masking. I added a touch of a bright sun peeking out from behind the clouds, too. And I cropped/re-framed the image thinner to give a better sense of movement to the tall "gladiolus stalk" doohickey that grows up and is trying to ascend to the Great Spirit thru the hole in the clouds that it is positioned under. Kind of a southwestern, Navajo vibe - Hope I did ok? Yup, always making with the "context"/scene stuff in my works, ain't I? Freaken heretic! lol The challenges are cool because they get us to consciously "make" an image rather than settling for "what the pc made" and we learn to do more things with our fractal programs that way. Let those folks who think "the pc does all the work" stick THAT in their pipe and smoke it! lol Thanks a TON for stopping by!
