Have you ever seen a tree-like pattern (fractal) on a piece of wood? These patterns are drawn by an embellishing technique known as Lichtenberg (Fractal) Wood Burning. The technique utilizes a high-voltage electric current to burn the layers of wood and expose the fractal patterns buried inside. Do you wonder who invented this dangerous technique
Neural networks are popular for image processing in today’s world. It can produce images as the output layer in a machine learning model. The output layer has all the desired features that you want in your image. Once you learn how to do it, there are endless possibilities for outputting an image through a convolutional
Fractals are complex and eye-catching shapes that are composed of parts that appear to be a smaller version of the whole. If you look closely, you’ll see examples of these shapes everywhere in natural systems. How do fractals appear in nature? Fractal shapes appear in nature as ferns, trees, snowflakes, lightning, plant shapes, river deltas,
Many artists are selling digital fantasy maps they’ve made in Wonderdraft. If you would like to sell maps that you have made, there are several important considerations to be made. In this post, I’ll cover some of the common nuances around licensing. It is legal to sell maps made in Wonderdraft. The license for the
There are many popular Wonderdraft assets you can download to make your maps better. In fact, the community is so active, that it can even be difficult to choose which assets you should get. In this article, I will review the 26 of the most popular Wonderdraft asset packs that I found and compiled by
Wonderdraft comes with many pre-installed assets, but sometimes you just can’t find something that your map really needs. Adding community-made assets can solve this issue, as there are literally hundreds of assets for you to download. In this article, I will lead you step-by-step on how to add assets to Wonderdraft. To add assets to
Visual Geometry Group (VGG) is a team of researchers at Oxford University that produced a common convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture. This now-famous CNN is also called VGG and became popular in 2014 after beating the famous 2012 AlexNet in a competition. If you want to know why VGG is so common and what makes
Algorithms can use machine learning to identify different objects and classify them for image recognition. This evolving technology includes using Data Augmentation to produce better-performing models. Machine learning models need to identify an object in any condition, even if it is rotated, zoomed in, or a grainy image. Researchers needed an artificial way of adding
Wonderdraft was released in 2018 and since has taken over the fantasy mapmaking community. Regardless of your experience in map creation, this article will give you everything you need to know about Wonderdraft, from features and drawbacks to controls and system requirements. Wonderdraft is a fantasy mapmaker, which is used by artists, gamemasters, and writers
A fractal is a complicated geometric shape characterized by its roughness that displays properties of self-similarity at various scales. They are made by iterating on a simple rule in a continuous recursive loop. So you may come to wonder, what is the most famous fractal? This article will discuss everything you need to know about
