Description An intermediate Tutorial for Apophysis [link] by Xyrus02.

You can learn the use of Foci and Unpolar as final transform.

-the unpolar plugin can be found here [link]
-a tiles tutorial for the filling can be found here [link]

Have fun and please post your results ... can't wait to see them!

In v. 1.2 I corrected the error in the table from the original file and the wrong cylinder value as well.

It's your tutorial that's very good. I just did some parroting. But heck, it was a ton of fun!

Thankyou so much I love Apo and fractals, it's just that there's no real way to teach someone except bit by bit. Thanks for aiming me at the other tutorials!

Great tutorial. I look forward to trying the technique to make some of my own images. So far, I've only had time to follow the tutorial. One quick note: My results looked more like the pictures in the tutorial when I set Cylinder=0.1 instead of 1.

Thanks for taking the time!

I tried starting from just a blank flame, and I must be missing something because all I get is some strange lines with a lot of static looking dots I tried four times and I still can't get it......I even downloaded Apo 7x v14 again

if you get dots you probaply have no variation on one of the triangles

Solouroboros In reply to pillemaster [2012-05-11 00:24:22 +0000 UTC]

I'll do that. I've tried a few other tutorials, and I get the same issues....things just don't quite sync correctly. It may just be something buried in the base settings

Solouroboros In reply to Solouroboros [2012-05-10 21:56:20 +0000 UTC]

I tried three times, and for some odd reason I'm not getting a bunch of squares. I'm getting one cross, that's it. Still stumped.

Love the way you presented the concepts in terms of everyday items that are easily visualized. A pearl of great price!
Now to give the build a try. Actually two tries since I invariably miss something the first time around.

GraphicLia In reply to pillemaster [2012-05-10 14:56:07 +0000 UTC]

If something is missing I will! I have an odd work flow and distractions cause me to lose my place from time to time. That is not a "failing" of the tutorial.

The "object" lesson of the gift wrap paper and tube was perfect!

iuliasan In reply to ??? [2012-05-10 13:08:03 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much! However, no matter how religiously I follow your steps, I do not get the simple base, let alone the final result and such. I should get a clean, tiling effect after xform 7 is added and everything modified and you specify. Instead, all I get are messy lines that aren't going to get me to your crisp result.
I was wondering if there are things I'm missing here...
