lets build our own softwere for Qfractals

Absolutely true for kids....with a little sophistication it can even have a routine to grap a cam image and instantly fractalize, which would really capture a young mind

very true this is a great idea

[matty686]

ok good work I saw your script that what I wanted something living breathing and fun that's what you have got
I am so happy  


jack pot                      I would like to see this get very big  

you can use the interactive part as a thumbnail preview if you can
but I think its cool to put it in the program as a side feature for fun (small window) in ultra fractal they do this

[matty686]

oh yes and please remember it should have a transform editor as I said earlier this thing will be better than ultra fractal (no offense)
Kali trust in yourself and by the way remember when this thing is complete I hereby grant you full credit for my ideas why might you ask
because I am more interested in getting this software built than taking credit for it I have watched as the world has struggled to make meaningful things from fractals
while i worked with a simple interface that was fully under my control it deeply saddened me so thats why this software is being built
now we can all express our feelings in fractals like I have done many times its not that regular fractal software can't do this but if you have a visualization in your mind it could
take a life time of coding to get it made with math alone

I will be posting some ultra-fractal formulas on this forum soon  they are the keys to the mastery of the art of Qfractal

OK so hears the tricky part this formula requires that you render it in stages use the render parameter to get all the slices on different layers  when your done render them all together

[matty686]

we played with the formula for a while its full of holes
