Very Gigeresque. Now I have to check out the rest of your gallery

Great texture and pattern, it really gives the fractal some height, and from what I can see, the variations you used usually wouldn't do that, that is just a product of some fine tweaking, no doubt this is a piece you spent a little while on.
Very nice work!

Thanks for that! It's a basic tiled set up, then I think it's fisheye that gives it the depth, with a final transform with linear and julian. There are probably a couple of transforms in there that are redundant, but I often lose track of what I've done. I should really be a bit more disciplined. Thinking back, I probably did spend a fair while on it!

Fisheye, really? Well, you used that variation to its best. Usually when I try to throw some of it in, it gives me a chatic pattern of really jagged lines, not anywhere near the smooth/rigid texture you achieved here.

Sounds good, have fun with it!

I guess the tiling makes a difference, also I reduced the size of the transform quite a bit, and used it at a setting of around 0.6. I think I might play around with a few variations to see what else I can do to get a dimensional look.

So 3D and the natural gradient is perfect. Well-deserved win

This has to be one of the most impressive textures I've seen. It looks like something out of an electron scanning microscope. It really looks organic.

Thanks, and thanks also for the fav.

I always wondered how people create three dimensional looking fractals. Do you just have lots of fractals layered over each other?
Great render!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! No, it's not layered as such. If you're interested, I could send you the params in a note, so you could see how I did it.

Sure, that'd be great!

This is amazing and feels like a texture definitely! Would really want to touch it if it wasn't on the screen.
Good luck on the contest!
