Another UF bunch of flowers. I'm so enamored of some of the UF flowers I've seen, like those done by the incredible :iconcoby01: and those by :iconvelvet--glove:. I know I'm setting my sights pretty high, but it sure is fun trying to get there.

Made in UltraFractal v5 and postwork done in PhotoPlus X5.

Full view for detail.

This is a fractal? Man, this is unlike any fractal I've ever seen!

Yes, it was made using UltraFractal 5. The flowers are a result of the color algorithm which can be applied as shapes. The formula is probably some kind of julia. I would have to look at the params, but most of these flower type fractals begin with some kind of julia and then either orbit traps or a supershapes color algorithm will give the flower shape.

I hope you enjoyed it, regardless!

I know nothing about fractals, so pretty much all of that flew over my head with a whooshing sound. All I know is that it's incredible that this can even be done with a code instead of individually plotting each point. I guess from your comment that you can make these things, in which case how did you learn? They're just so cool.

LOL!! Yes, it is rather mind boggling. I don't even begin to pretend I understand the math or how all this works. All I know is that once you get used to the software, you can create an amazing array of images. I literally have thousands of fractals on my various computers. There are a quite a few free fractal generating programs. One of the most popular is called Apophysis 7X and it makes a special type of fractal called a "flame" (don't ask me why). But it's totally free and there are a ton of free resources for it, including tutorials, parameter packs (a group of text params which make the fractal), plugins (variations that can be applied to the transforms, which are triangles. I know that sounds weird, but trust me), gradient packs (the colors used in the fractal image), scripts (which can be run to automatically create a flame). Also, there is a group on RedBubble.com, another art site, that I am an in absentia co-host, called "Apophysis Tutorial Fun" and the whole point of the group is to do a new Apophysis tutorial every other week or so. It's very interactive and all of the members can offer tips and encouragement. A lot of people have gone from total newbies to turning out some really stunning work. So, don't be intimidated by the software. Once you get familiar with it, it's a whole lot of fun to create fractals. As you change the variations, variables, weights, filters, gradients, the image changes at the same time. It's like an animated fractal light show sometimes. It's like a flashback to my college years in the late 60s and early 70s.

I wrote a pretty basic primer on fractals for total laymen to kind of explain what they are and how they are created. This is the link to that primer: [link]

If you're really interested in learning how to make them, let me know and I can send you some links to free fractal software and to some of the tutorials and other resource sites. The flower image above was made in ultraFractal 5, a very powerful fractal generating software, but it is not free. I think it's the only fractal software I have ever paid for. And I have 6-7 fractal programs on my computer.

Goodness! I think I'll wait until after college. May I call on your expertise when that time arrives?
