I do this a lot with fractals - it's great fun.I usually duplicate the ball at different sizes and spread them around a bit.

While i was figuring out a bat file to run Ghost through Shellout i thought what the heck i may as well create something while i am here.
Here is one i made a while back, about 2 years ago i think it was.

Reminds me of the 70s,which I made every effort to get out of.

the first look more as a semi-sphere (that is still a cool effect) i think depend from the shadow

I really like the second too

That is the exact effect i was trying to establish PC! A ball stuck halfway through the wall.Or half a sphere.
Hence the topic title "Ball in a Wall"
I probably should have made the shadow surround the ball more for more of an impact effect though.Maybe darker also. Thanks for the kind comments.



But then it would be called "Balls in the Wall"
Great idea though!


I was born in 1963 so right about 1970 i was age 7 so there was no escaping it for me.
It does sort of have those hip colors though!

Here's an animated fractal ball.

pretty.

Oh wow Erisian that is soooo cool. I am all about animations. That must be a lot of work it has 30 Frames. You are deadly... a superior artist with animations skills.



I like without the background too.



Oops. I see the white line showing on the image above. I just did a quick background removal but this one I cropped the background out.

Thank you Barbie. It's actually very easy if you follow the spinning pole tutorial but map to sphere rather than cylinder. It does look good without the background as well.
