Just thought I'd post a little creation using this software. It's called Chaoscope and I have someone somewhere in this forum for posting what they use and I was intrigued enough to check it out. The pictures are the same fractal manipulated and you even get the choice to do a solid render of your fractal. The link is below for anyone who is interested. A big thank you to the person who gave me the inspiration. I will find your name eventually and give you credit when I do.

Wowsers! Thanks ever so much for posting this. The gallery sample images are exactly what I've been looking for. I can hardly wait to see newer versions of this program.

Several people have been posting in the gallery. The link above is for Chaoscope's gallery (he/she is a member of R'osity). Another member that uses Chaoscope a lot is Paragon5. Here is a link to their gallery: http://www.renderosity.com/gallery.ez?ByArtist=Yes&Artist=paragon5

Fractals will always amaze me!

ufrey! It was you who said you used Chaoscope and it is you I need to thank for putting the thought into my head to go check it out. And I also checked out your gallery images, very impressive. I think you are really talented and I would like to thank you for mentioning Chaoscope and to let you know that I'm having lots of fun with it. Quick question? I'd love to know how to colour the solid renders. Do you have any suggestions? :o)

uuups ... shemia, thanks for credits. i'm very happy that i find another fan for chaoscope and i wish you a very funny time with it :). i'm not really sure but i think that you can't color the solid render directly in chaoscope. but you can have a try in your postwork-programm with layering and transperancy ;-)

Hi Shemia, The colors in the solid render can only be changed by varying the opacity, which will give you variations from the normal solid render to a white render. No other color options are available as of yet. I was wondering if it was possible to recode the algorithm to change the colors, but that is beyond me right now. One cool thing I've found: set the "angle" gradient to "black" and just work the "speed" gradient. For some reason this seems to make the colors come alive; more than any other combination I've found so far! Check out the Chaoscope mail list at freelists.org, Nicolas and a few others are beta testing a newer version now. From what Nicolas has told us the new changes are agreat improvement! Have fun, William

Thanks ufrey for your help. I'm going to trying the layering and transparency in Photoshop to see if that works, I will let you know the results if they work out to what I want. And thank you to paragon5 as well. Your hints for colouring have given me ideas and I will be trying them out also. Your gallery is wonderful and I will keep watch on both of you for your gallery images. Regards and thanks to both of you for your help.
