Administration
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.

Apophysis Plugins - Creating them in Visual Studio
Hey folks,
during the last week, I had C-91 (https://www.deviantart.com/c-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
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 throu
Apophysis Rendering
It has been brought to my attention that CMWVisualArts (https://www.deviantart.com/cmwvisualarts) 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

you just copy the file you downloaded into your apophysis folder and run it. There is no install option for the latest upgrades.
Fantastic club, I am going to learn Apophysis soon for my architecture course. Soon I may be able to send some work to the club? Would love to be part of it if possible? I am already watching you.
I may want to join this...
Question: how does one use the program? Do I, if I want to make something with the program, have to understand complex maths or something?

Thank you very much!!
This all sounds/looks encouraging, I'll certainly try this out when the Mac version is complete...
Thanks for the efforts in that direction [link]

Anyone with an Intel-based Mac who wants to run Apophysis may want to try CrossOver which allows you to run Apo without installing Windows. Working great for me with Apo 2.08b under Leopard.
Check my gallery for proof.

thanx to a2j3 for recommending Apopsysis
I'll try not to torture you with the images while learning
but, you know how it is.

Hello all,
Pretty new to fractals but am grinding out what I can. "School of hard knocks" at work.
I've spent most of the last year at Flickr where I post my photographs.
[link]
Then the Fractal bug got me and DA seems to be the home of the fractal artist. So.....here I am (I want to be one too).
The quality of the fractal work I see at deviantART is something to strive for.
Apophysis has become part of my life. It's strange sleeping with someone you don't know. Given all the resources I find on DA, it's only a matter of time until the relationship improves.
Good luck to all.

Is Apophysis avalible for Mac?
There isn't an official version for it yet, but there are some projects in the pipeline to get Apophysis onto Mac's.
Oxidizer is the closest program I know of for Apophysis-like fractals for Mac, but that's about it.

Thx~ I'm trying it now~
A fellow deviant buddy recommended this site if I wanted to understand more about Fractal art... I understand that the end result of using Apophysis helps one to create amazing geometric art, but after reading your Journal... 
it sounds a bit too complicated for me since the word "mathematics" was used lol. I was wondering, is fractal art easy to learn and do for a complete beginner?
it sounds a bit too complicated for me since the word "mathematics" was used lol. I was wondering, is fractal art easy to learn and do for a complete beginner?I'm glad you asked! Contrary to popular belief, Apophysis is one of the most user-friendly fractal programs out there right now. A lot of the users of Apophysis have little to no knowledge of the math that goes behind it. But that doesn't mean that it's "hard" in any respect. It took me about a month to fully get the hang of Apophysis, and I fully believe it was worth it. Of course, the time it takes to fully "get" Apophysis varies from person to person is different, but it's not that bad. I encourage you to give it a try.
Also, if you do decide to try it, you can check out our beginner tutorials here: [link]

I'm always curious to know about new things--especially things that are interesting 
. Perhaps I shall give it a try in the future because it looks fun to do
