[Visual] Fractal Flames

[hatstand]

i got bored one evening, and went looking on the internet for a fractal program, and found Apophysis (www.apophysis.org), which generates fractal flames according to the settings you give it... sort of like terragen, but not for terrain....

after a bit of fiddling with the controls and the editor, modifying the number of mutations and transforms, etc, i had a few images i liked... so i rendered them in desktop-sized png's (1280x1024) then shrunk them down as a maximum quality jpeg:

Wow, these are pretty awesome! Definitely unique and abstract.
The first is my favorite.
