JWildfire: experiments with the base fractal "Rainbow Galaxy" part 1

Hello!
Today I begin a series of experiments with the base fractal "Rainbow Galaxy". For a description of its creation, see this lesson.

First, I will change the position and size of the triangles and observe how this will affect the resulting image. If you want to get exactly the same image, manually enter the coordinate digits, you can take this data from the screenshots.

When you move the first triangle it turned out that it affects the color pattern inside the circle, which initially looked like a scattering of planets. And you can get a lot of options. I liked this pattern:

Its size also matters:

Then I switch to post-transformation mode (PostTF button). Moving the first triangle in this mode also has a strong influence on the fractal. Only the patterns turn out to be less symmetrical, if you strongly move from the center, then the colored spots go beyond the boundaries of the circle. So I decided on this option:

I disable the posttransformation mode, load the basic parameters and go to the second triangle.
Its movement affects the coloration, the distribution of spheres within a large circle, and also the shape of the circle in the center:

I also recommend experimenting with the rotation and size of this triangle, all these parameters have a significant impact on the picture.

In the post-transformation mode, I do not advise you to move the triangle far from the center - the colored spheres become very small and scatter to the sides. But a small shift from the origin gives good results:

The turn of the third triangle has come. Again I load the base fractal and disable posttransformation. His move is not so interesting. Almost no changes, only a few blurry color spots on the image are moving. In post-transformation mode, I also did not achieve anything:

I pass to the fourth triangle. Again, no results either in the normal mode or in the post-transformation mode. The same story with the fifth.
At the sixth triangle, finally, luck returned to me. The first small shift brought change:

In the posttransformation mode, moving the sixth triangle changes the general geometry of the fractal. Circles turn into squares or become similar in shape to a flower:

Reducing the size of the triangle in this mode makes the fractal look like a bush or a bouquet:

Increase - stretches the pattern to the entire visible area:

And of course the final triangle. Its movement in the usual mode "breaks" the inner circle and it is divided into four spheres:

A black emptiness forms in the center, so I can not call this a good option.

This concludes my experiments. In the next lesson, I will experiment with plugins in this base fractal.
See you soon!
