codeismycanvasThe #genuary23 prompt is Transparency. Applying a transparency channel to a otherwise typical orbit trap fractal leads to some interesting effects. Might need to explore this one more later.
Why, yes, of course I wrote code to convert text glyphs into orbit traps for fractals. Notice the outline of a 4th order Mandelbrot set.

Fractal work in progress. Working with the high aspect ratio is interesting.
#genuary2 - Layers upon layers. With orbit trap fractals, each time the fractal equation is calculated, another layer is added to the image. The equation for this one just takes the sine and cosine of the real and imaginary values from the standard Mandelbrot equation, trapped by a thin ring around the origin.
Time for another fractal. This one came together quickly and I'm liking the colors.
This is an older one that I never quite finished. I just pulled it out and completely remapped the colors to a more "fun" palette and am liking it much better.
Cute little fractal monster.
Today I'm having fun experimenting with these simple little Julia Set fractals using fractional powers and orbit traps. When the constant is real and positive, you can get single "fractal monsters" like the first image. Keeping the order the same but changing to a negative real constant, the monsters get together in a little convention like the second image.

#genuary30 - "Shaders"
Building on my first ever attempt at programming shaders from yesterday's genuary post, I used a WebGL shader to animate one of my classic orbit trap fractal images. Live demo is here:

Now excuse me while I stare at this and space out the rest of the evening...
