Made using ’s Apophysis 7X v.15 (Get the latest version at his site) To submit to the Apo Challenge #92---- hosted by I used a gradient called “Serpent” because the effect reminded me of some snakes coiled in their nest, that also accounts for the name. Now with feathers !!
Challenge #92 - Collideoscope
It's no secret that `MichaelFaber is one of my favorite fractal artists. He recently released a new plugin called Collideoscope. Our challenge this week is to utilize this plugin to create some very aesthetically pleasing images. The only restriction this week is that the Collideoscope must be used in your fractal and contribute to the fractal in a meaningful way. This means adding 0.04 of Collideoscope into a transform is generally not meaningful (in a few rare instances it may be).
As always, have fun, and stay thirsty my friends! Deadline: Sunday, August 21st 11:59pm (EST)
I hereby authorize to and any Group or Club I am a member of or deviantART member who would wish to post it in their Journals in dA only other sites please ask. Thank you
I tried the 7X.15 and everything is in black/white, I contacted Xyrus, but so far no reply....He is very busy...So it looks like back to APO in 3D....But I love using the new APO's...
You know alot of people think, " oh fractals, you sit back and let a program do all the work.", but anyone who does fractals knows it is highly labor intensive to get the best results....And your work shows that you are not a "push button, sit back" kind of artist...
That is odd! You mean you can't see previous fractals in colours ? Maybe the options point to other place for the gradient folder ? Or the default gradient is just black ? Explain to me as detailed as possible. (I am no expert you know )
I downloaded the exe for Windows 7, when I run the application, all the raw fractals are black and white... Every flame is black and white. when I go to Gradients the colors are there but not transfering to the flame...I will look at options right now...
Hi M, sorry for the delay but saw your note and this message when I was just about to close for the day (my day that is) It seems to me that there is some mess regarding the paths for the various folders of 7X. The screen shot shows a series of samples from 3D 2.09 I would suggest un-installing the 7X version 15 from where you have it running, create a special NEW folder (name it whatever you like), download 7X again to that new folder, unzip it there and run it from that new folder. That's what I would do if I get messy results. Also it seems that you have a very low quality set for the previews, where you have 15 showing in that drop down window in the main window I have 100, it slows down a bit the performance but you can see as close to the final resolution as possible. Hope this helps ?
Thank you for the incentive....

first set up, then bump it up to max///
I agree with you about the paths, my other APO's run from their own folders
and I have no problems with them...
I'll let you know how it works out...
