Description
Is it:- what the title suggests (see that doorway with its slyly beckoning vortex)?
- a new style of glowstick?
- some lengths of pipe lined up on the bathroom floor?
- something else?
Experimenting with the disc variation. There is so much to be squeezed out of these type of fractals: each degree of transform rotation produces a fresh design. I was debating about whether to post this, but it is both odd and striking...

really cool! i got a very similar one which looks like gems but i didn't post in on da

I'm glad you posted this one. Reminds me of either slider controls on an alien dashboard or the backpack of a highly organized raver. For some reason it makes me think of Halloween too. I have no idea why. Maybe because both are awesome?

Both of those are totally original and amazing descriptions! Wish I'd included them in my alternatives

The things that can be done with disc... all there waiting to be discovered

I haven't really experimented much with the variations yet, but you're right, there's soooo much to be discovered in Apo, SUCH a brilliant programme. I think you could play for a thousand years and never tire of it

LIME GREEN METAL RODS!!!!!! wewt!!! I need to borrow that and throwm them at my exroommate who screwed me over this past weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
However tho... I think it definately looks better as art .... on the plus side loving the texture again both the smooth metallicyness and thebackground.

It looks like a colony of cyanobacteria (or other chlorophyll-carrying microscopic critter) as viewed under a microscope.
Good stuff!!!

Thanks! And I'm not a complete stranger to microbiology (despite being a chemist), so I can relate to that

Sssssssst!! A chemist! Ahhhhhhh! The acid, it burnsss!
I make a jest.
But fractals and chaotic math are fun!

Thanks Natalie! The shapes are oddly deceiving because they appear to be skewed, whilst they actually occupy perfect rectangles, the edges being in shadow. Definitely an eye-boggler

Day-Glo-painted pipes on the bathroom floor...
....late at night....
...under a black light.....
....tripping on acid....
....alone.
Love the neon colors and the shapes and the textures. Cool one!

i like the texturing in there! I suspect if you rendered at a higher quality it would be gone

I reckon you might be right! It looked positively hairy on preview, here (Q=1000/2000?), it's become brushed metal...

Wish I knew how to make these. Great job! Love the colours and metallic glow!

The basis couldn't be easier: new blank flame, make #2 all disc and begin rotating it a degree at a time. Add tiny amounts of other variations to #1. To make square, add a polar FX and double its size. They look pretty rough on preview but a mid-quality test render reveals the detail

Hmm... interesting! I could never get the hang of disc before... but that might be because I always tried combining it with other variations on the same transform. Thanks!

I've recently picked up on a few of these new techniques and it's always surprising how simple the arrangement is. Disc is my current 'variation of the moment': most stunning of all with a JuliaN transform...

Yeah, complexity of transform placement usually seems to muddle the whole thing up.

Stunning image and the bold gradient is perfect for it.

Thanks, man! I initially tried a muted metallic palette, but it was boring. Then I turned the saturation back up and allowed the lemon colour to get positively fluorescent - I reckon that helped a lot
