I have just uploaded the fuller version of the fractal which is basically in its raw state apart from having been desaturated in photoshop. After this stage I played around with a color overlay and blend modes in photoshop until I was happy with it.
The fractal flame was just two transforms in Apophysis. Both transform 1 and transform 2 had the variations FLATTEN and FOCI set to 1. All other variations were set at 0. Each transform weight was 0.5, color speed was 0, and all xaos weights were left at 1. Without delving into my flame archives I can tell you that I set the starting values as follows:
Transform 1:
Triangle: X=2.0, -1.75; Y=2.5 -4.5; O=0.75, -3.5
Transform: X=1.0, 1.75; Y=1.75, -1.0; O=0.75, -3.5
Transform 2:
Triangle: X=0.5, -2.5; Y=0.25, -1.0; 0=-0.5, -1.75
Transform: X=0.75, -0.75; Y=0.5, 0.5; O=-0.5, -1.75
Then I played around with the triangles until I found something I liked. Swanlake and Vegetable Patch were both spin-offs of the original Ramrock which was inverted in photoshop to give the mono texture I just uploaded. Sometimes I find the mutation window helpful but I have spent hours experimenting in Apophysis. It is like panning for gold - sometimes you will be well rewarded, but other times you will probably feel frustrated and wonder why you bother!
I consider myself still to be a beginner with some experience. The only other thing I can say is experiment with the color gradients and read the Apophysis tutorial for tips on this and using the mutation tool. Good luck!
I used it there, it's awesome
