If you make something with this, please show me!
If you have suggestions or corrections, please let me know so I can make this as accurate and helpful as possible.
There's only so much one can do when making a tutorial. I would have loved to explain this via a video tutorial, but my abilities to do video editing probably aren't that great. Plus, I don't think I could have done a voiceover for it either :/ Anyways, if you're interested in learning more or seeing a live demonstration of this, then feel free to note me and I probably could work something out!

is there a version for Windows XP?Β I tried using the latest version (windows 32 bit)Β and I get an error on installation so it never finishes installing, running Windows XP Home editionΒ Service Pack 3- 32 bit.

Um, I'm not entirely sure; I've not used XP in over four years. Β My guess would be that installing the latest C++ redistributables / .net framework might be necessary prerequisites, as it is stated that it works on windows XP.

it probably is a .Net or SDK problemΒ , I can't download those though, I'm on a public library pc (no home internet) :/
It doesn't work on XP with SP2 though, no big deal, I get good results using apo's internal renderer and the newest 7x version has the curves option.

The texture and color, particularly in the middle left, is very nice

Woah, finally I did some cool fractal art [link]
Feeling super right now ~^____^~
Thanks for tutorial ^^!

Thanks a lot for the link to newer versions of Chaotica. There is one for Mac which will help me a lot.

I'll have a go with your two tuts.
I am pretty rotten with Apophysis but I like it a lot.
I wish it wasn't so log to render. I'll try Chaotica for anything I make with your tuts.
Thanks a lot.

If you need small scale renders done (i.e. size of what I use my renders at or less), you're welcome to pass them my way. I've rendered stuff for people before - so long as it's not an outrageous request, I probably would be willing to do it
Not a problem, I'm glad that you enjoy this

Thanks for the offer. It's OK, I've just devoted an old laptop to Apo and FE. I can render on it as long as necessary.
I use a Mac and have to put Parallels on it to use Windows. It slows everything and is a bother to open.

I'm going to be making a few in the near future as well - one of them should be a better tutorial for chaotica that demonstrates some of the painting techniques I use more effectively
I'm glad you like this

cant believe i overlooked this
I'm messing around now having fun
though when i put gamma up up up. i cannot always reach the brightness i want. any tips on that?
+ it gave me awesomesauce idea
why not make an animation of a painterish fractal 
π: 0 β©: 1
You don't always need to throw gamma super high. I've been finding recently that you can go high brightness and moderate gamma (10-50 gamma, 100-500 brightness) and that will give a better sense of lighting. And then 
Hmm, an animation would be fun, but if I do all this stuff with chaotica color curves, it would be hard to make an animation from it all. I suppose I could try at some point though!
π: 0 β©: 1
ah ok thats a nice tip
... gamma treshold gives a boundry on which points get rounded down to zero (black) or not? on such pieces i always put it on 0
i'll check the possibility's in my next render
for the colour curves, you dont have to redo them on each frame. when it reloads without restarting chaotica it will remember the curves of the last (at least thats what it do when copy pasting while already having a flame there). this means you only have to do the curves on your first frame and the rest will inheret (or whatever you write that) the settings of the first. i think it works that way ....
π: 0 β©: 1
The last time I checked chaotica, it does funky things to the colors if the curves aren't reset :3 Maybe this has been changed, but I honestly don't know.
π: 0 β©: 1
at the moment im rendering something but the gamma is reset to 4 on each frame (well i guess cause it does from the first to the second 
I dont think many people even tried the utility so doing this trial might help lyc too to improve it as well.

Just love this It took me a long time to understand half of what you explaining here.I asked brother lyc why I can not see all the tools eg.that curves thing on my comp not even on full view did I miss something Im running windows 7 on a laptop help is there a setting somewhere.I call it curves cause of PShoip

Are you using the newest version of Chaotica?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes v0.47 it makes me crazy im running win7 ?does that change anything.
good thing Im not a purist asfar as apo goes its just a tool so this raw flame thing is overated if you ask me the result speaks for itsef,or should,.P/Shop does wonders to a flame but I would love to use that feature in chaotica Lyc might fix it in a newer one .TX for your input my friend I love you for it.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm on Win7 myself...so that shouldn't change much.
I do agree, I think that an artist is only as powerful as their tools. And if they don't use them, it's their loss :3

I might have my grafix setting funny as I have a little laptop but wit a GFORCE somthing in used to use it for gaming now Apo is my game Ill have a look TX for the insight

New work again [link] I like this tutorial so much.

Ooh, that's quite nice. I really enjoy looking at that!
Awesome job!

I think it might be a bit dark. My monitor is on max brightness and I have to tilt my screen to see it.
I easily see that you made use of color curves, but have you tried using high gamma and messing around with the brigtness?

Very Admirable for you.

I do have the .45 version so I tried to download the ,48 one. But... the link to that one doesn't work!!
π: 0 β©: 1
All right, so I poked *lyc and he uploaded the most recent version. You can find it below, or on the chaotica website

Someday, I do hope that I make a positive difference in the world on a global scale. Until then, I'll keep tripping up and look silly finding out how ;D

You're making a good start.
I'm sure you're not a perfect person... none of us are. And I'll bet you're harder on yourself than anyone else... but never forget... you're a good person!
Hugs,
