I have recently discovered something... I LOVE fractals! I have always thought they made really neat desktops, but this year my wall calendar at work is fractals too. I'm hooked.
So, I decided I wanted to try to make some of my own. I started reading about how they are created and it sounded kind of complicated, but surely you don't have to do all the calculating of the formulas by hand. I found some software, Ultra Fractal 3, that some one on a fractal site recommended for beginners and downloaded it.
I am completely overwhelmed! I am a few pages into the tutorial and my mind is just spinning in circles! There is so much to manipulate and control, and I don't know how I am ever going to get good at this.
For those of you who create fractals, how did you start? Is there, like, Fractals 101 out there anywhere? Am I completely abnormal and should I just give up?
