Isometric Fractal Art Tutorial - Part 2In this tutorial, i will explain how i created some of my recent "isometric" works. For example: Softwares needed: Apophysis and Chaotica.Prerequisites: you will need some previous knowledge on how to use Apo and Chaotica. If you have any doubts, please check those out:Apophysis ManualChaotica ManualXaos RevealedChaotica Editor BasicsPlugins used: square.Tip 4 - creating blocks from blankYou can use weights (xaos) to create blocks or groups of elements, to move around several parts of the til

Mandelbulber 2.04Mandelbulber v2 2.04Free download (executables for win32 and win64 and multiplatform source): http://sourceforge.net/projects/mandelbulber/Website: http://www.mandelbulber.com/With big help from Sebastian Jennen I have finished new release of Mandelbulber. This time there was focus on implementation of NetRender engine. This allows to render the same image or animation on several computers connected with Ethernet network. The program shares and schedule work for all connected workstations and uses all available CPUs.Other significant change is implementation of ray-traced transparency. There are used Fresnel's equations for refraction to improve realism of image.Examples are here: <a href="http://www.fractalforums.com/gallery-b177/almost-apollosphere/" target="_blank">
