Josephine, go back in the archives for the fractal forum and there is a thread started by Audre for fractal resources. You'll see lots of good info. The above link is for the Fractal Art FAQ. You'll see references to the math, software, links and groups available. Everything anyone needs for fractals. Don't be put off by the math, you'll learn to recognize dcertain things, but absolutely no understanding is required for the largest part of the popular generators. One of the easiest to use is Paul Carlson's Mind-Boggling Fractals, www.mbfractals.com and a freeware version can be found here: Mind-Boggling Fractals Lite, http://www.simtel.net/pub/pd/54429.shtml, or http://www.completelyfreesoftware.com/cfs_update192.html Another free program is Fractal Explorer: http://www.eclectasy.com/Fractal-Explorer/download.htm , it has image layering and manipulation capabilities. It also handles 4D, IFS and landscape imagery. Probably the single most important resource that has evolved from the original sci.fractals Usenet newsgroup is the Fractal Art FAQ, developed by Jean-Pierre Louvet and Juan Luis Martinez; http://fractals.iuta.u-bordeaux.fr/f-art-faq/ It contains many links and links to the usual exhaustive resources for fractals. Also the FAQ can be downloaded to your hard drive and a desktop link to the index HTML allows you to use it whenever you want, as well as have direct links when on line.
