The Original Fractal



Here is the original fractal from which will come many variants.

The beauty of the Flame Fractals is how easy it is to create beautiful variants of them.

So often when creating a new fractal, you ask yourself: "How can I make this fractal more interesting?"

Variants is one easy, easy way of making lots of changes in a non-destructive way.

The Power of Variants


It is so easy. Just select the types of variants you want to make and click the Roll Dice button. That's it!
If you like one of the new fractals just save it to a file or to the Stash.

These are actual screenshots showing how beautiful some variants can be.
