Then I used a simple DE of concentric spheres, excluding the inner one from the Kaliset distortions. So it works much like an heigthmap of the 3D formula applied to the surface of the sphere, and also colored by it.

I believe Tolkien would have loved this image too! Title: Re: Matrioska Planetoid Post by: Kali on July 09, 2012, 04:48:26 PM Very nice! I believe Tolkien would have loved this image too! Thanks LhoghoNurbs :) And is nice to see you are not angry about my comments of your winner image, I hope you understood it's nothing personal, I was just defending my kind of fractal art, but I know I must relax a bit and not taking this things so seriously. Sorry if I offended you in some way, and as Kraftwerk said, don't take me so seriously :) Cheers, Title: Re: Matrioska Planetoid Post by: LhoghoNurbs on July 09, 2012, 06:06:48 PM Angry? No :) I think it is an advantage that the members of FractalForums are all different with different preferences. It will be disaster if we like the same!
Now back to your image. As I compare this planet with the other one I realize something new to me -- the scale of details affects the perception of the absolute size. I'm not sure I can express myself correctly, but the other planet looks much much bigger than this one (because the surface of the other planet is smooth, and I can see huge crease on the surface of this planet).

Yes, I understand what you mean. That's why I called this as a "planetoid", and the other one as a "world" ;) Title: Re: Matrioska Planetoid Post by: klixon on July 11, 2012, 12:33:41 AM Although i missed everything, it's good to see you kids getting along.

I agree :thumbsup1: damn, i need a new smiley, one that pets ( translated via dict.leo.org ) a sheep(-herd) :D :horsie: Title: Re: Matrioska Planetoid Post by: klixon on July 12, 2012, 02:20:21 AM I agree :thumbsup1: damn, i need a new smiley, one that pets ( translated via dict.leo.org ) a sheep(-herd) :D :horsie: Careful, Chris. You might say something you didn't intend to. Then again, I'd be all for it just to see you freely expressing yourself :) On topic: Beautiful image! Perfect balance of chaos and order, captured in a thrilling sensation of lighting. Well done! |
