Artmatic art.
New art made with software called ArtMatic.Update: I've had (a bigger version of) the top one on my 30-inch screen for a while now, and I'm surprisingly pleased with it. I would not normally have such psychedelic colors, but maybe the softness is compensating for it, I don't know. In any case, I like it.
A positive surprise, since I've been bored for a while now with anything I'd normally put on my screen desktop (yes, including nudes, and medication ain't helping :).

Impressive. You used fractal functions?
Cool beans! I assume it is this one your talking about.
I know the app can use fractals, but to be frank, the interface is so foreign to anything I've seen that I have no clue whatsoever what's going on. (Many advanced graphics apps have that kind of interface. I think it's a weakness.)
It's easy to get impressive results, its difficult to control them!
TTL, yes, that's the one.
Some of the gallery images for ArtMatic Voyager are stunning. But I get the impression that this "Voyager" thing is a dfferent version of the software.
Did you buy it?
Wish there were something like that for the PC. I always used to own Macs, but capitulated when it was time for a new computer and I had to coordinate my home computer with what was going on at my workplace. Dell and Toshiba had some really great deals on notebook sized computers, which I think will always be my choice, and they're all PC-compatible, not Mac.
I don't really get why we're all of us trapped with Microsoft Office but them's the breaks ...
I wouldn't touch Microsoft Office with a 10 feet pole.
I kind of like Dell, though. I have three servers from them. It's easy to order from their web site and they don't force you to buy any Microsoft "software" with them. I buy bare hardware and install GNU/Linux on them.
But, final identity, I'm pretty sure there is something like that for the PC. The first thing that comes to mind is Bryce from DAZ 3D (also works on the Mac). It's not the same, but it does the synthetic scenery thing probably better than anything out there. There must be many tools in this category for the PC.
Yeah, I think ArtMatic Voyager works with Bryce landscape app.
ArtMatic is $250, so I am waiting to see if I can use it well.
F.I., notice that the Intel Macs run Windows really well now.
I wouldn't touch Office either, except that everyone at my workplace keeps sending me .doc files. Grr. I can't disabuse them of the misapprehensions. "What's wrong with it, it works fine on everyone else's computer ..."
No, on everyone WHO HAS PAID BILL GATES MORE MONEY THAN HE DESERVES else's.
There are other apps which open office documents, including free options like OpenOffice.
Me, I bought the academic version of Office. I almost never use it, though.
I haven't gotten bored with my visualizer in Windows Media Player, the new GeForce one is pretty awsome. When I tire of that I have a real Lava Lamp and one of those projectors with the coloured oil disk. All I need now are some persistance of vision artpieces, and I'll be happy. There's a POV sculpture in the Exploratorium in San Francisco, it's 10 colums on LED's spaced about 8 feet apart, and they paint images in the air. All I need is a bunch of RGB LEDs and a heap of shift registers....

Those twirls look marvellous. Also, how the patches of colours interplay. The only thing I'm not too fond in it are the choice of colours. As you say, it's a bit psychedelic.
Looks like this is a cool piece of software.
Funny thing, I've also put the swirls as my wallpaper as soon as I saw how cool the big image looked. :-)
Again a deep space view,dear Eolake,you really surpassed yourself! You have made my day.
With endless respect and sympathy, always yours Paul Alexandru Cazacliu artmanro@yahoo.com
