I'm a newcomer to fractal art/software - after spotting La Petite Mangue's 'Julia Experiment' image on ShareCG I decided to have a play with Apophysis. When I first opened it my first thought was 'How on earth do I use this?' I had a look through Claire Jones' 'Julia Uncovered' guide and managed to work out the basics.

Since I reckoned other newcomers would have the same initial confusion I wrote a very short 2-part 'micro-tutorial' which I named 'Using Apophysis Without A Clue What You're Doing'

I still don't really have a clue what I'm doing, but every now and then I open it up and start moving the triangles of one of the random batch. Occasionally I get something I think is quite beautiful!

And it usually uses Poser 11, with units set to inches. Except when it's using Poser 6 or PP2014, or when its units are set to PNU.
