February 2012 Fabulous Fractals by Angelize Guest Tips and Trick Tutorial

[angelize]

Thanks Frank. I only touched on a few textures that you can create by layering fractals. By having layers with different colours and experimenting with the fractal settings and even combining both kinds of fractals via the transparencies you never know what kind of textures you might come up with. The wood textures for example were some thing I thought of when playing with settings and just messing around while preparing for this tutorial and suddenly I had something that sort of reminded me of wood so I played around a bit more to improve the texture.

I am hoping that the tutorial will inspire others to experiment and post their created textures here!

Thanks for a very good tut. Frances and as always, clear and easy to follow. Look forward to the next one which I believe you have already agreed to do, so lots to look forward to

I'm glad you enjoyed it Stygg. It may be a while before the next one, as I need time to work on it and I want to give others a chance to contribute. (I don't want to hog the spotlight )

Loved the tutorial and also the redesign of XaraXone - thanks to all involved.

I will wait for the next tut. Frances no problem. I got some nice effects from the fractal tut. not yet tried two remaining ones, but I will

Very nicely done Stygg! I hope you are having fun with this as well as learning. You can also experiment with different colours for the wood textures for example if you use more yellowy browns you could simulate pine or yellow cedar, add a bit of reddish browns and you could come up with something resembling mahogany.
