FallingAs my million brothers and I pummel towards the ground
I can't help but wonder
What horrible beast would throw us
Helpless and naked to our doom for his own sick jokes?
For does he not realize that rain has feelings as well?
Does he not notice the fear in us all of our end?
However, I soon stop and look around at our surroundings
I realize myself that this is not a malevolent monster
Controlling our destiny
But a hidden guru
For though our time is short, beauty is all around

*sigh* I really don't like it. I'm not quite sure what else to say. Does anyone know how to get rid of the faded grains in the upper left hand corner?

Thanks Tim!

Let me add two advices to the already valuable help given by Sparky: raise the quality of the render (around 10,000-20,000 depending on how smooth of an effect you want to get) and, most importantly, use a very low gamma threshold! I usually put a value between 0.002 and 0.0025 there, while the default is 0.01. I noticed it helps a huge lot in getting rid of the black spaces. And, play with xaos too. Try many variants on all transforms.

Now let's get to the fractal: I love it! It has a swirly, galactic-like feeling. The only thing is, maybe gaussian blur would have been better than the regular blur. Your choice, anyhow, I just don't like the circle that much, but it's a matter of aestethics.

~hyperblade416 Mar 10, 2010 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Lol, thanks so much for the advice. I'll rerender it and see what I get!

And as for the circle, I just think it adds a bit of mystery to the whole peice.

*heavenriver Mar 10, 2010 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Yep, I was suggesting you to smooth it more, not to remove the blur completely

Hope the suggestions will do well!

~hyperblade416 Mar 10, 2010 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Well I tried the gaussin blur and really didn't like it all that much but I rerendered it and now I think the grains are pretty much gone. Thanks!

*heavenriver Mar 11, 2010 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Yes, it looks a lot nicer! Colors are more bright and vivid too. Good job

~hyperblade416 Mar 11, 2010 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Yea, I was really pleased when I increased the saturation. I like the blue-ish ghostly glow it has now. Thank you!

~Craig-Larsen Mar 8, 2010 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Oh I forgot to add it looks pretty good to me I like the wispy look that you captured in much of the fractal.

~hyperblade416 Mar 9, 2010 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Lol, I barely used and blur for that too. I was surprised by how much blur effect I could get by just moving the transforms around. I really havn't had much practice with curl yet so this was a good learning experience.
