Over the last few days I revisited a pair of popular fractal programs to see if I could come up with anything interesting. Apophysis generates flame fractals and is mesmerizing to watch as you animate through formula and color variations. UltraFractal is probably the most popular and feature rich application for creating fractals. Most of the images here are flame fractals generated in Apophysis, then rendered with UltraFractal and finally edited in Photoshop for compositing and color manipulation.
