My Bio
Richard began using Apophysis 7X on May 19, 2013 to generate images algorithmically. On September 21, 2013, Chaotica was added to the software toolkit to take advantage of its excellent rendering engine. Richard concluded his fractal imagery experiment in December 2013.
This deviantART profile picture and the corresponding avatar were created algorithmically. If you would like to see the equation that produced the picture it is available at Wolfram|Alpha. Simply click on the link and wait a few seconds for the image to appear and then a few more seconds for the equation to be displayed.

Tools of the Trade

All images are algorithmic renderings generated in Apophysis 7X. Some of the images have been re-rendered using Chaotica.-- Richard Johnstone (December 31, 2013)

On May 19, 2013, I downloaded some free software, Apophysis 7X. I found that I could use it to algorithmically generate a few very interesting images and hundreds of not so interesting ones. As I burned through the midnight oil working with the software, I learned to take more control of the variables and variations upon which the renderings are based.My previous experience with algorithmic renderings was in 1994, when I spent hundreds of hours with the software that came with Julien C. Sprott's book entitled Strange Attractors: Creating Patterns in Chaos (ISBN 1-55851-298-5). The functions and features of the software that is available to...
