This post will illustrate the creation of the picture titled “New Model Eye” using my software.
1. Start with the standard Mandelbrot fractal.
2. In the fractal settings window, opened from the Edit menu, add a transform using the transform tab.
3. This transforms the Mandelbrot into the following.
4. The image isn’t centred, so it can be repositioned using the position tab on the fractal settings window.
5. The image is now larger and centred.
6. Up to this point the default colouring methods have been used for inner and outer colouring, inner colouring is the fixed colour black and outer colouring is based on iteration. The outer colouring method and colour map are changed using the colour tab.
7. The image now looks like this.
8. Now to change the inner colouring.
9. The image now looks like this.
10. The selection of inner and outer colouring is based on whether a give point reached the bailout condition (outer) or not (inner), the image can be altered by changing how the colour methods are selected, this is also done using the colour tab.
11. Now that the colour selection is based on the components of the final value for each location we get this image.
This image can now be saved as a seed file and a much higher quality image produced using Titan to produce an image of 12000 by 8000 pixels. I’ve scaled that image to 1200 by 800 and it is shown below.

Wonderful! At step 7 it looks like crochet work.
