Title: Are fractal flames really fractals? Post by: pswanson on May 20, 2016, 10:43:07 PM I have been creating various fractal flames using Apophysis for some time now. In the literature these structures have been referred to as a particular class of fractals. However, most of them do not exhibit self-similarity (like that found in a Sierpinski triangle). Why then are the flame objects referred to as fractals?

With apophysis it is possible to apply strange attractors and other filters to them. As far as I know they are still fractals but they might not look like it.
