Fractal flame

Encyclopedia : F : FR : FRA : Fractal flame

A fractal flame created in Apophysis.

Fractal flames are a member of the iterated function system class of fractals created by Scott Draves in 1992.

Fractal flames differ from ordinary IFS in three ways:

• Nonlinear functions instead of affine transforms.
• Log-density display instead of linear or binary.
• Color by structure instead of monochrome or by density.
