Journal
A Persnickety Person's Prose On Poking Parameters
So, poca2hontas asked me if I'd be interested in writing a journal for the group, and once I got over the initial shock of realising that there are people out there who think I actually know what I'm doing (ha, I fooled you all!), I thought it'd be good to explain the steps I take in tweaking a fractal.
Let's start by finding a fractal you like. There are plenty out there with params included, and I actually have a folder in my faves just for fractal params. It'd be a good idea to build a little cache of your own.
For this demo, I'll just use one I made earlier:
:origin()/pre00/e189/th/pre/i/2017/166/6/e/tempered_in_the_heart_of_a_star_by_holmes_ja-dbctjnl.jpg)
Here's the parameters if you want to follow along (though I would encourage you to not do EXACTLY what I do, as tweaking is all about experimentation). [Params] Just copy that and paste it directly into Apophysis.
Let's go ahead and look at what makes this thing tick.
So, we open the editor window, and as we c

A Vacation Report
Hello again 
!
NOTE: As in the previous years I'm still not telling where this is - feel free to guess about that
--- Sooo, now I want to solve the puzzle ---
And yes, it was Ireland, simply.
Some years ago I was in Scotland too, and yes, I can understand everyone who sees similarities
23°C, yes!
Native's statement.
That sounds like a good place to escape from a country where the most people (but not oneself) are only happy about a summer when there is sun every day, and >30°C.
Well, maybe one need to make some compromise in terms of landscape:
[Wicklow Mountains - You were right, Sabine62]
However, there is also a touch of romantics for some people:
[Glendalough]

With a bit of searching one may find some manorial style of culture:
[Kilkenny Castle]
Or, in an older variant:
[Near Killarney]
[First picture: Beara Peninsula, Second picture: Connemara]
And, if that's not lonesome enough ...
[The Burren]

Ok. For now let's start with the very beginning. I became addicted in fractals --- ages ago. Probably in the early 1990s if not earlier. Of course at that ancient times the computers did have certain limitations. The first pictures needed a day or so for e.g. 80x60 pixels of 2 colors. Fast-escaping formulas of course. I left the path, and came back - again and again. At the first years it has been more interesting to manipulate formulas than to create art. So the maximum what could result were pictures like my current ID (which is of course a manipulation). But finally I started tough to try to bring more quality in the pictures. So I think I should take the consequence, and go public. No fear - I will not upload more pics from the middle ages  . It just may happen that I will not be able to refrain some pics from the UF era, or some simple but unusual shapes: It seams that there are still some lovers of minimal art. I hope I will not confuse you too much with wandering through the decades. However it may happen that there will not alwas be the newest artwork in my uploads. I don't know whether I'm an artist - please decide for yourselves. Finally there is of course the quite hope that there are a few people who like one or another of the pics. |
