Soooo Game Development Art Project Educate has been wrapped up nicely eh? Was it informative and did you enjoy it? I hope so! This week starting today is 3-dimensional week!! :la: As I am still the temporary CV for the category, I figured having a project educate week along with GDA would be both informative, and supportive of the 3D community.
So what is in store this week? Well!
Day 1: a mini contest!! GDA had one, 3D should have one too :la: , repeat update of the 3-differences contest, overview of the week
Day 2: two Q/A's with talented community 3-d artists along with features of their work
Day 3: Why we have the different categories

Project Educate - Vector Week Intro!
Hello everyone, and welcome to Project Educate: Vector Week!! I'm DomiSM (https://www.deviantart.com/domism), and I'm in the Community Volunteer in charge of the Vector Categories on dA :D
This week I hope to bring a bit of light to help artists understand more about what Vectors are...and what they aren't. I also hope to bring some help to those who are interested in delving into the Vector medium, as well as hopefully giving the more experienced Vectorists some inspiration :heart:
So, without any further ado....
What is Vector Art?
In digital art there are two layer formats: Raster and Vector. Raster formats are based in pixels and vector is based in paths and poin

PE: A Guide To Vexel Art
:star: Welcome
Welcome to Vexel Art week with Project Educate! I am TheLastHuzzah (https://www.deviantart.com/thelasthuzzah), your host for the week. Today I am introducing you to Vexel Art, and digging nice and deep to aid the understanding of this fantastic media. I’m more than happy to answer any questions you may have, so if anything confuses you or you’d like clarification, please don’t hesitate to comment!

Vexel Art takes a great deal of time, patience and skill, contrary to public opinion. This misunderstanding has arisen because, sadly, it is often (incorrectly) said that vexel ar

Pythagoras tree in Stucture Synth
Fractal Art Week
In this tutorial, I will explain how to make simple Pythagoras trees in Structure Synth.
Getting startedYou can learn what a Pythagoras Tree is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagoras_tree_%28fractal%29. A good example of this type of fractals is the work below:
Also check the basic Structure Synth commands here: http://structuresynth.sourceforge.net/learn.php
I will explain the formulae and rules that will be used, but still it is useful to take a look at the basics.
Building a basic tree
The first step is to create the "trunc" rectangle:
rule base{{s 0.1 1 0.1} box}
{s 100 100 0.1 z -0.5 color grey } box

Non-destructive Editing in Photoshop
Photomanip Weekend
Photoshop has a great arsenal of tools that let you work non-destructively. Let's take a look at three of the most important options.
1. Layer & Vector Masks
Have you ever cut something out using the eraser only to find out later (when your undos are no longer available) that you cut too much? Use Layer and Vector Masks instead of the eraser!
A Layer Mask (Layer > Layer Mask > Add Layer Mask) is a raster mask that can go from white through grey to black: anything you paint black will become invisible, anything white is visible and all greys are degrees of opacity. You can use any brush to paint on it or you can

Today, we will chat about L-systems and what they have to do with fractals =D
Substitution systemsIn a substitution system, we use a set of rules to transform elements of a sequence. Like this:
Rule [1 → 0 and 0 → 11]
Starting sequence: 01
Step 1: 110
Step 2: 0011
Step 3: 111100
Step 4: 00001111
Step 5: 111111110000
...
A Lindenmayer system (L-system) is a string rewriting system, a substitution system that works with strings. It consists of an "alphabet" of symbols, rules (which expand symbols into larger strings - in the example above 1 →

I wanted to start with a tribute; this deviant was supposed to be one of those featured today, alas he deactivated his account. Displaying magnificently crafted 3D fractals in a variety of styles, his work is certainly noteworthy and obviously worthy of praise. His incredible methods of lighting the pieces each gave unique perceptions for the viewer to consider.

Fractal Art Week
Hello and welcome to a new edition of Meet the Fractal Community, a forthnightly series of interviews that highlights a member of our community. The series will go back and focus on fractal artists.
Today, let's have a closer look to aartika-fractal-art (https://www.deviantart.com/aartika-fractal-art).

Fractal Art Week
Hello everyone from heavenriver (https://www.deviantart.com/heavenriver), with my hopes that you all are enjoying the Fractal Week!
Today, we'll be looking at yet another long-term UF artist, and one that has an incredibly personal style at that: FarDareisMai (https://www.deviantart.com/fardareismai)!
One can tell at first glance, by looking at her fractals, that these are examples of fractal art far beyond the usual. But what is so peculiar and unique about her style?
For one thing, she doesn't have just one: the previous picture is one of her canvas-style UF works, which wisely combines the empty space in the fractal insides with the striped, intricate and contrasting colours of the outside, and tha

Structured IFS Fractals - Basic Elements
Fractal Art Week
This article is about structred IFS fractals - basically, stuff made with Apophysis, Chaotica, and other similar software. Those aren't formal names of the things - just a little system that makes things easier for me.
A structured fractal is basically composed of main structure (framework), fillers and effects.
This decomposition, of course, is not universal and not even unique (one may see a transform as filler, while another as framework, for example).
Main StructureThis is the transforms or a group of transforms that create the main shapes of your fractal. Removing or replacing one of those transforms with something el

A warm hello to the fractal community from heavenriver (https://www.deviantart.com/heavenriver)!
As a contribution to the upcoming Project Educate: Fractal Week, I present you with this article which will focus on (hopefully) useful advice on how to make your fractals better, by paying attention to a few simple, yet crucial components of fractal art. I will be using my own fractals as examples, not because I think they are the best of the best, but rather because there is criticism to do, and I would rather not inadvertently hurt anyone's feelings by taking their own fractals as examples. :)

Hello! Welcome to the Fractal Art week at projecteducate (https://www.deviantart.com/projecteducate)! :la: My name is C-91 (https://www.deviantart.com/c-91) and I take care of the Fractal Art gallery as Community Volunteer.
What is a fractal?
A fractal is a natural phenomenon or a mathematical set that exhibits a repeating pattern that displays at every scale.Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Fractals are an intrinsic aspect of Nature, and can be found in a multitude of elements, such as plants...
minerals...
...or fossils, just to name a few examples. :)
The beauty of Fractal Art lies not only in its close relationship with the laws of Nature, but also in its diversity: there are a lot
Fractal Art Week
Hello! :wave:
For the Fractal Week, CRFractals (https://www.deviantart.com/crfractals) is proud to announce:
Fractal Critique Challenge
Last week we asked you to submit a fractal artwork to a dedicated folder in CRFractals (https://www.deviantart.com/crfractals)'s gallery (Critiqueable, click here to view). You've been able to submit your deviations for a week, till yesterday, when it's been closed. :la:
Now we ask you to pick a fractal and critique it! A showcase of the critiqueable fractals:
This is not only a chance for you to perfect your critiquing abilities, but also a chance for an artist to get good advices and improve their work.
And it's also a chance to win prizes. :eyes:
