Cosmic Recursive Fractal Flames - The web site of Scott
Draves, the original developer of the flame fractal. Scott released
the software he wrote as open source (freeware) thus allowing
flame fractals to be incorporated into other graphics programmes.

Apophysis is a sophisticated freeware Windows program
for designing Flame Fractals and IFS fractals. It was developed
by Mark Townsend. I recommend that you join the Apophysis mailing
list where you will have access to the latest beta version of
the programme. The beta versions are constantly being upgraded
and improved and the flames can be saved as jpgs to your hard
drive. Many hours of enjoyment are to be had with this fantastic
programme.

When using Apophysis it may be a good
idea to sign up for the mailing list. You can ask any questions
or just learn from other peoples' questions and answers. Also any
announcements about the programme are made here. Just be aware that
this list can get very busy, resulting in many emails to your inbox.

KnotWorker - Are you fascinated by Celtic Knots? Well
I am and I was very excited to have discovered this terrific programme
by David Hall of Gold Cup Software.
- Quickly draw knotwork designs without any previous experience
- Use the 60 KnotStyles supplied with KnotWorker to give character
to your knots - or create your own!
- Edit the flow of knots using the Breakline Editor
- Arrange your designs on a page using drag and drop
- Add image effects, including colour phase and outline
- Quickly change the colour of a knot, rotate, flip, and control
layer position
- Save your design in the Windows Bitmap format for use in your
favourite wordprocessor, DTP program or graphics editor
- Save your design in the native KWD format for editing later
- Tutorials teach you how to draw knots and how to create your
own KnotStyles using the KnotStyle Editor
I found KnotWorker to be very intuitive and easy to use. You'll
be making beautiful celtic knot designs in no time. It's a lot
of fun and I just love it!
KnotWorker has a free trial so you can try before you buy. The
cost to unlock the programme is US$10.00. This is such excellent
value for money, so please consider donating a bit extra as a
bonus for the developer.
