Orbs In Flaming Fractal

I don't have any fractal imaging software programs installed so I don't create a lot of fractals. I haven't really expanded my artistic horizons as the only program I use is Gimp. Gimp does come with Fractal Explorer, IFS and flame fractal tools. I'm not very skilled with these tools or any of the fractal programs that I had previously tried out so my fractal output is minimal. Canada had just won another gold medal which inspired me enough to venture over to the scary fractal tool (algorithms, formulas, math code are scary!!!)

So, I began with a new document with black background and chose the Full Saturation Spectrum CW gradient. Third step was heading over to Filters --> Render --> Nature ---> Flame.
I used a Sinusoidal flame, increased the size with the gradient I had previously chosen, then rendered it.

Well big whoop-de-doo! It sucked but I saved it in xcf format and went back to watching the Olympics (held here in Vancouver where I live). What do yah know, Canada wins another gold. I return to the boring xcf flame fractal. Opened another layer, used the same type of fractal, flipped it and merged it with the first fractal. Then I made one flat circle and one sphere / orb. To do that I got rid of my black background with the Color to Alpha filter. Duplicated the result several times to increase the color. For the circle. I took the non-black, newly created layers, merged them, and did a polar coordinate, rotate 180, and repeat polar coordinate and ended up with an orb. On the orb, I opened up GMIC and used the reflection tool. The small orb was created the same way but it without the use of GMIC. The end result is okay, certainly not a masterpiece, but it was fun to make a fractal without all those scary codes.

Gimp Tutorial
To create an orb in Gimp take a perfectly squared image. Click on Filters -----> Distort ----> Polar Coordinates. Keep Circle Depth at 100% -----> Uncheck "To Polar" box -----> Choose OK. Next step is to chose Layers -----> Transform ----> Rotate 180. Click on Filters ----> Reshow Polar Coordinates and this time CHECK the "To Polar" box. Choose OK.

Here is another and probably much better Gimp amazing circle tutorial

There are also a couple of Gimp scripts that will auto make your orb or amazing circle.

Using Gimp, I created numerous orb shapes and placed them inside a larger orbit.

I used a pattern I created in Gimp some time ago. I saturated the colors and tweaked the contrast. I was going to make a flower with this but I didn't get that far. Just a fun and playful kaleidoscope.. nothing to serious.
