    Render popup window>Quality Settings>
    Density 4000
    Filter Radius 1.5 or <
    Oversample 5

    That's as high as I've gone. I push the filter radius up every now and again, I'm going up to 2.0 on this next render

    Filter radius 2.0 gives a blurred look, too blurred imo

    I'm redoing this one @ 1.5

    I'm not happy. I kept the exact settings on this pic (last few that I didnt even keep) that I had on the really nice glassy looking "Bella" fractal. Unfortunately, all these dont look a thing like that one did, transparency and feel wise, and it's starting to piss me off.

    it looks like a painting, i like it. If you want something you got the complete control over, i suggest you go back to cinema4D or some other 3d app.

    Fractals is just random complex numbers, if your not good with high end math, im not;)

    the math isnt a problem, it's the post processing and cleanup that's annoying me. It bugs me when i cant replicate a process because I was inattentive while achieving it the first time. I save the flame files so I can go back on most of them, but I didnt take note of the gimp work on that one.

    Turns out that fractals make excellent bumpmaps for regular artwork textures :)

    Ok, here are some raw fractal PNG files, right out of Apophysis.
    I wouldnt use Sharenxs except that the file sizes are pretty large (one is 4.8 MB)

    WOW, that's beautiful.

    If you duped it, then bumpmapped one, and played with the modes it could make a beautiful background for a wallpaper.
