If you guys haven't checked THIS website yet, and you like 2D/3D fractals, go for it! It's FREE to use, and it's OpenGL accelerated directly from your web browser (no installations). I made this image using one of their templates, placed the camera, took a shot, and composited in Paintshop. Can you imagine modeling all the 3D detail you see in this scene by hand? LOL
Uh Oh! Talking about fractals could get me lost for a few months. I looooove fractals, but I'm pretty much sold on Apophysis. I have tried others, but I always seem to come back to Apophysis. You can see a bunch of them in my gallery at Renderosity, on the bottom half of page 4, and most of page 5.
Uh Oh! I better go hide somewhere, or you won't see me for a while.

I get lost with fractals. Not the theory, nor software. I literally get lost in the fact it's all around us.
Example: Pick up a tree leaf. Look at the pattern of the 'veins.' Step back from the tree the leaf fell from. The vein pattern matches the branch pattern of the tree. And no matter how you magnify the leaf, the pattern repeats. The branches of the tree are the same pattern as the tree itself. And on and on.
An amazing set of 'patterns' that exist. Don't get me started on Zipf's Law. (Yes, I am perusing the internet alphabetically and am up to the Z's). If you want more on this: Zipf's Law. It's along the same line as thinking of fractals.

Ahhh, the Mandelbrot fractal. Its definition is credited to Adrien Douady who named it in tribute to the mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot, a pioneer of fractal geometry.
I've been into fractals since my very first DOS-based desktop computer. I don't recall the name of the fractal software I used back then, but I was able to set it up to run indefinitely, so often used it as a screensaver.
I moved on to Windows based fractal software with my first Win95 desktop, and kept at it until I found Apophysis, which eventually came out with a 3D version.

how wacky is that title!
all in the image was modelled in Carrara ( except the thought bubble..... there's always an except! )

Looks great! Love Charlie & Snoopy! ^___^
I don't buy allot of space stuff but this is a hella cool ship man. WOW. Looks like something the Legion of Super Heroes would use. Love the design!and if Australia had a StarShip
it'd be a wacky StarShip Sydney

The structure of the cave seem to absorb anything they could throw at it, probes were simply reflected while anything inside never managed to send a signal out. This ruled out and remote investigation be it by robot or drone and so it had the be the personal approach, something Caoimhe was not looking forward to. The inner skin looked as though it was exactly that giving her the feeling she was walking down the throat of a gigantic monster but there was far more to worry her inside.

Sorry I've been absent so long guys, I've been having a rough go of it the past few months. I'm glad to see so many new artworks posted since then. Lovely work all! 
I did get a couple things finished while I was away, just need to work on posting them when I have time. Here's the latest one I uploaded.

I'm still on my Dragon Age kick with my elf mage warden and Teagan. I'm actually pretty excited that I'm still working on this stuff because now I have a good excuse to play a bunch with the Hivewire Horse (and to buy more for it). I also updated Ysmeria to G3F so she should be able to wear more of my runtime and pose better with G3M.

Teagan and Ysmeria get ready to go out for a ride during the winter at Rainesfere. Setting out for Ansburg for the holidays, perhaps?---

Quite simply stunning, the mix of grey with colour is wonderful but the depth of field really makes it pop.
