Zyst Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I was wondering if anyone had any idea about these so called Fractals. The fractals in PDN aren't like these, as far as I can tell. Here's a few images I've collected recently. Hidden Content: http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t235/Exaskryz/1268508167618.jpghttp://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t235/Exaskryz/1268507075258.jpg http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t235/Exaskryz/1268454298733.jpg If you know of a better name (that when searched in google doesn't return the "old" fractals), please tell me. And especially if you know how to create these in PDN or if there's a plugin that does it, that'd be great to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 You'd probably be better off using a dedicated program such as Chaoscope or Apophysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrochild Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 [*:3sjfg4k9]Those aren't fractals. They might be made out of fractals (from a fractal program like Apophysis), but they're not fractals themselves.[*:3sjfg4k9]Paint.NET is not a fractal program. Get Apophysis. You can always edit them later in Paint.NET.[*:3sjfg4k9]Forum rules. Your images were waaaaaay too big. ambigram signature by Kemaru [i write plugins and stuff] If you like a post, upvote it!

Haven't used PB in a long time, so couldn't find any thumbnails if they had them for my images. Ya, I wasn't sure about the name. Twice now when trying to find out about these images I've been told their fractals, so I haven't been able to find anything solid on them. I'll look into Apophysis, thanks all.

Frontcannon Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 That's a photoshop effect called fractalius, btw. (as far as I know) Night Vision Text Effect Tutorial Gallery reddit.com/r/futurebeats | My Mixcloud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrochild Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Fractalius is quite expensive. And that's not including Photoshop! ambigram signature by Kemaru [i write plugins and stuff] If you like a post, upvote it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontcannon Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 If you could emulate Fractalius as a PlugIn for pdn, that would be awesome. But then we'd be facing copyright claims, so...

Simon Brown Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 By "emulate" i'm assuming you mean "create a plugin that does something similar?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Possum Roadkill Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Very beautiful images ! I really like the cat. I think you could reproduce this effect in PdN. Sure, it's would take some time to figure it out, but it is very similar to Yellowman's splinter effect for photo manipulation. Maybe he will stop by and see this post and comment on it. I'm sure if anyone could figure it out, it would be Yellowman. You might want to check out his gallery and look for his lion photo. It is really beautiful. I did a hummingbird, an owl, and a pair of finches using it. You can see them on this page, about half way down. viewtopic.php?f=26&t=22624&p=312422&hilit=hummingbird#p312422 My Gallery SAC, WOTW and Photo Manip Competition Host To visit the Comps click HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontcannon Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 By "emulate" i'm assuming you mean "create a plugin that does something similar?" Of course! Fractalius for pdn, for free, could make this program so much more popular!

barbieq25 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 This is just 2 examples of what you can do with the tute WelshBlue mentioned & gave a link to: Of course you can take the shatter/splinter effect as far as you want to. I didn't take them as far as the images you referred to. Unless I am sadly mistaken, Chaoscope & Apophysis (used it but not very well) will not give you that effect. Anyone who can please let me know. I hope this has given you some further insight to the power of PDN. Knowledge is no burden to carry.

Zyst Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 That's a photoshop effect called fractalius, btw. (as far as I know) Thanks! That helps me a lot, as I know what to look for now (just searching that in google images brought up a bunch of similar types of pictures), and it explains the terrible choice of name to describe these images (fractals with an 'iu' after the l). If you could emulate Fractalius as a PlugIn for pdn, that would be awesome. But then we'd be facing copyright claims, so... It'd be really nice to see for PDN, it'd be one of the best plugins ever. If a general batching process came out for PDN, Fractalius+Batch=Bunch of nice images. Sargon' aka Yellowman has found a good technique that sort of copies this sort of image on another forum http://pdnfans.freeforums.org/post7726.html#p7726.It's a very effective method and you might want to give it a try ? I've been messing around with this, and I'm getting some cool images, but I don't have many that are really compatible already on my comp. Too many colors and such, and when draining the colors, you just lose the appeal. But I've been using different techniques to try and figure out a good way to obtain the color. Thanks for the link all the same! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's what I get for not reading all the posts. Sorry ! I guess that's why I couldn't find the tut on here.

perlock Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Bump! Someone just posted a lot of these pictures @ /wg/ and in the replies I saw they have been made by the Photoshop plugin: Fractalius. Then searched on it and found this topic when someone wanted to convert Fractalius into a Paint.net plugin, then i got here. I just wanted to post that i saw this "Fractalius effect" in a demo by ASD: http://pouet.net/prod.php?which=57446 The demo (or the demo makers) might help someone to create the paint.net version of the plugin.

This means that the discussion is over and has been for some time. If you wish to revive a topic, please just start a new thread. That way we keep things current. BTW you might like to have a look at this plugin: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/20622-psfilterpdn-2012-05-18/ In particular, see post #11 <closed> ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
