Description Ultrafractal 4.03 (eggs and bkgd.) -- Apophysis 2.05b2-Z+ (plants) -- Composed/layered in Photoshop 7


Happy Easter, y'all! Yeah, it's getting up here pretty late - been spending all day having to render all of the ton of flames in this pic since the current Apo translation ucl doesn't handle some of the new variations in Apo. Namely "curl", which was one of the ones used in these flames. Bummer! What a lot of work! These are the best "plant" flames I've ever made and it was a drag I couldn't composite this in UF. Ah well, I appreciate a lot the ton of work that has been already done to keep the Apo/UF link mostly still open and I DID get really good at scaling, moving and rotating in PS with all the practice, so that's a good thing.

The background is a tweak of one of Joie's old UF images. Here's a link to her gallery - [link]
I got to play around with the "smudge" tool to sorta blend it in some. Kinda fun.

Anyhow, I wish you all a very happy Easter holiday - arguably the most important event in the history of mankind, imo. Thanks for stopping by and watch out you don't step in the egg dye I spilled! lol
Rick

Thanx! The four eggs signify the four Gospels in the New Testament. Here's a link to another Easter pic I made wher i tried to convey the story/meaning of Easter in the context of the Easter egg - [link]
