Fractals were my first digital art love. When I was young, I looked at the mandelbrot and thought this is the language of the divine. When I learned what fractals were I realized I was right. I cycled through early fractint and settled comfortably on UF, flirting on and off for years. Then came the flame. . . Mucho grande thanks to bpclarke for opening me to Apophysis. I'd seen it, maybe even downloaded and tried it, can't remember, but it took the inspiration to fire further exploration, and now I'm hooked. . .burnin' with a fever! Here is my first flame. Thanks for lighting my fire, bclarke! http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/browse.php?user_id=193981 I really enjoy the smooth gradient function that allows you to sample photos. The garden is very colorful these days! This gradient is from a fully opened rose. The mathematics of chaos, the colors of nature, the language of the divine. . . Purrfectly rosy. . .
