What do you think, would you like to try it?

UltraFractal

I posted an earlier version of this as a local Pygame project. I’ve now used pygbag to make it playable online.

You can change the number of polygon sides, ratio, drawing speed, palettes, border visibility, and UI visibility while the fractal draws live. I reached 10 million dots without any issues.

Playable version:

I’m still learning, so feedback is welcome.

I have been asked about my creative process and I would like to try to answer that briefly.

To clear up any misunderstandings, I am not an artist and what I do is not art. It is decoration. That is why I often try to use my images as a background on my PC. Then they are useful.

For me, creating images with fractal software is a bit like taking pictures: You walk around and look around and when you see something interesting, you examine it more closely. Zoom in or out. Crop the image in one way or another. Experiment with light and colors. Maybe it will turn out well, maybe it will not turn out well and then you just move on. So it is first and foremost about *seeing* and then experimenting a little.

And as in photography, you have ultimately created an image, but you have not created the object the image shows. The object is created by the software and the mathematics that the software uses.

... and by the way, fractals do not give you the meaning of life or spiritual insights. But that doesn't make the mathematics any less exciting and the pictures are still pretty to look at.

with upcoming consolidated formula weaving that im working on
