Futurescape | DIFS pong with @Mandelsage - 004

in #art7 years ago

Head over to @mandelsage 's post at https://steemit.com/art/@mandelsage/pentanonoclus-or-difs-pong-with-welshpixie-001 to read more detail about what a dIFS pong is, but in a nutshell, two people 'ping-pong' a fractal made only from dIFS formulae back and forth, changing it very slightly each time. It's great practice at navigating and creating fractal images, and produces pretty pictures!

He didn't change the formula from my previous one, so since they hadn't been changed since the first fractal, I figured I'd swap one out to bring something new into the equation and then see what I could find to render out.

I switched the PenN-gonIFS formula for Seashell, and then started playing.

Initial results weren't promising, but I kept tweaking and playing with the camera angles, and suddenly this pattern popped out that reminded me of a cityscape. Definitely something I could play with!

After some adjustments to the lighting and cycling through a few diffuse colour maps, I settled on this, and just added in a reflection to make the walls look metallic and glossy.

If you'd like to tweak this fractal, here are the parameters to load into Mandelbulb3D;

Hello! I find your post valuable for the art community! Thanks for the great post! ARTzone is now following you! ALWAYs follow @artzone and the artzone tag, and support our artists!

Came over from @mandelsage 's page! I make fractals as well and enjoy meeting all the steemit fractal heads. This is a fun concept! I love MB3D and just may have to ping pong something out as well.

Yeah! I'm happy to engage in a dIFS pong with you if you need a pong buddy :D

Awesome! I'll see what I can cook up and reach out to you :)

Aaahh, excellent =) ... And seashell is one I haven't played with much either.

Same! Looking forward to seeing what you do with it :D
