Fractly Speaking

After using Photoshop for over three years I finally got tired of doing the same things to get a random fractal-like background. Credit for some of the frustration goes to DeviantArt.com
Seeing some of the work there I was crushed to note that my pseudo-complex designs just didn't match up.
Nonetheless with 2GB of RAM and a 2.2GHz dual core beckoning it was time to call in the big guns. Thats where I came across Apophysis. It generates amazing fractals in real-time on the basis of the transformation you select. Yes I know the description is a bit vague, but given that even I am a noob as far as this software is concerned I hope most of you guys will tolerate it.
Any way I strongly suggest downloading one of the newer (post 2.05) beta versions as most of the tutorials I found work with these.
Also to get an idea of what you can do with Apophysis I have uploaded 3 of my latest creations.

Enjoy :)

The Lady in the Water(This was touched up in PS later)

A Song from Beyond

A few days back while I was reading up for my Maths quiz (MA108 for those interested) I remembered a song a friend had once referred me. Its called Simple Finite Group(of Order Two) by group called Klein4. I know April Fool's is already a week old and this is no joke. In fact I personally recommend you watch it. :)

Here's the link:

No, its not a cruel joke. Personally I did find it quite funny.
Happy listening. ;)
