Over the years this group has been a great inspiration to many. It has come to our attention that real life has put a burden on us older admins :).  So, we are looking for new energetic apophsis artists that are willing to take on the task of getting this group active again.Requirements would be that you need to have a good knowledge of how to use apophysis, energetic attitude to assist other artists in learning how to use apophysis, and the want to get activities going within this group.Please have apophysis work in your gallery as you apply we will be looking at your portfolio to see how knowledgeable you are with apophysis.Please apply ...

Apophysis Plugins - Creating them in Visual Studio

Aug 20, 2014
Hey folks,during the last week, I had :devC-91: around (:heart:) and obviously, we did some fractal work together :w00t: During this, we needed to create some ad-hoc plugins to do the things we wanted to do. Well - not that it's something new for me because I kinda do this all the time but it gave me the idea that maybe I should write up how you actually create the plugins with x86 / x64 processor architecture support. I'm well aware that it's not very well documented so I try to fill this gap now with this little guide.First off, I don't like to call it a "new" way to create plugins. You still create them with the same interface you had b...

Heya!

Joe here, aka Meddler Inc, coming out of lurk-land and saying hello.Now, we have been a bit lag in things, so allow me to apologize on behalf of the Apo team. We will try to get everything peanut-butter smooth in the coming weeks. To all who have submitted work to us, and have not seen it on the feed, we implore you to re-submit if possible.Which leads me to the next topic. As a reminder to all new and old members of the group, you are allowed only four submissions within a 30-day (one month) period. This might be a typo on my part; if any of the admins wish to correct me, feel free to.We are always looking for new artwork to look through ...

Apophysis Rendering

Jun 20, 2012
It has been brought to my attention that :deviKill-Animation: is willing to render Apophysis params for free at high quality.  I was informed that this service is available to assist those in need of high quality renderings that their computer just won't allow due to not memory.  If you are interested and the choice is yours here is a link to the journal explaining everything in detail.:thumb304211627:the basics are listed below:I'm willing to do so, for nothing in return. Just note these few things:1.) ALL of the renders will be 10,000 density, so if you don't like high quality, don't do it. 2.) They will be whatever size you ask me to ma...
