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! :>)

Rick, I actually saw the thumbnail of this on someones home page and had to come see it. He was so right to fave it. This is the most beautiful and arresting UF image I have seen, (and I have seen a lot, of course). You are a true master of UF. This is exquisite and would make wonderful art to hang in a museum in Egypt! Lea
