Spiral rainbow tutorial

First of all start apo and make a blank flame.
Set on red triangle noise= 0.3 blur=0.3 and Gaussian blur=0.5
Make sure that linear=0.
On yellow triangle set linear=0.9 and spherical=0.1
Now rotate yellow triangle 30 degrees counter clockwise and move it
up and left with 0.2
Now go to transform tab and set the yellow transform wight to 0.99 and
the red weight to 0.01
For the rainbow effect go to color tab and set red symmetry to -0.8 and
yellow symmetry to 0.8
You can experiment by adding a final transform and tweak it.
Enjoy !

New Apophysys script functions

2007-05-27T13:49:00.000+02:00

Here are some useful transform manipulation procedure calls - place the procedure code at the beginning of a script and then call it later on using the procedure name (in your script code you'd call it just by typing "procedurenamehere;").

procedure FlipTransformHorizontal;
{ Flips the transform horizontally (World Pivot)}
begin
aaxis := transform.a;
baxis := transform.b;
eaxis := transform.e;
transform.a := (aaxis *(-1));
transform.b := (baxis *(-1));
transform.e := (eaxis *(-1));
end;

procedure FlipTransformVertical;
{ Flips the transform vertically (World Pivot)}
begin
caxis := transform.c;
daxis := transform.d;
faxis := transform.f;
transform.c := (caxis *(-1));
transform.d := (daxis *(-1));
transform.f := (faxis *(-1));
end;

procedure RotateTransformLeft;
{ Rotates the Post Transform Left 90 Degrees (World Pivot)}
begin
aaxis := transform.a;
baxis := transform.b;
eaxis := transform.e;
caxis := transform.c;
daxis := transform.d;
faxis := transform.f;
transform.a := (caxis *(-1));
transform.b := (daxis *(-1));
transform.e := (faxis *(-1));
transform.c := (aaxis);
transform.d := (baxis);
transform.f := (eaxis);
end;

procedure RotateTransformLeft;
{ Rotates the Post Transform Right 90 Degrees (World Pivot)}
begin
aaxis := transform.a;
baxis := transform.b;
eaxis := transform.e;
caxis := transform.c;
daxis := transform.d;
faxis := transform.f;
transform.a := (caxis);
transform.b := (daxis);
transform.e := (faxis);
transform.c := (aaxis*(-1));
transform.d := (baxis*(-1));
transform.f := (eaxis*(-1));
end;

procedure FlipPostHorizontal;
{ Flips the post transform horizontally (World Pivot)}
begin
aaxis := transform.post[0,0];
baxis := transform.post[1,0];
eaxis := transform.post[2,0];
transform.post[0,0] := (aaxis *(-1));
transform.post[1,0] := (baxis *(-1));
transform.post[2,0] := (eaxis *(-1));
end;

transform.post[0,1] := (aaxis);
transform.post[1,1] := (baxis);
transform.post[2,1] := (eaxis);
end;

{ Rotates the Post Transform Right 90 Degrees (World Pivot)}

Fractal flame

2007-05-07T21:44:00.000+02:00

Fractal flames are a member of the iterated function system class of fractals created by Scott Draves in 1992.

Fractal flames differ from ordinary iterated function systems in three ways:

* Nonlinear functions instead of affine transforms.
* Log-density display instead of linear or binary (a form of tone mapping)
* Color by structure instead of monochrome or by density.

The tone mapping and coloring expose and preserve as much of the information content of the fractal as possible. Preserving information maximizes aesthetics.
