Deviation Actions
Years ago I found Deviantart and decided to join. Since then I've grown as an artist and been inspired by all the thousands of people that pour their heart and soul into their own creations. That inspiration constantly challenges me to practice and get better at my own things. Happy Birthday DA!

Chaotica: Transform Chains
Author's Note: I'm posting a duplicate of my tutorials here on DA to increase visibility and potentially help more people learn. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks! If you missed the first few tutorials, you can find them in my Journal. Here's the first one. Knowledge Check This tutorial is written with the expectation that you have already read through most of the basics tutorials on my site. If you haven’t already done so, please do so now to avoid confusion. Just click on my posts. :D What is a transform chain? A transform chain is a series of transforms that get executed in top down order instead of the normal way. I’m going to give some background here so everyone can be on the same page. Normal Transform Behavior A normal iterator has pre and post transforms as well as the normal transform nodes. The normal behavior is to have your transform nodes and the transforms will kind of bounce around between all the iterators based on the weights.
Chaotica: Circle Inversions
Getting Started On this tutorial, I’m going to demonstrate how to do a circle inversion on the camera transform. There are multiple ways to do this, and you don’t have to do it through a camera transform. This method on the other hand allows you to skip getting into weights, which is a whole other future tutorial. Now that I’m done with the warnings, onward! On this tutorial, I’m going to hope you’ve read the basics on Chaotica. I’m going to skip right into the meat of things and make this short and simple. Initial Setup First, lets make a simple pattern to use. I’m going to setup two iterators with the following information. Iterator 1 Transform: julian2 Variables: all defaults Post_Transforms: Transform: tile_hlp Variables: all defaults Transform: tile_log Variables: tile_log: 0.2 tile_log_spread: 10 This will create a simple julian and then tile it into infinity left and right. Once you have it setup, go to the shader node and set the opacity to
Notes on my art
Here's a few questions I've been asked recently. Here are my answers. Can I use this image as a wallpaper or background? Yes, you can, as long as you don't change it and it's for your personal use. Can I use you work as a basis to build one of my own? No. The license on it restricts it, and I spend a lot of time and energy on it and would like it to stay original. My images are not stock images and they are not provided free for that purpose. Can I share your work? Sure, as long as it's in a link form. You cannot copy the image to another site without express written permission from me. Do your images have a license? Yes, they are licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0. (https://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/) Can I see your parameters to see how you did something? Sure, just ask, and I have a tutorial for a lot of it. I would appreciate seeing what you do with it too so I can
Chaotica: Transform Examples
Author's Note: I'm posting a duplicate of my tutorials here on DA to increase visibility and potentially help more people learn. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks! If you missed the first few tutorials, you can find them in my Journal. Here's the first one. What do the transforms do? When I first started working with fractals, I didn’t start from a math perspective. I started from a “oh this is cool software” perspective. The biggest question I had was, what do these transforms do and how do I make use of that? This is a common question. I hang around in the fractal chat discord and I’m active on DeviantArt and I answer questions in both places. The most asked question is, how the heck do I see what transforms actually do? In this tutorial, I’m not going to go through every transform and tell you what it does. That would defeat the purpose of learning. I’m instead going to teach you how to build a Chaotica world that you can use as a testing
