1-180129 Free Tierazon Fractal Tutorial


Open Tierazon.

Your regular Mandelbrot will come up.   Read the tips below, and we will continue on.

If you wish to work on a larger image, right click on image and choose xy size, and enlarge from there.  Close out with ok.

REMEMBER TIPS:  If your image resizes back to the original small size, just right click, choose x-y size, and resize and ok.

If your image turns into a series of lines or horrible patterns, it may be because it’s too big.  (Sometimes it will be just a solid color; and may be fixed or not by doing this.) To fix, right click, choose xy size, and then ok; and it will redraw properly.   I’ve recently read that, drawing a box around it will do the same thing.

If you want to use FD options, you MUST use filters 3 first, above Dimension Variant.

If you want to use the color box, you must reduce your image size to 320x240 first.  You can change back (resize) when you’re done coloring. 

You can draw or zoom in off your page and move around your fractal in this manner.  If you want to zoom out, right click your image, and choose fractal parameters and take a number or two off the front of magnify.

To reduce noise, try changing bailout from 4 to 1 (right click and choose fractal parameters) and m-set max from 128 to a lower number.  Reduce by 10’s until you get a feel for what you like.  If you do too much noise reduction, go back in and increase m-set max.

And NOW … on with this tutorial.

I’m resizing to 640 x 640 for now.

Opening Tierazon, and pulling up Picture 12 from the last lesson- 1-180125-12.


Right click, choose unique editor dialog, and choose m-set, ok.   Pic 13

Right click, choose unique editor dialog, and choose n-set, ok.  Pic 14.


 Zoom in on top element.  Pic 15.




Zoom in again on colors or top of element.  Pic 16.




Zoom in top center, lots of colors.  Pic 17.




I want to lose some of the noise.  Right click, choose fractal parameters, bailout from 4 to 1, m-set max from 128 to 80.  Pic 18.




Zoom in lower item.  Pic. 19




Zoom in lower nodule. Pic 20.




Right click, choose fractal parameters.  Set m-set max from 80 to 70.  Pic 21.




Stopping here for today.  We’ll pick up again on Thurs. 2-1-18 with picture 21 again.

1-180125 Free Tierazon Fractal Tutorial

So.  How do I make fractals?  I like fractals, but I don't know how to do them.  How do they make fractals?  I'll show you how I do make them!

Open Tierazon.

I’m resizing to 640 x 480 for now.

Right click, choose unique editor dialog

Formula is

 Filters3, 27.  My favorite.  Pic 2.

 Zoom in on the colored area at the top.  Pic 3.  (Filters 3 must be used before using FD options.)

 FD options 12, pic 4.

 Zooming in on the little islands off to the left side.  Pic 5.

 Zooming in again, upper top of big island.  Pic 6.

 Color 1, 3.  Pic 7.

FD options, 16.  Pic 8.

 Colors2, 25.  Pic 9.

 Zoom in on top spiral.  Pic 10.

 Zoom in lower spiral with green and blue around it and red.  Pic 11.

 Zoom in on a lower spiral tight with red around it.  Pic 12.

Stopping here for today with 12 pictures. 


Picking up with pic 12 on 1-29-18, Monday.

And NOW … on with this tutorial.

Right click, choose unique editor dialog

Formula is

z-(z*3-1)/(z^3)+c/0.5 n-set, pic 1-180122-1



Filters3, 27 (my favorite filter), pic 1-180122-2  (look at the colors!)



Colors1, 8, pic 3



Let’s do a zoom.  Lower half toward mid vertical line.  Pic 3-1


Zoom again.Pic 3-1a



FD options 10.  Pic 3-1b



Right click, fractal parameters, bailout from 4 to 1, m-set max from 128 to 20 .   Ok.  Pic 3-1c.  Love it!  Will make great art!



 Zoom off to right.  Pic 1-3d.  Love it more! 



Zoom again.  Pic 1-3e.



FD options, 12.  Pic 1-3f.



Color menu top, invert.  Pic 1-3g.



FD options 13 is great.  Pic 1-3h.



FD options 14 is very simple.  Pic 1-3hi.



FD options 16.  Pic 1-3hij.



Right click, fractal parameters.  Magnify, take first 2 numbers off; mine is 63.  Ok.  Pic 1-3K.



FD options 17.  Pic 1-3KL.



FD options 18.  Pic 1-3M.



Right click, unique dialog editor.  Choose M-set, ok.  You get a new picture. It’s boring.  Right click again, unique dialog editor.  Choose N-set now.  Pic 1-3N.



Zoom in, I am going off to the right.  Pic 1-3o.



FD options, 20.  Pic 1-3p.



Zoom; looks like a little red heart.  Pic 1-3Q.



Zoom in again.  Pic 1-3R.



Resize to 877 x 849.  1-3Rs big.



Stopping here to use what I’ve created today.  You may go on or stop here to.  Remember, your pictures and colors may be a little different than mine; depending on where you zoomed in to.

For fun; putting the left tool bar dup box on.  I want to get inside this pic as well.

Zoom 1 pic is beautiful.  Rename zoom 1 instead of jungle.  Close.



Go back to 3-rs big.  Dup box is still on.



Zoom 2 pic.  Rename zoom 2.  Want to change color to zoom 2a, so minimize it for now.



Go back to 3-rs big.  Zoom 3 pic.  My invert color wasn’t working, so I right clicked, choose xy size and ok.  It rendered into what I wanted.



Maximize zoom 2.  Right click, xy size, ok.   Pic zoom 2a.
FD options 11.  Picture zoom 2b.


Stopping here.  This was a great lesson today, and some really pretty pictures.  Can’t wait to use them for some art fractal work!  Yeah.

How are you doing on your own fractals?  Feel free to send me a copy – re-save as a png or jpg.  You can send to cjzphone at gmail dot com. 

Did you document your own progress?  Fun, fun!

Have a great day.
