Description
I have this image made that I named Peeled because it looks like the fractal is being split in two, like peeled bark. It has a few things about it that irritate me every time I look at it. The first time I tried to fix it, I tore it down to the bottom layer and rebuilt it into Technocracy [link] . The second time I tore it down to the base level to fix it, this emerged. After two complete rebuilds and a couple days worth of rendering, I'm at the point that Peeled will stay the way it is. If you want, I can post it later, but for the tech series, this is the final one. Time to move on and make something completely different.Ultra Fractal. Comments and critiques welcome.

Appreciate that a lot. I try hard to make fractals that are unique and different than the traditional posts. Takes a lot of work and time but when I read comments like yours, it's all worth the effort.

Love the rich green colour in this one and it suits your 'tech' series perfectly. Great transparencies and form.

Thank you. It was the same base file but I tried real hard to make it unique while still holding to the series.

Thank you. Probably should work with green so much, it's such a fresh color.

Keep up the good work!

Quite stunning. It looks vaguely... aerodynamic, as if it's going to launch off somewhere.

Funny thing about this and Technocracy was I never did redo that file the way I wanted it to be. Still have it on one of my drives waiting for another rebuild. Maybe if I decide to make a third image in the series.

Hi Jeff,
I really like the concept here. I like all the circuit board stuff going on at the bottom. Perfect title.
Fav.

HAH ...from the thumb ...i was gonna ask if this had parts of Technocracy in it
Another GREAT title too ... and gawd i love the depth in this one too ... the background is most unusual...
Ultra Frac should be using YOUR work to promote their software man ...

Yeah, the funny thing is I still have the original image that both were made from. For the upper sections, I was thinking of the first Star Trek movie with all the inner chambers and strange shaped sections of V'ger.

I liked this technical series very much, this one reminds of the Matrix, the light seeks its way down to the inner core
Lovely work man!!

Thanks. I don't work with green that much, but it felt right. Although, I kinda like the look of it, so I might dig up some more green images.

do you have any tips or advice for using ultra-fractal?
i got it, and it seems so unbelievably complicated...

Fortunately, UF has some great tutorials built into it. It's the only fractal program I know of that does. There are also some tutorials in the UF group *Ultra-Fractal that might help out. The good thing is that the merge modes are very similar to photoshop layering, so that should give you some ideas on how to stack up layers to give more depth to your image. There are hundreds, maybe thousands of formulas, so I recommend using a Mandelbrot or Newton to start with. Those two are extremely user friendly and should give you an idea to start with. Don't worry about masking and mapping right now. You can work with them later as you get comfortable with the interface.
Above all else, join the mailing list that's on the UF site. People donate images that you can pick apart and see how things work. All you do is copy the code, open the program, right click on the default image, then select paste. The code will build the image and show you all the layers.

Use :dev followed by the name of the person/group and close it with a second : . That makes a link to that deviants page.

.Hack is an anime about a kid trapped in the vitual world. You see a lot of werid data creatures adn funky computer world stuff. That what this reminded me of. ^_^ And your welcome!

Thanks for getting it. The light was the main drive of what I was trying to do.

i like the two white line that goes straight up in the middle of the image...like lights holding up the whole piece...

Beautiful, Jeff...you know that I have no clue how these images are created right, and that fact makes me aware that there is a whole dimension to this type of art that I can't appreciate because I dont know what it took to create it. What I "do" know is that I think it looks beautiful, to me it's very "Excaliburesque"

No problem, Kaz. I don't think we need to understand all the technical things to the works here. I'm just happy with what people think of my work as a piece of art and how it affects them.

very nice. sort of looks as though it was another peek into the technocracy universe.

Just a small peak. Time to move on and make something different now. Don't know what that will be, but hopefully it will be a good one.
