A simple tutorial describing how to create some pretty interesting fractals. It's not too hard; the ultimate generalized synopsis is "fill in the reference triangle with other triangles."
Please be sure to show me what you make from this tutorial because I'd love to see it
The possibilities of shape and color in these fractals is awesome!
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me!

Grain (versus smoothness) is generally a sign that you didn't render the fractal out long enough, though you can add grain intentionally as an effect for textural purposes.
Another quick question:When I saved my fractal as a PNG, the background turned from black to white. Adding in a black background (added in SAI if that helps any) isn't solving the problem. How do I make it so it appears black when it's a PNG?
If you go to "Tools->Settings", there should be a "PNG Transparency" portion under the "General" tab. If you want transparency, this should be "Enabled," and otherwise disabled. I don't know how SAI acts with layer information or transparency, so it might have eaten it up upon the import? Assuming it saved with transparency, it's strange that adding a black layer behind the fractal layer would not respect the alpha of the PNG.
If all you care about is a black background, then disable the transparency described above and open the "Adjustment" tab (view->adjustment). The background color should be set to black.
If this doesn't work, let me know what's going on!

Here is my effort, thanks for the tut!
I'd have to dig for the params to be sure.
I made a few of these things, and saw that no tutorials existed on how to make them. This is just a "tile" of sorts...so I'd hardly be surprised if people have made them in their own
Thank you again.
Thanks again.
Here is my piece done with your great tuto (=
I used DeltaA on a final transform to fill the empty space and nothing more.
I still want to play a lot more.
Cheers!

Definitly I prefer less triangles. Don't know why. Heheh.
"Somehow I lost the FX information. oO I have the basic triangles I set but I do not have the fx information. I will never be able to render this one again."
And indeed I lost the FX that gives the curve look. I can try to guess that I must have used curl or wave transform somewhere and mess around with the FX triangle.
The distinct partitions with the colors was made by setting each triangle with a different color. You have to experiment several gradient because not all can make a good look.
Hope this helps.
Yes, I prefer less triangles as well; all you need is just one or two large triangles, and the rest can be whatever size you want
