Fractals are becoming more and more popular between designers and they have a good reason for it -with programs like Apophysis such fractal creation isn’t tiresome process, just play with settings, variables, scripts, plugins and get unbelievable results. At first I wanted to create one huge post with inspiration, tutorials and resources, but I reconsidered because then article wouldn’t be very clear. So there will be 3 parts: Inspiration, Resources and Tutorials. To get Your attention the first post will be inspirational so You could see what can be done with such small programm just by testing and playing with settings. Here I present to You 60 Beautiful Fractals Created with Apophysis:Inspiration:Part 1
Apophysis is a freeware Windows program for designing and rendering fractal flames. It was created by Mark Townsend and has since been improved and updated by Peter Sdobnov, Piotr Borys and Ronald Hordijk. Fractal Flames were originally developed in 1992 by Scott Draves.

Those interested: Please look up “fractalicious” on Merriam-Webster.com./ the Open Dictionary section Fractal renderings give new meaning to “eye has not seen” what awaits in Heaven for those who love God. (paraphrased) and that it is “the things which are unseen that makes that which we do see and that all things are by him, for him, in him, to him, from him, about him.” (also paraphrased). The “him” being the Christ, Jesus.

@mark thanks for Your support, I hoped the same when bringing out those fractals fully accredited to their creators, but I can understand some people don’t like attention without noticing. I just removed artworks requested so everyone could be happy, it would be 2x more work to inform and wait for everybody’s permission, but in future I will choose my picks more carefully however.

These pieces of art are truly beautiful. I would not have even known they existed where it not for this post brining them to my (and the worlds) attention. They would truly have languished, beautiful and unknown, in the little artists enclave that is DeviantArt and other places (which I still wont frequent, because frankly, I dont have the time :(/
I find the petulant wailings of some (ok, many) bemoaning that no “permission” was granted before the pieces were made a small part of this article to be woefully misplaced.
One: NO PERMISSION WAS NECESSARY. The article is a NEWS POST and the likeness of your image(s) used was in the context of reporting the news and was FAIR USE.
Furthermore, as you all mostly pointed out, there was no harm to ANY OF YOU as a result, all the images were fully attributed directly with a link back to the originator. For all the scourge of content theft, illegal incorporation and utilization (where someone takes either the idea you have or worse the actual product, does a tweak, then publishes it as their own) this site and postings represented none of those evils.
It’s this sort of pussy based needles whining that makes people roll their eyes in disgust. There is a big difference between standing up for your rights, righting a wrong and between finding some slight, insult or theft when none exists.
Hey, guess what? It was all done (mostly) with a free program!
Get over it guys, please. :)

Thank you for featuring one of my Apophysis pieces, but please ask my permission next time if you choose to feature one of my pieces. I am grateful that you really like my fractal here and I appreciate the feature, so I will give you permission to keep it up.
Please be mindful in the future that many artists on dA do require their permission before their work is published off-site.
