ĆĀ Ed Algra, born in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 1930, now living near Rotterdam.ĆĀ My education was a technical one, I came by accident to artistry, although I always had much interest in art, photography and music.ĆĀ
IĆ¢ā¬ā¢m a retired chemical engineer, worked at a research institute on mechanical properties of plastics and composite materials.ĆĀ I heard of fractals for the first time in the late eighties, and then read the well known books of Prof. Hans Lauwerier and other authors on this subject.ĆĀ At that time I also attended a Fractal symposium at the Technical University Delft, where BenoĆĀ®t Mandelbrot and some other prominent authors revealed the secrets of this new mathematical world.ĆĀ The pictures they showed made an overwhelming impression.ĆĀ Years after that, after my retirement and the connection to the web in 2005, I discovered what had happened in the meantime, the birth of a new kind of art, based on fractal concepts.ĆĀ Then it became a creative hobby for me. Both the mathematical and the artistic side of it have my interest.ĆĀ ĆĀ Especially Ultra Fractal offers the possibility to write your own fractal math codes, and I love it to do so.ĆĀ I started Renderosity uploading on instigation of Arend Nijdam, aka Ć¢ā¬ÅFractelaarĆ¢ā¬ in September 2005.

Ondanks mijn verslaving aan Apophysis, voel ik me aangetrokken door deze software ... UF uw textures zijn zo fijn en gedetailleerd. De kleuren komen overeen met subtiele gradiƫnten. De formulieren die u krijgt zijn zo buitengewoon. Ik heb nog nooit gebruik gemaakt van een laag voor 4 jaar nu en ik vraag me af of dit noodzakelijk is met UF. Uw titel stokken zo goed voor dit type afbeelding. Deze software heeft het nodig veel formulieren? Vergeef mijn nieuwsgierigheid. De kwaliteit van uw schilderijen maakt me hoop voor uitstekende resultaten van kleur en licht. Ik hang niet aan UF XD ... is het passend om mijn manier van denken. U kunt antwoorden mij in uw taal. Het zal meer accuraat dan Engels! FC

Wonderful textures, best seen in zoomed full view. Lovely work on this, reminds me of some of the polymer jewelry with this metallic sheen that I've seen around our neighborhood.
