Just curious if anyone's experimented with ChaosPro?
It's a real time freeware fractal generator for Windows that supports UltraFractal formulas. I'm no expert but on first look it seems quite impressive. As well as images, it exports 3d objects (pov).

It's the best freeware fractal generator there is. I have it in my collection.

I get my best results from Fractal Explorer. It hasn't been updated for a while but it still works.
By the way, are those Ogham Runes, I'm not an authority but they look like it?

Fractal Explorer is also very good as are Tierazon and Sterling2 and to some degree which is best depends on which you find produces the best results which is a very individual thing but Chaos Pro is the most comprehensive of them all.

I wish I could master apophysis but I can never get good results.

Yes (good eye) or as the fonts called, Beth-Luis-Nion.

Apophysis uses flame fractals and they are very difficult to get good results with. I generally use the breeder and work visually.

I use only with mandelbulb3d because i love that realistic 3d look, and the large diffusion of presets to tweak (here i intend" parameters")

but i saw excellent fractals done with chaos pro

Strangely enough I forgot M3D and Mandelbulber because the stuff they produce doesn't usually look fractal like.

Well OK they can look fractal like but often they don't. Stop nitpicking PC! :hoh

I was kidding too but I thought you were serious. Those are very fractal like.

well if fractals may get rusty.

But i will not know where to stick a fictional character in a Aphophysis render without give the impression that was just sticked there
m3d fractals are more adapt to host fictional characters just passing by while doing their businesses

But i believe this , even if for me is very relevant, is a quality not so commonly required

Yeah, but I've seen magnificent results from it, I fool with it now and then.
