Are you a process or result orientated person?  What would be the positive/negative side to each?

Interesting question... Why should you be one or the other? You need a good process to get a good result, but in the end it's the result that counts. So you do need a good process to get a good result, although a "good" process may be completely different for two different people. Which automatically leads to the fact that the negative is being 100% process or 100% result. You need a bit of both worlds ;-)

Very tue!  I belive a combo is best.  Some seem to believe & or be disappointed when they find out that an image was not completely calculated out mathmatically. I put a lot of stock in effort.  For example there are programs that with 2 clicks you will get a fracta image.  Not knowing anything of the why's of it!  I have to admit find that a lil disingenuous.  Maybe as disingenuous as some may find my creations.  embarrass wink

Ho, it's simple ! Demonstration :

Amazing : The process is very interesting, even if the result is really bad (for a violin song).

Amazing : Both the process and the result is good.

Bleh ... (yawn!) : The result is certainly good and exactly how it's supposed to be played but the process ... okay, it's pachelbel canon in D, so what ?

I dont see how it has to be an either/or question. it all about balance. this very philosphy would work wonders accross the world. but alas, intellegence isnt very popular.

ker2x  you bring about several great points.  I guess it would depend on the idividuals interests/focus.

Very true Jameses.  No one should take an easy way out.  Each individual has differering capacities & I believe would should challenge ourselves.

I think I am both, which is annoying!

Isn't fractal art literally all about the iterative process?    So, my process is to find a good process in order to get results...  So, does that make me results-oriented?

About fractals ...
I'm interested in computer generated fractal.
That mean, for me, that a specific process exist :
- it must be computer generated
- it must be ... a fractal !
- a home made program is prefered, but it's not mandatory

A enjoy watching nice result. But if the process isn't respected i'm not interested.
When i see an awesome fractal my first question is "how ?"
- how is it possible to do something so nice just by using some mathematic tricks ?
- how can i do it myself ?
- how much time does it took to render ?

About photoshoped fractal, collage, etc ...
- is there some kind of self-similarity ?
- can i zoom in ?
Nope ? It's not a fractal.  angry

And for most photophoped fractal, the answer for both question is "no".
That's why the process is important and that's why i don't care about their results.

Fractal art needs to be iterative/algorithmic by definiton. To do this you need fractal software. Otherwise it is just Computer generated art.  I personally do not believe in post processing such a photoshopping. Rendering time makes no difference to me.  I remember seeing older fractal art programs that did not have a rendering feature! Everyone has their own process/capabilities & I respect them all! There is a lot to be said for effort.

Getting the desired result is what matters the most.  For example you may be concidered an "expert" at programming, math & science.  But you still need an artists eye, intuition, passion?  In general a "knack" for creating the asthetically pleasing.  There seems to be 2 types of fractal extremes. those who put math 1st & those who put art 1st. 
Normal is probably in the middle (those who combine process with result.)
