Diving Deeper into Eternity

In case you didn't know and were wondering, the math behind fractal art is related to how the 3D geometrical shape corresponds to infinity. No, I do not understand fully the math that is really involved, but I have found a more advanced tool for creating fractal art. It's called Apophysis. It's comes with some great pre-sets but also allows you to create your own fractal designs instead of simply filtering and editing the ones already available. And even if you're too scared to build your own fractal from scratch, you can actually manipulate the pre-sets in 3D! That means way more possibilities than anything I have seen so far offered for free! I've only just begun playing with it and the online tutorials and wiki manual are slightly overwhelming at first, but I know that in order to continue growing as a fractal artist, I must conquer my fear (mainly of math) and step out. Like I always say, you never know till you give it your all! If you fail, well, then, at least you know your limits and you can brush yourself off with pride, knowing you did your best!
