Great news for Apo users!

1) The ESSENTIAL PLUGIN PACK is just freshly released;

fav.me/dbo39ns

This is a fundamental resource if you have a 64 bit computer (and you should really have

) because it contains the most important ones you need for render into your Apo x64.

(I also recently released an additional pack and also more x64 plugins are in my gallery.)

fav.me/dblov1m sry for the promotion tho ...

2) IFStile has been recently updated!

This program contains a huge load of very, VERY beautiful tilings (examples folder) that you can use in your Apo works (possibly crediting the program, since he gave them away for 0 money...).
It has the DIRECT .flame save format available; you just save and open it into Apo7x, at 1:1 quality. Works for all 2D tilings as of now.
Just change the gradient/colors

or if you are more expert, try more things. (like using parts of the tilings in a xaos fractal, since they are an awesome "texture").

Have a great time playing with fractals... Luca

What Is Fractal Art?I recently partnered up with a gallery owner in Canada that has agreed to display some of my art. I haven't sold anything yet, and he mentioned that the reason may be because not too many people are very familiar with the art form. He suggested that I do a write up on what fractal art actually is, so here is what I came up with, without going into too much technical detail about the mathematics behind it all.
What Is Fractal Art?
by Tiffany McFarlane
Digital/Fractal Artist
Math and Art have always been closely connected. There is a hidden layer of beauty in the world of mathematical formulas. Fractal art can be looked at as a fusion of the two. When exploring the visual side of math, order can be found in what seems to be total chaos. It can be used to produce forms of elegant symmetry as well as familiar structures in nature. These patterns provide the foundation for many artists to create beautiful works of art and the source of their inspiration.

Pythagoras tree in Stucture SynthFractal Art Week
In this tutorial, I will explain how to make simple Pythagoras trees in Structure Synth.
Getting started
You can learn what a Pythagoras Tree is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagoras_tree_%28fractal%29. A good example of this type of fractals is the work below:

Also check the basic Structure Synth commands here: http://structuresynth.sourceforge.net/learn.php
I will explain the formulae and rules that will be used, but still it is useful to take a look at the basics.
Building a basic tree
The first step is to create the "trunc" rectangle:
  rule base{{s 0.1 1 0.1} box}
  {s 100 100 0.1 z -0.5 color grey } box
  base

In the code above, the first line defines a rule called "base", which creates the red block which will be our trunk. The {s 0.1 1 0.1} defines the size of this block.
The second line draws a huge grey block th

L-SystemsFractal Art Week
Today, we will chat about L-systems and what they have to do with fractals

Substitution systems
In a substitution system, we use a set of rules to transform elements of a sequence. Like this:
      Rule [1 → 0 and 0 → 11]
      Starting sequence: 01
      Step 1: 110
      Step 2: 0011
      Step 3: 111100
      Step 4: 00001111
      Step 5: 111111110000
      ...
A Lindenmayer system (L-system) is a string rewriting system, a substitution system that works with strings. It consists of an "alphabet" of symbols, rules (which expand symbols into larger strings - in the example above 1 → 0 and 0 → 11), an "axiom" - the starting sequence - and a way to translate the obtai

our old (2012) czech localization for apophysis 7x15b is not around to download, are you interested? Cz-loc

rubydeva Featured By Owner Sep 6, 2018

hello groupe,

im a fan of apophysis 7x and im loving the picture output this program is able to.
i thought about, what would it look like if i could animate the pictures so it looks like maybe bursting supernovae or blooming flowers or something like this.

so im in search of a script or a program to automate the process of changing parameters, setting up the render details and render an image, than slightly changing the parameters and render another pic and so on, till i have hundreds of pics of a flame that is slowly transforming and i can make an animation out of it.

is there something to help me with this plan?

thanks in advance

AkuraPare Featured By Owner Sep 6, 2018

i am not sure are you still interested?

if you use apo 7x15b there is internal script editor and possibility to write and test own scripts (relatively easy to learn its basic logic and syntax), then you can change any params and render results in usual cycles. you can of course use others scripts too.

if you do not mind that i am very slow lately, send me note and i will find some old scripts to explain basic tricks on some of your flames.

i never tried apophymator but it is very complex script which you can use for many of your projects but not sure if it is good for learning basics.

wish you a lot of fun with fractals

rubydeva Featured By Owner Mar 24, 2018

There is a program called Apophymator, it's not really easy to use. www.fractalforums.com/apophysi…
You can also use Chaotica to make animations and on the site's front page they have the basics of using the program to make animations.
I asked on the fractal chats group on discord for help with your question.

Ah this is not a photoshop resources group. While we do have fractal brushes for photoshop and gimp, it's not a group just for photoshop.

Hello everyone, I am on a mac and I am running apophysis through wine bottle, i thought I deleted everything to start over my program began messing up. Now that I have reinstalled my program, my variation/plugins are not showing, I have gone under TOOLS->SETTINGS->ENVIRONMENT, when I click on the folder to expand the options there is nothing except, DESKTOP->COMPUTER and nothing is under the computer icon. I am absolutely frustrated at this point. Can someone assist me please.
