First of all, I must give a huge thank you to technochroma for getting me to a core membership. Once I finished with the Apophysis Challenge series I allowed my premium membership to expire for several years and I'd like to be a little more active in the community again.

That being said, I have several projects on tap.

1.) The overwhelming consensus is that I should reboot the fractal periodic table. I am very much looking forward to this project and will be creating a project timetable for it soon.

2.) I've been working with Blender 3D more and want to start posting some artwork from there.

3.) Of course, plenty of fractal goodness to come. I still have a lot of tricks up my sleeve and ideas floating around in my head. It's time that I always run out of!

4.) Here's where I want some input. My sketching / drawing skills are fairly atrocious. Today I started sketching a bird a day, and I plan to do this for the next year. It will only be during work-days and a few off days, but I hope to amass a good amount of skills during this time. Would you be interested in seeing these daily sketches and possibly providing me some critiques and insight or should I just keep it to myself? Please post your comments here and let me know your thoughts!

What's going on with the fractal forums? I tried to go today and there's just an error.

Yesterday Clepsidras tagged me to post my most recent fractal workings. Fortunately I was working on fractal just then, something I don't get to do much of anymore. From what I understand, I'm supposed to post a screenshot of the fractal editor.





To carry on, I'm tagging Jimpan1973 &  Kondratij

I've used several 3D programs in the past, starting with Lightwave (before it was modo) in the late nineties/early 2000's. Then I was able to use a version of C4D which I really enjoy. Now I'd like to take a foray into Blender.

I would love to hear any tips you have or if you could please link me to some resources either here on dA or offsite I would be most grateful! I'm happy for any type of resources, whether dealing with rendering, modeling, animation, programming, and of course fractal related!

I recently donated to get the high-res rendering version of Incendia EX.

I really need to render at the highest resolution (higher actually, but sadly the program only allows 8192x8192).
 
I have a quad core i7 processor with 32 gb of ram. This render should not be a problem. I've tried rendering on different resolutions and the 8192 is the only one that crashes. I have changed the number of cores to no avail. Every time I hit render at 8192 the program throws and error and closes.

Any help would greatly be appreciated!
