This is spawned from =f--l--A--r--k 's Cube Tutorial(found here: [link] ), which is where I learned the technique. So much thanks to =f--l--A--r--k for everything he helped with. (I even borrowed one of his images for this. I don't think he'll mind)
This is coincidentally my submission to =NFotM 's senior fractalist tutorial contest.

This is a wonderful tutorial and I understood it completely! Thank you so much for the time it took and all the details and knowledge you shared. I'm getting somewhere with it and will definitely be posting something I make with it as soon as I think it looks good enough

Another person asked.

I'd like to know how to add plugins. I've never used one before.

It's really easy. Just create a new folder in the same place that you have the actual Apophysis application. Name this folder "Plugins". Put all of the .dll's in here. Then restart Apophysis. Simple, huh?

I have Apophysis 2.07, but not the square variation. Where can I download it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ohh! You're totally right. I'll link to that, along with a tiling script! Check the artist's comment in a moment.

I included a list of links that might help you in the comment.

Yeah, I got them, thanks.

It's really not a style that works like any fractals. Unless you use the linear tiling, which can be pretty hard.

As you know, I've read many many, MANY tuts about Apo, this is ranked among the best. I've not tried it yet, but I've read over it and it very well thought out, and put together, images are a good help. Very nicely done.

Thank you so much. I find that telling exactly how to do every step is the key to keeping readers from getting lost. Pictures tell you where to go. That's why I include the preview image in most of the pictures. I try to make sure you don't get lost.
Turns out Michael Faber doesn't like the cube style. It's not fractally enough for him.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well of course! Michael Faber is one of the fractal masters, being so he likes things complicated . Your cube tut is simple and eloquent.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Of course indeed. He's also kinda a bitch
Thanks for the compliment, though.

No worries, and that was surprisingly hard to read.

Works fine for me. Widescreeny. And I have good eyes.

Read it, didn't understand any of it, then again I couldn't be expected to.

Really don't expect you to, yeah.

Seemed like a pretty good tutorial though. Better than the few I've struggled through.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ugh, it's just simple. Took two weeks or more of working on it for half an hour every few nights.

Welcome...
I went throught it this afternoon. A bit confused on your tiling piece at the end... Was that done with sq-faced cubes?
It optical illussion was a far better choice than the one I did...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, you mean =f--l--A--r--k 's impossible triangle? That was done exactly as you did it, just with different spacing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, I didn't remember that illusion until I saw it again in your tutorial,. It would have been a better one than the one I used, because it isn't bothered by the perspective as much as my choice was. That's all.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, I know that, but to just do it again - when it has been done well already - doesn't offer much gratification. BTW, I did join *Apophysis...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah..Good to hear about *apophysis. The live tutorials rock.

I;ve look at the logs of a couple of the tutorials - looked good.

Thank you very much! I don't usually have much luck following tutorials, but I'll try!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're welcome. Any problems, come talk to me. I made it pretty much step-by-step with pictures, but it hasn't been tested by anybody.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, don't worry! I shall be nagging your head off when I get stuck, as I invariably will...
