This is the proof that it exists some infinities bigger than other infinities...

I just found out that Apophysis and Chaotica exist, despite seeing tons of beautiful fractals on Deviantart for years. I'm wondering, have you used Chaotica alongside Apophysis? And if so, what might be the benefits or drawbacks of using one over the other, foregoing their difference in price?

zy0rg Featured By Owner Nov 13, 2015 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I've mostly used Apophysis rather than Chaotica. But that's probably just a personal preference.
Chaotica is good for rendering fractals. It uses all processor cores and thus the rendering takes much less time.
Apophisis is a bit more user-friendly in term of creating (programming, drawing) fractals.
Chaotica is under active commercial development right now, and Apophysis didn't change much since version 2.09 (September 2009).

You should visit the Aposhack chatroom and ask people there.
I haven't used made fractals for quite a while, so I'm not aware of current situation with Chaotica and if it is already more user-friendly than Apophysis.

Cheers and have fun making fractals!

Hey m8 Awesome works! Im graphic designer and Im wondering if I can use your picture, modify the colors and use it as a background of one of my customer cards. I will donate . Thanks

zy0rg Featured By Owner Sep 15, 2015 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Hi and thanks

If you need the picture for personal non-commercial use then feel free to use it without any payment.
If you intend to post it publicly then add a link to this page in your post.
If you need it for commercial use then some symbolic payment would be enough.
If you need higher resolution picture (7680x4320px or higher) then contact me in a note and we'll discuss the price personally.

Macro Galaxy. Quite unique style for making this kind of art. Only downside is the larger "lights" tend to make this look odd.

zy0rg Featured By Owner Jul 27, 2015 Hobbyist Digital Artist

"odd" doesn't mean "bad" when you speak about art, eh?

These larger lights are controlled by the same mathematical formula that controls smaller lights, so they are a natural addition to the overall picture.

Thanks for the comment

SpartasBrony Featured By Owner Jul 27, 2015 Hobbyist General Artist

Odd is just odd.

Okay, no prob.

So this is a pretty late request actually but may I use this as background in my Podcasts?

KraeHi Featured By Owner Dec 16, 2014 Professional Traditional Artist

I really hope you don't mind, I used this as a background to my art for my personal use. It is so beautiful! I tagged you in the info so that people can come see it in its entirety.

Hi. Thanks for the information.

But sorry. I guess in order to report copyright infringement I need to be registered on facebook (and I'm not registered).

Also, I usually don't care about people stealing my artwork. I don't aim to make money with my art so it's not a huge problem for me if someone uses it without my notice.

Amazing DOF!
The value must be pretty high, around 1 I assume?

zy0rg Featured By Owner Aug 8, 2014 Hobbyist Digital Artist

It's not a native "depth" from Apophysis but "post_depth" plugin (I've mentioned it in another comment

).
Thanks!

wow, this is amazing. Nice work :) (Smile)

katdesignstudio Featured By Owner Jun 7, 2014 Professional General Artist

Thank you for the example of post-depth

katdesignstudio Featured By Owner Apr 27, 2014 Professional General Artist

I see a Galaxy; I see bokeh - something ethereal; something barely inside the quasars. Waves inside Pythagoras inside the golden spiral. Sacred. Thank you for creating this. It is beautiful.

Magugu2 Featured By Owner Apr 25, 2014

Can I please have your permission to use this image in a picture book I am hoping to get published? It works perfectly and is beautiful. When staring at it, the lights seem to move around? Never seen anything like it!
