Creativity Tip for Maps/Worlds Creation with 3D Fractal Art

[Diego Araujo]

I like to get inspiration from randomness in shapes. Fractal art is a great way to do this.

I was introduced to Mandelbulber (http://www.mandelbulber.com/) by Gleb Alexandrov (http://www.creativeshrimp.com/how-to...e-picture.html) and am always having fun creating fractal art with it.

Sometimes you just need to find some interesting shape in the middle of the massive fractal mess and tweak a bit with some settings to get some interesting result.

And by playing with these settings you may be able to find the shape for a continent or planet for your mapping adventures.
