i'll try to post something new someday. also i've been reorganizing my favorites but i still have many to sort out. 

Hi. I has planed on returning to being more active on here this week but stuff came up. And I’m having anxiety stuff so I’m afraid I can’t be counted on for a bit. I’ll try to update when I can. Hope you understand

Time to try another new rendering method, early results promising on 200x200 pixels. Going for a 3d effect again, iterative again too by laying one image on top of another over and over. Effect started to become noticeable at frame 90 or so of the first test, new shading method makes the early pictures very dark, but it's necessary to have dark spots to contrast with the latter bright spots as much as possible. Time to run a few hundred frames at 800x800 or larger

Just figured out the maximum render size of my current program, was too lazy to do it before. I can render functions/fractals at up to 7200x7200 Takes quite some time but I can test a formula easy at a smaller resolution then let it render at full size overnight. I can also have it generate a sequence of images, by having it auto add more parts to the function each time. Filesizes are quite large when I do hue based pixels, but once I pick some formulas to render using palates they will be quite a bit smaller on average due to less colors, easier to compress. Trying to come up with a good twilight sparkle function currently.

Progress on programming has been slow recently due to a number of factors, including wanting to make a user interface so I don't have to comment out the previous formula and recompile every time I want to make a picture For other types of pictures, I'm basically having to relearn vector graphics from the ground up, i'm way out of practice from not having done it in a long time. Good news is I'm figuring out the basics quickly, so i'll probably have at least some different hair patterns up by the weekend, i'll probably lump a bunch together as a concept sheet.
