Hi Valcan, well, you see... the trick is in the tiling. Cut the segments you like and tile the results. Clone cloth sings with this kind of unusuality.

And mary, I tyhink they HAVE upgraded the editor. I dont know if the initial one used "shape reshape" algorythm controllers, did it?  I shall look into it tommorow morning. Because I DO remember they went BIG time 3D. On that line, I still cant find the software that created Fractal 3D shapes that has an exporter that allowed them to get pulle dinto Poser and Vue.

I wrote to the programmer and he said he was looking into iClone as a potential export format. That was 2 years ago.
If I can find it I'll post it but Reallusion will have that old thread in their archives...... maybe.

The keywords would be apophysis.
Armstrong.

Not sure they're things I'd use but I've always liked this kind of artwork and it was a treat for my eyes as I was scanning through things here.

Thanks

yes, sadly, Mystica is rather out-dated...maybe they'll update it in the future. you asked if I'd seen the new flames..did Apophysis update their flame editer ?

WOW factor time. Duchess, I would say UltraFractal has some definite tex ability for iClone.

Its output is way more diverse. I learn something today!

THAT kind of output is very useable to me.

Mary, yes Mystica is intrigueing but I think you'll agree its been left behind a little now. But interesting to see the persistent ones who kept going and evolved never the less.
Armstrong.

HAH! Hello Duchess, you were inbetween  as well. :P  Beautiful. Well its satisfying to know people are in tune with Fractal Art anyway.
Its god tex food. And Clone Cloth benefits form this amazingly.
Armstrong.

Mystica is the only software that I can think of like that right now.....

http://www.dawntec.com/mystica/

it's a 3D Engine that renders fractals in 3D. (and has a walk/fly-thru section to explore the 3d fractals in.

Hi Mary, sorry, I was posting while you were. I still cant find the software I mentioned.
Lovely images. Have you seen the latest 3D flames?

Armstrong.

Hi I have an older version of this that does very similar creations.

http://www.ultrafractal.com/

Duchess Designs Store 

..... and these as well.

Actually Im looking for some software I discussed with its creator three years ago in iClones early years.... it was similar to this... in that it rendered 3D fractals but... and this was amazing, it rendered them in a 3D "solid" form.
And speaking to the guy he was already outputting for things lkke Poser and veu? but he said he was currently (back then) working on a universal output!!!!!! that would be more suited to iClone for import.

The software I cannot relocate and the name has escaped me. Does anyone recall this. I dont think the current iClone forum archives go back that far. But I cannot find this software. If I do Ill post it because its another small weapon for the arsenal.

It would have been good to see if he'd created and updated the software to cater for better export / import.
Armstrong.

Some more trinkets I just found.

 

hi, Armstrong..I've been using Apophysis for over a year,,,have stockpiled hundreds (maybe thousands?) of fractal images that I'll be sorting thru for use in my iClone vids n images....may sound odd, but it seems like some of the sequel fractal images that I've created seem to tell a story of their own :alien:...,..but it's a great program that I really enjoy playing around in.

 

I created this next image with a photoshopped pic of a ship combined with one of my fractal pics.
