Description Take a look at:
Seeing Stars by ~jim88bro
floating star... by *FeliFee
Promised stars and Flower by ~tetriarch
Treasure by ~Ruiorven
Eagle's Landing by ~Illusionaria

--

Edit: In order to use this tutorial in Apophysis 7X, you will first need to download ~Zueuk 's Old Variation Plugins , collected together and uploaded by ~morphapoph . I put a note in the introduction to clarify this.

--

By using this technique, you can make the star shapes as seen in Glow in the Dark , Celestial Vault , Stars and Stripes and Pentangle . This tutorial explains how to make them, as well as how to incorporate them into a simple Julia pattern. There are many other possibilities, however, so experimentation is important.

As with my previous tutorials, I've skipped a few of the intermediate stages, such as how to duplicate transforms, so the tutorial relies on a familiarity with the transform editor.

Tell me if you have any problems, and if you make anything with this tutorial, let me know so that I can include a link in the description. Enjoy!

That old julia plugin is also in the Aposhack Plugin Pack if anyone needs it Chris. It works fine with my Apophysis 7Xb!

Ah, great work - it's good to see that some people have found a use for the Julia/radial_blur example used in the tutorial, as well as the fractal stars technique that I was using it to explain.

Rawglor In reply to Cosmic-Cuttlefish [2013-03-02 21:58:18 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it's a cool technique and I'll probably make use it these things again sometime in the future.

Well when I tried following the Tutorial I only made it half way through Step one. I tried a couple of other things and made this [link] . (I'm still new to Apo7X ver.15c.9)

Cosmic-Cuttlefish In reply to Radman1919 [2013-01-26 12:46:42 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, I can't remember which version I'm currently using. I like your fractal, in any case. Is the reason that you only got part-way through because the rest of the steps didn't work? If so, I'm sorry to hear that, and I'd be more than happy to look at the parameters if you note them to me!

Saknika [2013-01-18 04:46:24 +0000 UTC]

Even with the plugin pack, for the latest 7x (I think it's 15D) for me it won't work. :C I'm just getting a wiggly circle. Sadness.

Cosmic-Cuttlefish In reply to Saknika [2013-01-18 10:36:31 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, would it be possible to note me your parameters, so that I can take a look, and see if there's anything I can do to sort it out?

Saknika In reply to Cosmic-Cuttlefish [2013-01-19 00:01:14 +0000 UTC]

This is the strangest thing. I had closed it out, but I went back in to recreate from the tutorial, and now it works. Beats me, but I'm going with being too tired to pay good enough attention apparently. Although, last night for whatever reason my Apophysis seemed to be retaining previous parameters even though I'd click new flame. Guess rebooting my computer was the answer. LOL Thank you for offering to help though! C:
