Thanks Val yes I hope people enjoy the flame sets there is a lot of possibility in all of them I just posted another one last night hoping there isn't a snag there to get them up still got more but think I'd better concentrate on comments first :) latersssss

go to members option then to my profile you should be able to set everything from there , I think there is also a link there to set up your home page. good luck

No problem and your more then welcome look for more of each coming soon :) thanks everyone

oh MY GOODNESS LOL and here I thought I had a lot of fonts at over 2,000 their my weakness also lol. Oh also there were 2 sets of 25 each starter_us flames just posted so if anyone wants some and "more will be posted soon" they are also in the free section parameter files I think the 3rd batch will be some of the better ones see and jellyfish ones plus another batch of abstract ones which can be worked to get just about anything anyone could want. Enjoy them all knowing us probably more grads also soon. Thanks everyone :) thanks again Val:)

Your very welcome it is a shared venture by Ron and myself hope you enjoy them.. Thanks again Val lol I got your flames also lol :) thank you for sharing your work. Carolyn

Welcome aboard glad to see Nick get some help around here

whoopeee got them Nick thanks tons.. really appreciate you sharing with the rest of us. Carolyn

I have to admit since this was my first time it was nice not knowing who for sure did the image even though if you look at them you can pretty well tell who's work it is. I have to agree strongly with Val on not showing the results as the contest is going on I feel that could lead to some problems in the future. I understand why you tried it this way but like the rest said 1 vote 1 winner announced I must say though it would be nice to have the 3 votes back again. Surely there must be some way to easily count those 3 votes without you personally having to keep the on going record of them. I also get the feeling from what you said at the beginning that even you may have some doubts about this new way. So to avoid any possible miss counts seems so much better to go back to the 3 votes . Now what would happen if the voting was sent to you say set up an e-mail addy here at Rendo just for voting so as when you get to the closing only that one time would it be opened. Something in the way we do reply's here I don't know if that could be set up but it might be a way to get the votes to you and you not having to spend alot of time checking who got what. I hope I've explained this correctly if not let me know and I'll give it another try :) Example: go to the bottom of the page cast your votes and hit send only the send goes to a private e-mail or box that only you have. Well thats my 5 cents worth lol inflation and high gasoline prices lol

Congrats shagahs, very mysterious yet intriguing render well done

Congratulations to all the winners especially Zemela your image was certainly all about summer. Congrats again to all and to those who participated. Now lets keep the ball rolling and everyone get ready for the theme Zemela chooses

Thanks again for the goodies there all great thanks for sharing :) Carolyn

Thanks for the goodies can always use gradients and good starter flames.. thanks for sharing. Carolyn :)

Hey Nick the link to Fractelaar is not working plus we have a link also but it is listed under 2d art because its brushs, textures,frames plus its under ron windham is there a way for it to be listed in the fractal area also?? http://classyladytwo.com we have tons of other goodies on the site. we're also hoping to add gradients to the list soon Thanks Carolyn

I don't think there is no need to apologize for post work and I do understand the Devian art doesn't recognize even Vision of Chaos as a fractal program or didn't. I do not feel adobe or psp should be listed in any other way but as post processing. However, I do have a problem with other programs being used in a fractal when 50% or more is the final image itself (example) Bryce for one. Adding a poser figure is partly used in post processing to give the fractal additional realism however it only enhances the original fractal where Bryce for example takes on much more then just fractals or post processing of any kind. Believe me I admire anyone who can do superb work on fractals only and do not need any type of post processing.. However, those of us who do use some type of post processing does that not make us as good as the purrest fractal artist?? it's all in the eyes of the beholder. Another fine line especially when most who do not do post processing have been doing fractal for 15 plus years, verses people like myself who may only have less then a year into fractals with the ultimate goal of not using any type of post processing in time. We all have to learn somewhere, not everyone is perfect not even those who do not do post work I'd rather view an image with post work that has made that image complete then to see fractal done with no post work yet are dirty with gradients, or blurry, or that look like they were just tossed around in a true fractal program . Again what is considered a fractal I've been told as long as the main focus is on the fractal that is all that is considered... So don't be so quick to judge us that do use post work. yet bask within yourself those of you that do NOT use post work and be proud of what you do. I like Terry am a bit over welmed by this on going decussion of post processing verses fractal purity... After all ask yourself can you truely believe everything that a poster lists under the phrase no post work????? I only believe that statement to be true with very few true artists here. thats my penny's worth Carolyn

It sure is grand what a wonderful idea to do, I dunno who started all this but thank you wow what an awesome bunch of wonderful people we have here... Wonderful idea..:)
