Description
Ultrafractal 3.02
Since there's a big hurricane fixing to knock on my doorstep 2nite, I figured the occasion called for a spiral - though this one spins clockwise rather than counter-clockwise. Minor detail - lol.
This one is an attempt to emulate the styles of two great fractal artists that I admire - Gilles Nadeau and Mint - and a bit of a return to more fractal roots. The brown shades reflect the brown hues Gilles often uses and I like a lot and the texturing uses the "fbm Popcorn Trap" ucl by Mark Townsend of Apophysis fame that I admired in viewing Mint's excellent work over the years. The base formula is "Cubic Julia2" in the "spr.ufm" folder and there's a layer of "Doodads" ucl by Dennis Magar in the "ldm.ucl" folder overlaid. Wow, check this...only FOURTEEN layers! I be slackin'! lol
Thanks for stopping by and I'll "see" y'all when they fix the electricity around here - took 6 days last time but I should be able to check in from work maybe mid-week. Provided I still have a roof 2morrow - knock on wood! Take care, everyone and stay safe!
