1-180104 FreeTierazon Fractal Tutorial-Long Part 1

Today, we’re starting a brand-new fractal tutorial.

We’re going to delve deeper over many lessons, looking at Color1 filters!

We will build on each lesson.  This is the first one.  You will need to come back here and do this lesson to continue on the others.

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.

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.

We’ll take the standard Mandelbrot.  The size I have this is 640 x 480.  (Right click, choose xy size and your sizes and ok.)

I’ll resize any of the one I want to use for art work.

The first thing I’m going to do today is change the formula.

Right click on your image, choose unique editors dialog, and copy and paste the formula below into the formula line.

sin(z*z*z*z*z*z+c) and n-set, ok.

filters3,27, picture 2.  I want to use FD options, so I need to use filters3 first.


FD options 9, picture 3.


Zooming in / left mid-center, looks like a heart.  Picture 3-1.


I have other options off # 3 which are 3-2 through 3-7.  I will not be working with those here, but future play, but they were saved.

I like it, so I want to explore the bottom edge where the last teal blue is along the bottom.  The dark and light of it.   This one has a lot of possibilities.

Do I want the top spiral off to the left?  Picture 3-1a.


I’m going with 3-1a today.  Picture 3-1a.

(I like FD options 11 with more color changes.  Or FD Options 13 is nice.  FD Options 14 is elegant-looking using golds and oranges, browns.  I also like 16.  But, I’m going with 17.  Picture 3-1a-1.  I love the REDs!!


Zooming in; just getting rid of upper left and along the left edge.  Picture 3-1a-2.


Closing in on the spiral.  Picture 3-1a-3.


Color1, 1 is nice.  No error as the size is okay.  Went with Color1, 2.  Picture 3-1a-4.


Oh wow!  I love it, so I’m stopping here.  You go on a play, if you wish, saving often. I am going to enlarge this one before saving.  Right click, choose xy size, customer 877 x 849, FB size.  OH!  It is very nice!  I love it! // Need to resize.

As far as that brown spiral, I can go into psp or a graphics editing program, click on the brown and change it.  Wonderful!

Have fun.  Leave any comments or questions below.  (Site uses cookies; please disregard site if you don’t want to accept cookies.)
