Well I'm not much of an Artist, but I'm trying to pick up on things like Photoshop and Apophysis. So I'll post some of my creations here as I learn to use these programs more effectively.
My first Fractal Art

So how do you do a fractal?
Cool...I've been flying inside that thing before. It's called DXM. Heh.
You start by downloading Apophysis. That's pretty much the purpose it was created for. Apophysis is a freeware program for Windows. There are also plenty of tutorials out there (just do a search).Quote:

I think the other one has alot more depth. =)
Not bad, not bad at all, in fact, quite good :), keep posting, I like these things called arts.:P
First one with a real name! Simple entitled "Chaos." I worked on this for about half hour-45 min, but this one unlike the others took a whopping 3 hours 17 minutes and 2.17 seconds to render, where as the others took approx. 45 minutes.

PS: Nina, I just saw your first reply :lmao:

The first one however, I have to give some credit away as I used parts of a technique I read about on DeviantART.
Nonetheless, I'm proud of these :D

Two more that I made today, both spawn from the same design. After making the first one, I toyed with the design a little more which got me the second result.

Those are just too good!*Pats on the back*
I so wish I could do that.
If you like geometrical patterns. You should look into things like cymatics. Natures own creation based on vibration. And really a part of evolution that everybody shuns for some reason. Its also related to logical and creative thinking but that is another thread.
These are really cool, Exo. Where did you learn to do stuff like this?
No where really actually. I heard of the program, downloaded it and started experimenting. I read some stuff on it here and there, that light green and blue alienish like one I used someone's technique for though.
Exo, I just tried out that fractal making program, and I can make some funny shapes, but I'm confused as to how I render what I've made?
Okay, I found it, but I'm still confused about one thing! How do I make my own stuff? Right now, I can only modify the builtin stuff?
Theres a tab called "Transform Editor" where you'll see a grid with the amount of triangles (transformations) you have in that image. You can add or delete, as well as modify the settings that create the shapes, move them around ect. Its a little difficult to go indepth, but I'll try to go into some specifics later.
Yeah, I sorta figured that, but how do I start my own fractal? I mean, right now I can only open a premade one, and mess around with that one?
I made this one, 12 minute rendering time, made blue in Photoshop
Caution: 1.3 MB
Well really it doesn't matter which fractal you start with, as they're all based on the positioning and settings of each of the triangles. Though to make an entire blank one, select one, open the transform editor and hit the first button on the left I think it is. Make sure to add a second transformation though, you won't get anything interesting unless you have 2+ transformations.
New entries. Heres one of my original fractals with alternate colours:
