1-180226 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 320 x 240 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 have my artwork for today, so I’m stopping here.

Continue on, if you wish.  My size is 877 x 849.  Remember to reduce to 320 x 240 to use the color box.  If you get funky lines, right click image, chose xy size and ok to redraw.

Go to town.  Have fun!  Let me see what you’ve created.  In comments, put a link to what you did!

See you Thurs. 3.1.18

A little about Cj:  I used to have a blog called 

HomeSpunGraphics.blogspot.com.  Here, I posted daily creations that I had digitally made.  I lost most of my graphics due a computer crash in the spring of 2017.  Yes.  I had them backed up to another hard drive, but due to the graphic images having too long of names, they did not save.  Here, I would like to share the daily items that I made.  You can find this one here at: http://homespungraphics.blogspot.com/2007/03/hi-there-wow-do-i-smell-spring-in-air.html.

And NOW … on with this tutorial.

Draw 2.17-2.  Picture 1-180221-1.

Now let’s just stay with this picture and try a few different formulas.

The original formula is z*z+c. 

Now let’s add another z* to formula:  z*z*z+c.  Picture 2.

Filters3, 27.  Picture 3.

Basically, what I’m learning here, is that DRAW, Filters1 and 2 redraw the image.  It doesn’t really start to change until you add Filters3, 27.  After adding Filters 3, you can then use the FD options.

I like FD options 4.  Picture 4.

I changed the size to 1024 x 768.  Remember, I cannot use the control box at this size, but reduce back down to 320 x 240 to use it.  Also, when I choose certain functions or filters, I’ll end up getting a horrible random picture but no problem.  Just right click on it, choose xy size, and ok and it will redraw. 

At this size I can really see it better for zooming.  Let’s do a little to find something interesting.  Picture 5.

FD options 8.  Picture 6.

Zoom in in the little yellow areas. Up right-hand corner.  Picture 7.

Zooming in again about center line where little pink, yellow, and purple dots are with surrounding small yellow dots.  Picture 8.

Get rid of some noise.  Right click, choose fractal parameters and change these settings.  Bailout from 4 to 2.  M-set maz from 128 to 40.  Picture 9.

Color1, 4.  Picture 10.

FD options 9.  Picture 11.

I love these colors.  Just from this picture, I’m going to zoom around … and choose about 4 pictures I'd like to make art work from.  You do the same.  What do you come up with?

I’m going to use the double box on the left toolbar.  I will z

oom in on an area and save it as 11a (It will say Jungle).  I’ll put it down on my tool bar at the bottom, and go back to 11 to do, and repeat 3 more times, naming each 11b, 11c, and 11d.

Here are mine.  Picture 11a.

Zoom 2 on 11. Picture 11b.

Zoom 3 on 11.  Picture 11c.

Zoom 4 on 11.  Picture 11d.

I didn’t care as much for 11c, so I’m going to change it.  Color1, 6.  Picture 11c-1.

FD options, 11. Picture 11c-2.

I know if I do color, INVERT, it will be red, so that’s what I do!  Picture 11c-3.

As always, have fun!  Let me know how you’re progressing!  If you have a drawing you wish to share; email it to me cjzphone at gmail dot com, and I’ll do some off days of featuring your work!  Fun!  In the subject line: FRACTAL SHARING.
