Description Click DOWNLOAD for 12 Apophysis flame resources. Please credit me if you use them. I took the time to provide these for you, so its the least you can do.

Download more flames and resources here: [link]

Alright guys, you've been asking for it so here it is, if you have any questions, note me!

You will need Photoshop to do this, unless you want to use your own flames, then you need Apophysis... I've provided 12 of them for you guys to work with, there yours so do with them as you wish...

TROUBLE WITH APOPHYSIS: For those who have no clue about this program, as I've said before, you set the Variation setting (top of the program) to "Spherical". Then you go through the list of flames until you see one that is of your liking, then click the "Green" play arrow, this will cycle the flame through a transformation, then click the "black" stop square when you see a shape you like. Then go to file and Export flame... save it at a high resolution. Nice looking flames can be tough to come accross, so just keep restarting the program until you find ones you like. The program is free, all you have to do is google it.


Note: the majority of my nebulae are thoroughly painted over in Photoshop, to give that extra burst of depth and shape, so if you are having trouble getting flames you like, try tweaking them over in PS with some brushes or possibly textures. Try anything and everything, it takes time, patience, and most of all, trial and error.

Regards,

Chris

PtolemaiosLS [2012-03-21 22:05:10 +0000 UTC]

really nice and easy tutorial, I will do space art from now on .

just a question, which parameters do you use when rendering?

I normally use 2000x2000 and 5000 quality, oversample 2 or 3 and filter 0.8, but IΒ΄m not sure if i need such quality for space art, since are various fractals and maybe the overlay effects donΒ΄t require such a big quality and definition.

My Flames always come out grainy and pixelated...
What specific settings do you export your Flames on?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Rainbow-colors In reply to Shatterfish [2011-04-06 00:37:47 +0000 UTC]

Try setting your "quality" higher, mines usually by default set to 200 in the renderer. If that doesn't work, you might want to zoom out, since fracas will appear grainier the more you zoom in.

"the majority of my nebulae are thoroughly *painted over* in Photoshop, to give that extra burst of depth and shape"

By *painted over* in PS you mean what exactly? I just want to understand the meaning. Thanx.
