There are a couple yahoo groups that I know of, and if I'm not mistaken I believe I read where somebody was putting together a site for just scripts & files for download. I'll see if I can dig that info up and post it here for you.

In my opinion you answered your own question when you said you had little patience to learn new stuff. I don't have XD and don't know how difficult it is, but to spend money on something you may not have the patience for would be wasteful. Why not try Apo, or Fractal Explorer and read the tutorials which are many, and see just how patient you are with those programs, and if you make headway, then consider XD. There are also other 3d programs you could download for free and see if you have the patience for them, Pov-Ray for windows is one that I know of. No matter what program you get, it will certainly take some time to learn just what can be done with it, but if you are that interested and have the time then you will certainly succeed. Good luck!

Thanks Wub...I was going through the forum and seen this, as I was wondering the same. Now I can make animations!!

Thank You all for the warm welcome and suggestions. I ended up downloading a program that makes thumbnails...and keeps the quality somewhat decent. I tried decreasing the compression in PSP but it really didn't look so good. Never was very good with that program. Anyways, thanks again and look forward to participating in the community. A second fractal has been posted...Trapped butterfly...hope you like.
