glitch pools

Hi I have been enjoying putting my artwork on nftshowroom the last couple of weeks.
I would like to share a little about how I am making some of my recent images.

Using Kandid a generative art program, Blender, Jwildfire fractal software and Gimp image editor for this short series.

I use Jwildfire with a random fractal rendered at very high quality 2000x2000 to make a hdr image to use in blender as an environment map.

Kandid is used to create the two images in this case for a displacement map for a subdivided plane mesh in blender and the other for a surface texture.

I really like the painterly images you can create with this software

I choose from random selections ones that I like.

I use these for displacement and a texture map.

Here is a view showing the jwildfire image as an environment map and light source and the mesh displacement.

I changed the texture map to a more colourful one and then rendered the image using a transparent cube to create a water effect.
The image is very dark but that is fine.

In gimp image editor I adjusted the colour curves.

Thanks for reading :-)
