Hi Everyone!
oh ya I'm the new one to the forum although I'm not new to fractals (big smile) ... however in many ways I've only scratched the surface and still have much more to learn ... so you see I was so happy to find you all .. don't have a lot of time to spend here but I'll be checking as often as I can ... looks like a great forum and I'm looking forward to meeting you (big smile) ...
just to let every one know (if they're interested) programs I have used .. some more than others and some I'm just beginning to learn ....
fractal vizion, MBFracts, Sterling, Sterling2, Iterations, Fractal Forge, Fractal Explorer, Apophysis, Tierazon, Dof-Zon, Manpwin, Kaosrhei, Aros Fractals, Mandelview, DoubleFractal, Fraqtive, ApolFrac, Chaoscope, ChaosPro, FractalStudio, XaoS, GnoFract 4D, UltraFractal 5, Incendia .... and some I think I forgot (grin) ...
quite a list eh .. some are way more useful than others and some are easy to learn and others boggle me (grin) ... but what's really cool is many almost most of them I can run using Linux (Linux MInt - in the same family as Ubuntu but more tasty (grin)) but others will only work in Windows ... since my Linux 'puter is bigger, better and faster and with a lot more memory I'm tickled pink they work in Linux (big smile)
I'm also interested in 3D work and pattern generation ... for 3D I'm into XenoDream for now .. would love to try Bryce and the rest but they don't run in Linux and my windows computer is a bit to slow and old to handle all the rendering ... I do have Blender but have yet to tackle that one... as for patterns I use whatever works including PaintShopPro7.04 and Gimp ...

well that's about it for now ... catch ya all later ...... owlspook
