Description
This is the first in a series of images that I plan to release. I hope you enjoy them.Please let me know if you're using this as your wallpaper. I'm kind of curious how many people who do a full view on my stuff are actually using them. Thanks in advance!
How did I do that?
It is an Apophysis 2 image that I worked several hours to create. Anyone who thinks they can just jump on Apophysis and have something like this generated automatically is out of their mind. This kind of stuff requires considerable effort and a good understanding of the tools available in Apophysis.

hmm i can't get anyone to teach me or at least give me a usable hint how to do knitting/ braiding looking stuff in apo.
can you give me a clear workable way to archieve something like that?? thnx

Not sure it's possible to teach anyone how to get that look. Most of these shapes just come about after playing with the triangles.

Robert,
Understood, I figured as much. There is a limit to how much control I have with what I do as well, and when I luck out and it works well, then I just take it and run. Ones that don't, I toss, which is a lot of them.
BTW, you complimented me on my abstract style, thanks. I call it Emergent Expressionism. For an explanation of it read this: [link] Emergent Expressionism is my own idea, its sort of draws on old ideas about Abstract Expressionism and ideas from Fractal Expressionism, but it is not Fractal Expressionism. If you have any questions about what I'm trying to do or why, shoot me a note. Your stuff is good btw in case you somehow missed out that I was saying that.
cheers,
fool aka bob

Hi there.
I really like this image and although I know nothing of the software, I do know a little for fractals, so i can appreciate the work involved in this.
To me it seems like a close up on a peice of exquisite Dwarven chainmail armour, but then, they may just be me

Thank you Emre! Haven't received any comments on this one is quite a while. Always happy when I do though. I think it is one of my best peices

I love the way all the shapes are 'braided' together. Great gradient choice as well. I like it.

Excelent fractal, I'm now inspired to explore this type of art with more enthusiasm...
What is the program that you use and how can I get a legal copy?

Thank you very much!
I use Apophysis which is a free program. It allows you to generate and manipulate fractals. You can check it out at [link]

Some nice guitat licks there!! I see you used GreenArmani's work. Excellent!! I've seen his work at WC.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! Ya, GreenArmani is cool! His stuff is really amazing. BTW, did you notice the song with Gregg Allman (Allman Bros.)?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sure did. Has some nice licks in there. I've seen him 3 times, with and without the Allman Bros.

This looks like some fancy strands of some kind. It's pretty.
It doesn't take me a couple of hours to design something in Apo, but it takes a lot of experience and experimentation to come up with something good. Now zooming and rendering is a different matter.

Thanks! Ya, most of my flames are not hours of effort but some are.
