Another fractal kaleidoscope

[Duncan C]

I started with a large 2D fractal. I rendered in 3D using distance estimate data for height values.

I saved the resulting square image as a large TIFF.

I then opened it in Photoshop. I did a levels adjustment to improve contrast.

I cut the image into a triangle along the top left to bottom right diagonal, and discarded half the image. I then duplicated and flipped the triangular portion along the diagonal to make a square, merged, duplicated again, and then flipped square along one of it's sides, making a rectangle. I then duplicated and flipped the rectangle, making a larger square image.

I have an action that does this kind of kaleidoscope automatically.

I created it at 2x it's final size, down-sampled it, and sharpened.

I like this image.  It feels like baroque meets the East/Middle-East.

I used to love creating "tiles" in basically the same manner.

... or baroque meets Grotesque

no, the image is cool, concerning tilings ... i think the tiling can made smoother, if appplied a modulus operation to the positions, and acumulate that values, smoothly
great image !

I meant "Grotesque" in the sense it is used in the art world. Elaborately figured, with symmetrical repeating patterns. Check the link on the subject if you're not familiar with that usage of the term.
