Julia Fractals Tutorial - "Getting Started"

I promised when I first put my fractal tutorial online that I would share with you what I have learned along the way. While I have updated minor details in the original tutorial, this is my first major enhancement. I hope this leads to you making new discoveries and a better understanding of using Tiera-zon. Let me know what you think or if you have any suggestions!

I would HIGHLY recommend going through my basic fractal tutorial BEFORE applying these techniques. That will give you a much better foundation of understanding this program and these techniques.


I have put together a sample gallery that demonstrates the changes possible using the julia parameters. This gallery shows the original fractal image and then the images that were created by making the julia parameter changes. Take a moment to check them out and you will see the dramatic difference you can achieve using these techniques.

You're back! ;) What did you think? A rather substantial change isn't it? While the original images have great potential for zooming etc., the results you can achieve changing the parameters with the julia fractals is incredible!

My Approach
I approach this technique in a structured way, changing each parameter and sometimes creating dozens of julia fractals from the original image. Each of the julia fractals are then explored using the zoom feature and refined using color controls, filters etc.

Understanding these parameter changes will allow you to "tweak" an image to your preferences, composing it in a way not possible without that understanding. As you understand these changes you will be able to get a specific result, as opposed to strictly random or chance fractals.

As you will see, each of these fractal images have the potential of being modified almost infinitely. In addition to these parameters, you also have zooming, filters and coloring algorithyms which can bring many more interesting fractal images.
