Ok seeing as my other thread generated some interest, tho I wasnt round much to maintain it, the question..... Why Fractals, what's their attraction? Me? I like the randomisation, not only with the difference types and kinds of fractals and variations you can get, but also the different programs and their differences. As you know, im a XD user, and it endlessly fascinates me with what it can do, but the work I see from UF users has the same effect, and frustrates me more so, as I couldnt figure it out :) But everytime you play you get something different, and the endless variations of colours is another attraction. I also have to say that I get more istant gratification from a fractal too, something like Terragen still takes ages on my system to render, its only with really big fractals I render for printing that take ages on my PC Stacey
