i should post even if this time was no gimp postwork of sort... just fresh out m3d

i can't stop channelling visions of the Elvish Float...

well are not really elves , are more similar to the Tuatha de Danann are the People of the Reef, the gardeners and shepherds of the Cosmic Reef, not that the Reef needs gardeners and shepherds but is in its nature grow and to attract and filter as a sponge all virtual form of live and host and nurse in Its wombs all that may be symbiotic


But that make the ideal place for gardening and for shepherds , there everything may grow and flourish without anyone caring but the secret for the successful germination and nursing of theirs Floating Domes is accurately kept.

Are no spaceship are closer to that weird seed that falls as helicopters ... only are not moved by our wind but by more subtle cosmic winds
Obviously they all could use the Zarkov Dark Matter Converter , most have even installed , but is kept almost only for the emergencies, for normal travels they prefer be moved by the cosmic streams.

Nowadays the art of germinate , nurse , grow ,inhabit and drive the Floating Domes is lost, except for the People of the Reef

The Tuatha de Danaan.... That's a name I haven't heard for a while. I saw an Irish band called "Horslips" back in the late 1970s and bought their album "The Book of Invasions" which was all about the ancient Irish myths of the Tuatha.

these are 3-D fractal patterns, right? what kind of numbers are used to get these amazing patterns?

Wow PC! Amazing.

2-ton - when you first start with M3D you can hover your mouse over the various parameter boxes and it tells you what they do. It's largely trial and error to begin with but you soon start to get the hang of it. It's not as complicated as it looks. The link in my sig will show you some of the stuff I've done with it.

...and i almost always post my parameters (not on GC would be out of place here but in my Deviant Gallery http://photocomix2.deviantart.com/gallery/

I started just copying parameters, paste, and then trying to modify,
first to modify what i could understand , the "virtual camera " position, the lens of the camera, the zoom , the position and intensity of lights...and that is sufficient already for get hooked

After little by little when i believe i explored well all those, i start to see what may happens changing some of the others , more cryptic variables

wow, I am overwhelmed with both galleries.

Bad start !!
