Description
Decided to make the Glass Butterfly fly! Just having a little fun. Enjoy!Butterfly made in Apo 2.08 3D Hack and postwork done in Photoshop CS and animation put together in Image Ready.
If you'd like to see the large size of this, here is the link to the picture in my Photobucket account: [link]

Thou needst to getst thou the apophymator script ([link] ) and animateth this flame as a smooth video.
Looks cool as GIF though.

Thanks for the link. I've downloaded it and I'll try it out. However, the image with the folded wings was done in Photoshop, so it's not a flame. Will the Apophymator still work or do I have to create the folded wings image in Apophysis before I can use it as a frame in the animation? I'd love to make this a smooth video.
Glad you like the GIF.

Oh ok, I did not know the folded wing frame was shopped. I suppose it may be possible to actually fold it in apophysis using the post rotate (X and Y) variations and post adjust (PX) but apophymator will not work on the shopped image, no.

Thanks! I wish animateds could be bigger. You really can't get the impact of the butterfly this small. But it looked kinda cute anyway.

I have rendered this at a larger size as an animated. But I don't think I can upload it to dA because of the size. Here is my Photobucket account link for the larger version of this.

I never delete a flame. I have one major flame pack I work out of and several of specialty flames (magnolias, jellyfish, spiky flames), but most live in my Wall of Design flame pack. So I usually can find flames there if I need to re-render. Then there's always the render3D flame file which has saved me more than once.
I hope you like the larger version.

I was just about to ask why you didn't upload the big one here on DA but this answered my question. It also sparks another one though. How large is too large for DA?
I really love the larger one you have on PB!! I wish you could upload it here too!

Here is what dA says about animated GIFs:
"Please be advised that static or animated .GIF files over 150 px X 150 px will only be fully viewable by clicking on the 'Download' link to the left of the deviation."
So, I could upload the full size for download, but the preview image would only be this small one anyway. You'd have to download it to see the large one. I figured putting the Photobucket link in would serve that purpose.
Thanks, Debi! I'm so glad you liked it.

Yep... one click is the same as the next! LOL!
I got to see some of your other pics there too! I loved the wisteria!!! That was beautiful!!!

So you mean an image of a flame from fire, or is flame a name for some kind of softwear

A "flame" is the name of Apophysis (software) parameters, which make the images. You don't use regular graphic editing software to generate "fractals", which the butterfly is. I used Apophysis to make and render the basic butterfly. I used Photoshop to distort the wings separately from the "body" and I used ImageReady to put the frames together to make the animation.

Thank you for enlightening me. I find what you have said fascinating! You have a great gift of not only wonderful artisitc attributes but of highly skillfull minipulation.
I only came to grips with fractals a few months ago, so there is still much I need to learn, and I am glad you have shared it with me.
These other programs sound really good. I will have to try some pof them out one day.

Hi you said "You never delete a flame?" I dont think we discussed that did we ?

See response to question above. A flame is an Apophysis parameter file.
