You can download a FREE shareware program called Apophysis 7x, for creating fractal art. Make sure you download the newest version. Don’t worry about having to crunch numbers on a calculator to start off it can be easily done visually by moving, shaping, and resizing triangles on an X/Y grid. Of course the more you get into it you can try adding decimals and negative numbers resulting into more interesting fractals. You can easily change the color of your fractal with the gradient tab. You have the ability to zoom in on specific sections of your fractal diving deeper into a whole other world. There are plenty of tutorials on line explaining how to use the script editor for even more complex fractals. A good place to start is Wiki Spacesor YouTube. This is one of my favorite programs for creating fractals, but I must warn you that the problem with this program the farther you zoom, the longer it takes to render the image. For high quality images, the final rendering could take an even longer time, so if you are on a laptop make sure it is plugged in to save the life on your battery. Keep an eye on your laptop while doing a final rendering so it does not overheat!Ĭome check out my Fractal Dimensions page. There are other fractal programs that I will cover in the next article. There is a lot of creative stuff you can do with your computer for fun and possibly make a little bit of money in the process. Ever thought of inventing something, creating a work of art, or learning a new computer based hobby? You can create with your computer and sell your work online. I have seen more and more sites popping up all over the web that print or create products on demand. So there is no need to spend a ton of money on manufacturing and inventory of an item. Most of these companies have the technology and equipment to easily produce an item they offer with your design or logo on it then they sell it on their web site for you at whatever the markup price you want to make. If you are feeling adventurous you can purchase the items directly from them, and they only charge the low cost it took to make it (plus postage). Then you can sell it yourself, on your own web site.
