Description
After several rebuilds, I started to see some light on this so I stayed up all night to finish it. Seemed like an eternity to find the proper textures on this but I didn't want to stop when things were going in the right direction. Sorry for the file size, but the jpeg kept killing the red in this, regardless of the compression ratio used. Probably be my last fractal for a bit. I want to get out with the camera more and thinking of a terragen landscape sometime soon.Ultra Fractal, 16 layer Julia z^4 (compatability folder).
Full view for all the details.

Thanks, that's kinda what I had in mind as a goal when I was making this.

looks very beautiful.
I have been experimenting with fractals, but I have a hard time with them in Ultra fractal.

Thank you. With UF, the key is layering properly. If you have any photoshop experience, a lot of that transfers into UF in much the same way. Check out *Ultra-Fractal also if you haven't yet. They have some good tutorials available that will help.

It was almost a fractal space scene at one moment then I found the feather textures and had to use them.

The one you showed me on MSN if I'm correct? Anyways, I really like the final result! The colors are perfect and it's just great all around.

Very sparkley. I love the red - so rich and vibrant and set off nicely with the sparkling and all. If I squint my eyes I can almost see the motion of the sparkling. Great transparent work and I love the textures.

Thanks. I think I even used a bit of Subtraction on this to provide a little depth.
So does this mean you're going to be posting some of your fractals soon?

I won't be able to post any fractals until I get a new computer.

I've never used one but most people say Mac's are the best for graphics. I'm a Dell person myself. I've owned three of them and never had problems with the hardware. I know that when I get ready to buy, I spend close to a month doing a lot of internet searching to find the best deals and usually it's Dell with the best prices. I know someone that owns Sony and swears by them, but the price is kinda high. Regardless, the prices of Ram have really dropped. I have a gig and it's dropped even more since I bought this three years ago.

Thanks.
Only thing I've been able to make that was any bit inspiring was the sunset image I made after Damphyr posted that tut on the digital pages. Haven't been able to make anything in terragen that's worth posting lately.

Were you inspired by Nightlife by = creativ82 ? I find some similarities.

That's a fabulous image but no, I didn't work with that in mind. The lighting in this was kinda modeled after a lot of what's being created by some of the fractal artists here. I try to be unique but when the image didn't have the lighting in it, the whole thing was really plain and boring. Before I found the last few layers the image was very soft and nebulous which fit the lighting. I deleted the lighting after I found the sharper edges and realized it needed the lighting so I put it back.
Ultra Fractal gives you the ability to stretch each layer which I did to a little amount. I couldn't get the image to fit the print ratio without overstretching it so I rendered it thin and added the frame afterwards. Looking back on it, I like the way it looks to help focus the attention vertically. I might try that technique some more in the future because it has such a cool look to it.

Thank you. UF confused me for about a year then one day it started clicking. Now I'm learning little things that make big differences, as well as slowing down and putting a lot more time into each UF image I make.

You're welcome. Yeh, I suppose it just takes time and effort, that's why I admire work done on it, I lack the patience to even attempt it myself!

This makes me think of a long string of galaxies, large and small. The red background is a brilliant choice, it accentuates its beautifully flowing shapes and at the same time the lights as well. It feels like I'm looking at an infinite number of worlds with an infinite number of possibilities. Great stuff!
