Fellow fractal enthusiast PadleyWood has put me onto a great set of free Photoshop plugins from Redfield. The fractal imagery to the left was generated with Apophysis, then post-processed using Redfield's Lattice Composer. Check out PadleyWood's gallery of Redfieldized Apophsis renders here.
The folks at mental hygiene have published a brilliant howto, outlining the steps required to create your own post-it note mosaic. The technique was apparently dreamed up for an office prank, where coworkers rendered The King in post-its on an unwitting victim's wall. OK, it took me long enough, but I've finally modified nthd.org's turtle and L-system scripts to work in three dimensions. The turtle now rolls and pitches in addition to turning. This allows the script to render those three dimensional L-systems I've been dreaming about. I've uploaded a sample render of a 3D Hilbert curve to flickr:
These are just a couple of images I've generated with Apophysis, a free fractal flame editor for Windows (click on the images to see them full size). I discovered this wonderful tool while browsing groups at flickr. Check out this flickr pool dedicated to the amazing imagery people have created using Apophysis.
I've created a digital art photoset at flickr, and have uploaded some of my Photoshop art. I figure it's better to put it where someone might actually see it and (hopefully) enjoy it. This "cave lizard" series was created when I discovered the joys of Photoshop brushes. I was impressed by all the textures it's possible to achieve using brushes combined with the different blending modes.
Here's the fake tilt-shift photoshop tutorial, mentioned in my last post, taken to the next level. Jeff Sacilotto has applied the technique to video. You can check out his handiwork here. Neat-o.
