    using fractals to impersonate nature

    Fractal seascapes are infinitely possible with apophysis. I think this is one of the more interesting things I pulled out:

      That looks mesmerizing to say the least, how many transforms and what scale do you usually use in your fractals?

          This one is actually surprisingly simple. It's three transforms, a spherical julia, a linear julian, and then a gaussian blurred julian. Adding the gaussian blurred julian is a good way to get a psuedo z-scaled depth of field effect to make these 2d fractals appear a bit more popped out and 3d

          This image is part of the same family with the reference triangle moved to make a cardioid instead of a circle and the colors inverted. The gaussian blur DOF is much more visible here.

              I like how you get rid of the ambiguity in the depth. At least I think you do. It looks like it's focused close and then further away in z (and further out in r) it gets blurry.

              Either way, I like.

                  Yeah, it's actually radially scaled instead of z-scaled because it's applied to a Julian, but because the fractal is circular it emulates a depth effect really well.

                      Wow... I like that one... Looks very much like a flower.
