MANDELMANIA

While exploring an Apophysis tutorial for creating Wires and Tubes Fractals I found how to create the classic Mandelbrot in Apophysis 2.06c beta 3D Hack.

Here are a few:

CLASSIC MANDELBROT

The below was created with the same Wires & Tubes tutorial.

COOKING WITH GAS

Finding how to create these fractals has given me a lot of joy. Feel like I'm taking Apophysis fractals away from the types of images usually associated with this program, opening new possibilities. Keep wondering what will be the next amazement this extraordinary program will reveal as I continue this journey of discovery.

Carried on the Shoulders of Giants

My latest batch of Apophysis images. All of them owe more to the genius of the DeviantART crew than my Apophysis abilities.
Go here for the production details.

Julia's Star Flowers.

In honor of Julia Gillard
who today became our 1st woman Deputy Prime Minister.
Better times ahead!
Well done Julia!

Hear This!
It sings.

Wind of the Sun.

Kaeltyk Egg.
My version of Kaeltyk's flame.

ApoObsession
Nights of Apophysis can do this to you.

Today is K1.
The first day of Kevin. At last the country can become more humane under his guidance. The harshness of the last government did not create a happy population. Here's hoping Kevin, Julia and their team can right the wrongs and get us fulfilled in all we can be as a nation in the planetary arena. The coming trials of climate, economics, overpopulation and so much more beyond our control, will be a daunting challenge.

All good children go to Kevin! He's definitely one of the good guys. Get behind the new team and be part of the solution. Together we can do it.

Congratulations to all who helped make the change to a better Australia.

Cool

WIRED FLOWER

It floats.

Apophysis Rules

More Apophysis, some better than others.

Rainbow Bridge to the Golden Road to Tomorrow

Something tells me I'll be embarrassed about this in due course -
somewhat lurid (=takky).

Fire Beast

Remembering Greece & rest of S.Europe & California recently.

Flowery, Flowery Night

Learning to make flowers w thanks to Gygrazok on DevianART

Pearly Spiral

Um...er...
..last light of a sulphrous sunset on a mystyTwysty Mt. Athos?

I am getting it...slowly......

Apophysis

I've never been addicted to anything before. Suddenly I'm finding myself possessed by Apophysis, something so irresistible, so all devouring, pure fascinatio.

The following are some of my recent attempts to understand how Apophysis works.
The dog is still walking me.

These images only evolved via me due to various generous genius , mostly to be found on the DeviantART site. Cabin Tom, Claire Jones, Halcyon83, Ali, x-seraphin, Rozrr, shrapnlHunter, shortgreenpigg, shaun_rules_4eva, Sya, Saisao, exper, being just a few I owe more than I can say - scripts, flames, tutorials, gradients, tips and the art they produce themselves - all so inspirational.

The following I'd especially like to thank:

Mark Townsend for Apophysis
Erik Reckase for FLAM3
Joel Faber for tutorials and variations
Michael Faber for tutorials
Peter "Zueuk" Sdobnov for 3D and other variations
Piotr Borys for his 2.06 work
Elizabeth Tomchek for her scripts
Thomas Desloges for his scripts
Claire Jones for her tutorials
shaun_rules_4eva for his scripts, his art & just being the crazy spirit he is.

Thanks all of you.

I can't call these my own work, they all owe too much to the sources they evolved from. It's rather like saying you grew the fruit on a tree, when the tree grew the fruit , someone else planted & tended the tree for many years and you just harvested the latest crop

So I dedicate these to you, (above), the Wizards of Apophysis.

Eggs.
I ran the shortgreenpigg's Jelly Bean script over a random flame & twitched it.



Some Of All Fears.

Flaming Arrow

FU 2


Another shaft thru what once was my heart, now polymorfd to the above holey bowl...
so yr arrow goes thru & on anon thru multiverses to maybe land on some lifeless alien asteroid & fizzle to extinction.
FU 2 is my response.

Fractal art needs no defense, no apology. It speaks to those with the intelligence to grok its amazement, its wonder, its magic. Those who think it's boring, samesamesame are just dodos. Move on into Anu World. Have some fun.

FRACTAL EXPLORATIONS

Today I did the startup tutorial of Fractal Explorer, took the image to Photoshop, gave it the Mehdi kaleidoscope treatment and came up with 20 beautiful images, all in same color balances, but so different. Here are 3 of them:

Divine Geometry.

More variations from one image, only this time I've discovered Mind Blowing Fractals, created images, taken them to Photoshop, played with colors & put them thru the Mehdi kaleidoscope Photoshop plug-in filter. Come up with hundreds of astounding images, each one a WOW gasp of delight. Next step is to animate them.

These ones are just a few from a set of 30, all from the one original MBFractal.

They take me back to the Alhambra, where the Moorish Divine Geometry and the sounds of water flowing and bubbling in fountains illuminated me at my deepest levels in an experience that still brings thrills in the remembrance.

This last image, part of the same set, is a cut-out mounted on gradient backgrounds.
