Description
Ultrafractal 3.02 - contrast sharpened in PaintshopPro7 - signature added with Photoshop7
Saw a show on Discovery where they determined that Horus was an actual person who was deified by the Pharaoh because of his lengendary skill in geometry and design. It was Horus who designed the ancient pyramids and many of the monuments in ancient Egypt, using his skills in geometry, and the beginnings of algebra. From these, much later, came the theorems of Pythagorus - from which came, 2000 years later, the fractal geometry of Benoit Mandelbrot. Hmm..."Horus, Great Great Grand-daddy of the fractal"?
All the 96 layers of this image used the "Gnarl" formula with the Tapestry-x, Orbit Traps and Thin Orbit Traps 2 outside coloring ucl's. The textures are a mix of 3dSFBM, mt-Cluster, 3d Backdrops and Voroni ucl's among others with the mt-Pixel formula. The pyramids are made using the Platonic Solids mapping in the "sam.uxf" folder, the golden rim uses the Circle Limit mapping in the "plk-uxf" folder and the rounded shapes are made using the Glass Hemisphere mapping in the "Standard.uxf folder.
Thanks for stopping by! :>)

Your work is so inspiring, I like the mettallics and the form of what to me looks like a cameo, the jewel hidden inside the metal. The touch of landscape in the "Hook" is very well done,and the eye is very stylized and the centre piece as it deserves to be.The framing is perfect and the story gives a glimpse of Horus, who as you say,had a brilliant mathematical mind. I have a great interest in Egyptology as well, and I appreciate the work and design that has gone into this very intricate piece.The work is so , so far above the medium, My compliments.

This is a great image, Rikk. It demonstrates that with fractals images can assume a real meaning, and that they can be more than an interesting abstract union of forms and colors. Beatiful work! I've only a little note to say... Antialias can be better; I see the aliasing of pixels, especially in pyramyds and in the gold circle... But my vote remains!
ead
Wow! Incredible! Speechless! Thanks!

I like the flamingo on the front. I'm afraid that I'll be lynched, but I think that "Gnarl-ffle the Garthag!" is a more interesting image. Again, I am running for cover, but I would be tempted to use shadows in the basket thingy, behind the circle limit thingy, to add a little depth. While I'm thinking about it, I wonder if a touch more detail in the green sphere thingy would draw my eye from the flamingo to the green sphere and then to the pyramids. This is all easy for me to say. I no longer have the patients for an image like this. Well done, Frodo. Sorry I didn't look at this sooner. :?)
