The only place\u00a0 I ever go on a regular basis to see fractal art is Fractalforums.com.\u00a0 I don’t pay much attention to the names only the artwork.\u00a0 So when a name like reallybigname<\/em> becomes familiar to me it can only be because he’s been consistently uploading interesting work.<\/p>\n

Mayan Trickster #4 by reallybigname<\/p><\/div>\n

It was the colors that caught my eye, but on viewing the larger image I was genuinely shocked to see the incredible detail and stunning 3D depth to the image.\u00a0 This was apparently made with Jesse Dierks’ Mandelbulb 3D but I’ve never seen anything like it from that program or any other.<\/p>\n

As the title suggests, this is one of a series of images uploaded to Fractalforums.com and here’s an even more recent one:<\/p>\n

Mayan Trickster #6 - Shambhalaya by reallybigname<\/p><\/div>\n

Everything is just great; the color, the lighting.\u00a0 And like the first one the incredible detail is …incredible!\u00a0 Really crisp, high-quality rendering too.\u00a0 This is a new benchmark for Jesse’s program and the 3D fractal category probably too.<\/p>\n

Reallybigname must just have a flair for fractal “piloting” because he’s been making these sorts of highly detailed, geometric images for a few months now.\u00a0 This one from May, 2011:<\/p>\n

Illuminaughty by reallybigname<\/p><\/div>\n

Reminds me of the crisp, detailed and very stylish images<\/a> by “blob” I reviewed in a post a year ago.\u00a0 This is the geometric engines of fractal art working in high gear; who could ever make artwork like this by hand?\u00a0 And could they do it better?\u00a0 The best any hand made artist could do to approach this sort of thing would be to copy<\/em> something like this.<\/p>\n

Wooden Ruins by reallybigname<\/p><\/div>\n

The first genuine all wood 3D fractal image.\u00a0 Wooden fractals?\u00a0 Doesn’t it look like wood to you?<\/p>\n

This reallybigname guy has too much talent.\u00a0 Who is he?<\/p>\n

I did some link clicking and quickly discovered his real name is Forest Walz, hailing from San Jose, California (or Costa Rica?).\u00a0 He has a website, REALLYBIGNAME.COM<\/a> where it tells me that he’s… well, a screenshot is easier:<\/p>\n

Now you know who reallybigname is<\/p><\/div>\n

I knew this guy was talented.\u00a0 I’ll bet he has a YouTube channel.\u00a0 Could it be called “reallybigname”?\u00a0 Let’s try that and see:<\/p>\n
