Grappa

I really enjoyed working with Grappa. I especially liked the blue on white because it was much easier to control than the other 2. My name is the first one I have displayed here. My husband thinks the second one looks like a musical note and I somewhat agree. I love the orange on black very much. Class was a ton of fun and good luck everyone!!

Grappa!

This is a really neat program. I tried to do a search to find different variations but was not successful. I had fun anyway though! This class was great fun and taught me a LOT! I am so happy to have been able to play with programs that I never would have known about otherwise!
The rest of my Grappa art is on fotothing.

Grappa Project


Hi Everyone,

Here are some samples of my images for Grappa. I decided to just save them as images because I'm not real great at the video thing. Please feel free to check them out on my fotothing site. This project was pretty fun and addictive! I had a lot of fun in this class and have really enjoyed seeing all the great works of art you all have created!

Jess Grappa!!!

Here is the link to my youtube page. I created a video of my grappa and set it to music. Sadly, for some reason my audio and visual quality is very poor. :-(


Here is an example of one of my projects. The rest are located on fotothing.com/jsandle




Enjoy!

Grappa Video!

Hot off the recording studio.. I just finished a video on using Grappa...   You have a couple of options for showing your work... you can do it in video form (and post it to YouTube) or just take single image screen shots and place them in your fotothing portfolio....  

Here it is posted to my website....

These are another 2 of my fractals. My husband says the 1st one looks like an exploding star. I thought that was an interesting observation, let me know what you think.

Fractals


I wish I could say I loved working with fractals, but I can't. I liked it but not as much as apophysis. The designs are kind of cool, but I couldn't download the trial of photoshop again so I have the watermarks. I think these 2 designs are kind of cool. I have more on fotothing and I'll post a couple of more tomorrow. Let me know what you think...

apophysis was fun!


wow! what an amazing program! :D i could mess with apophysis for hours! i still have several images to upload to my fotothing, but these are a couple of my favorite renderings. my husband loved this so much he downloaded it for himself! :P he's been messing with it all night. ;) hope you enjoy it! check it out on my fotothing: reflection10.

Here is the link for my video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PnzP2gEzpo
This program was pretty neat, but I must admit that I became VERY frustrated after it didn't save my tracks 3 times!!!!!! Needless to say, I worked on this project all weekend and then was up late trying to finish it to post yesterday. It is STILL running way faster than I want it to, and unfortunately you can see the HyperCam screen in the video which takes away from my project, but it is finally DONE! I am kind of a perfectionist and so I wish it had come out the way I imagined it...

ultrafractal rocks! :)


I'm not sure what it was about the "green" palette that I just adored how these 2 fractals came out. :)  There are more in my fotothing, but man... I can absolutely see how someone can get sucked into changing patterns and colors for HOURS. Such a neat program.  I ended up getting VMware Fusion on my laptop... and... then got thrown on bedrest with some swelling and high blood pressure due to my pregnancy, so my apologies for bein' kinda pokey on getting these up, but my fotothing has more and I will be uploading them over the next couple of days! And ps* blood pressure is much better. ;)

Apophysis

What I really like about this class is that everytime I finish my assignments I share them with my husband before posting. We agree on some and disagree on others but it makes class more interesting. Everythime he sees the finished product, he asks me how I got there and I show him. He likes the class. He thinks this is fun, which it really is. Apophysis was much easier than I thought it would be. I saw the video on the syllabus and that was very helpful, otherwise it would've taken me longer to figure stuff out.

Line Rider

Hello Everyone,

I have attached my link to the line rider video I created. This was fun .... I had the video set to music but the website crashed before I could fix recording settings and I lost the video. I had a tough time saving my files too. Everytime I went to save it, it seemed like it worked but then when I went back into the website, nothing was saved. Not sure what I was doing wrong.....

For some reason the last five images I posted were much more fun for me than the first five. The two images I have posted here were at some point the Disney Castle and Mariah Carey. They are obviously something else with slight remnants of what they once started out as. This project was more fun for me than the Warhol one because I understood it right from the beginning.
