1-180301 Free Tierazon Fractal Tutorial

Every tutorial starts with OPEN Tierazon, and tips that you need to learn and remember.  It’s so you don’t have to go looking for them each time you want to make fractals.  Here we go.

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.  Changed by size to 800 x 600 for now.

Last lesson, we did Draw 2.17-3.

Moving onto the next one.  Draw 2.17-04.  Picture 1-180301- picture 1.

I’m just going to zoom in along the top edge.  Picture 2.

Zoom again.  Picture 3.

Zoom again.  Picture 4.

Filters3, 27.  Picture 5.

Zoom in.  Picture 6.  

    

FD options 12.  (Remember, you always need to use Filters3 before using FD options.)

Picture 7.  Very bright. 

Left toolbar: double boxes on.  It will produce a jungle, so remember to rename it.  Picture 7-a.

Minimize.  Go back to picture 7.  Zoom in again in a different spot.  Rename the jungle to 7-b.

Minimize this one, too.  Back to picture 7.

Zoom in, rename to 7-c.

Minimize 7-c, and go back one last time to 7.  Zoom in. Picture 7-d.

Taking the double box off on the left toolbar.  Closing 7.

Now, looking at each.  Starting with 7-a.  Zooming in.   Picture 7-a-1.  I love it.  Keeping it.

Now 7-b; zooming in.  Picture 7-b-1. 

FD options 16.  Picture 7-b-2.  Keeping it.

Moving on to 7-c.  Colors1-15.  Picture 7-c-1.

Color: rbg.  Picture 7-c-2.  Keeping.

Moving on to 7-d.  Zooming lower left.  Picture 7-d-1.  I like this, so keeping it.

That’s it for today.  Continue playing or move onto a past lesson.  Hope you’re creating some fun fractals and becoming comfortable with Tierazon.

I do have a tendency to like certain functions.  But as long as we’re creating art we like; it’s fine.

Feel free to play around!

See you Monday 3.5.18.
