Fractal Workflow

Create the Fractal

(The creative bit.)

If the fractal is derivative of another, copy the original from Z:\Fractals\Gallery to Z:\Fractals\Workbook. Add square brackets and a V1 on the end.

Otherwise, get a new code from Z:\Fractals\Fractal.ods.

Computer Aspect Ratio Working Size
Zeus 85 1200 × 900
Zeus FA 1750 × 700

Test Render

Save the fractal. Render to C:\Temp\Renders with Anti-Aliasing set to Normal and Open When Finished checked.

Aspect Ratio Test Render Size
85 3000 × 2250
FA 4000 × 1600

Do a save as. Increment the Vx on the end. Continue being creative.

Finish Up

  • Leave any fractals that didn't make the cut for reference.
  • Rename final fractals.
  • Delete any other versions of the final fractals.
  • Copy to the appropriate Z:\Fractals\Gallery directory.
  • Move to the appropriate C:\Renders\Source directory.

Final Render

Aspect Ratio Final Render Size Anti-Aliasing
85 10240 × 7680 Normal
FA 12800 × 5120 Normal
  • Open fractals from the appropriate C:\Renders\Source directory.
  • Render to the appropriate C:\Renders\Images directory. Use PNG.

Wait a while…

Copyrightisation

  • Copy image files from C:\Renders\Images to C:\New Gallery\*\Source.
  • Update the file C:\Dev\Copyrightise\CopyrightImageDetails.pm with the new images.
  • Run C:\Dev\Copyrightise\v2Generate All Derivatives.bat
  • AdjustSettings: Use the sampler in C:\New Gallery\*\Copyright Samplers to update the values in the file C:\Dev\Copyrightise\CopyrightImageDetails.pm.
  • Delete the appropriate files from C:\New Gallery\*\Copyrightised. Sort by modification date makes them easy to find. There should be 12 for 85 or 10 for FA.
  • Delete the file C:\New Gallery\85 (Screen)\Copyright Samplers\Montage.png or rename it to compare the difference.
  • Run C:\Dev\Copyrightise\v2Generate All Derivatives.bat again.
  • Examine the Montage image. Ignore the 512×384 image. If the values need adjusting, go to AdjustSettings:
  • If the image is 85:
    • Copy C:\New Gallery\85 (Screen)\Copyrightised\*.2800×1600.png to a USB Key to take to work.
    • At work, copy to C:\11000 x 7703 (Raw).
    • Run C:\11000 x 7703 (Raw)\To Wallpaper.bat. This will convert to BMP and store in C:\11000 x 7703 (Raw)\Wallpaper.
  • If the image is FA:
    • Copy C:\New Gallery\FA (Dual Monitor Wallpaper)\Copyrightised\*.3200×1080.Q95.jpg to C:\Backgrounds.

To Wallpaper Script

This will need adjusting to work at home.

del /f /q Wallpaper\*.*

rem Adjust for work monitor layout.
