Thank you very much for this tutorial. Nothing is hard and makes total sense. I never thought about doing the renders that way though. Thank you!

Thanks! I will greatly improve if rendered such way. Keep in mind that the already calculated fractal layers can be reordered, duplicated if needed , their blending mode can be changed too, you are still in "raw fractals" until you don't draw or erase calculated pixels.

Thank you again! I think I'm going to like playing with this. I don't have PS but I do have PSP.

" I don't use Zoom at all. Today I canceled a render as using a well established setup of transform the program insists to render a picture 8h "

@*Raysheaf I did quite a deep zoom in apo the other day, I cancelled the render when it told me that it would take 229 hours! I think that's long enough for anyone! My longest so far was this one [link] at 13 hours!

Humm, yes this happens with Apo. I didn't touch it since an year. I just cannot understand why the authors, when seeing that there is an external render (Chaotica) that is faster, don't try to optimize the algorithm in Apo to render as fast. On the other hand to pay for an external render for a free program is more than obsolete, so I just stick with UF.

~mikey1964 Dec 12, 2011

Yeah, I got myself Chotica, which rendered my 229 hours in 5! I hated the end result too but that's the joy of learning I guess!

I've just started with this fractals game, so I have much to learn, I have Apo 7x, UF and Mandelbulb (which really confuses me but I love it)One day I'll understand it better and will produce something worthwhile!

~mikey1964 Dec 12, 2011

thanks for this, some good advise, even though I'm not at the stage where I need to print at really high qualities yet, hopefully that will come in future!

Hi, I couldn't help noticing what you said in this message. I can tell you this... don't ever use zoom in Apo. Instead use "scale". Zoom dramatically increases your render time while increasing the scale affects it very little or not at all.

No, I learned that lesson!

thanks

You're welcome... but I don't feel like you should thank me because I didn't tell you anything you didn't know.

Hugs,
Anj
