Congratulations, a beautiful UF image...colorful and well rendered.....
First UF???? Man, I couldn't make this in a zillion years. Awesome!
Thank you very much - it took some doing but I learnt hell of a lot on the way. I tend to fiddle and find I learn a lot more like that than reading tutorials and manuals. I never even bother with manuals for hi-fi's tv's and stuff :0)
It is beautiful and fantastic, very imaginative image. Great work !
Impressive image, you must be patient and proud! :)
Fantastic and complex fractal.
Unbelievable! I am so jealous, how long have you had the program? Way beyond excellent! Those pearls have just the right sheen. I'll be watching for your next post!
First?!? Apparently, you're a prodigy! 9 months and I can't touch spheres like that! That spiral in the background is absolutely amazing as are the patterns on the spheres. Totally WELL DONE & CONGRATS on such a fine image!!!
If this is your first attempt at UF, I shudder to think about what is to follow! This is unbelievably fantastic and mindblowing! V
A dab with a basic white (or light hue from the sphere) soft brush for the sheen and a dab again with a basic soft brush for the shadow in black (adjusting the opacity) - size of brush dependant on the size of the sphere, and bobs your uncle. It took me hours to work out that was all I needed to do. I think getting the pearls just right took the longest.
Awesome 3d look in this fractal, I like how the fractal forms are holding the big sphere, my compliments!!
WOWWWWWW! You inspire me. Wonderful image!!! Beautiful!!!
WOW!! wishing all first renders were as beautiful Welcome to the fractal gallery
What a beautiful job! Congratulations on a killer image, first or not.
Very beautiful 3D render. My compliments.
Beautiful! Great composition, excellent idea and design, and great colours. Well done.
Amazingly beautiful. Seems you've got a handle on this program right off the bat! Welcome to the fractal gallery.
Great concept, beautiful image.
You must have been pushed cause this piece FLIES!
very beautiful design - excellent detail of the pearls and lovely look of metal fingers moving to the main pearl
I completely agree with joeydude, mind blowing and very inspirational! You seemed to have grasped the program right away... Keep up the great work! ~Blue ;)
