Hard shadows really bring out the depth in 3D fractals, learn how they work here.
What do the material settings do in the 3D section, how can they be altered to make your graphics stand out?
Mesh work, is a fascinating way of breaking fractals down into slices and then using them for 3D.
Another 3D technique to allow fractal shadow receiving which makes for a glorious image.
What is a menger sponge? How can I make one? Easy, watch this.
Learning the more advanced technicalities of JWIldfire, well worth a watch.
How to use the the post colormap variation to really bring out the depth and vibrancy of your fractal images.
The Plotting variations are a great deal of fun, and there are so many ways to play. Learn here how to use them.
Not the best title in the world, watch how this flame was constructed, pick up new technique.
Two great variations explained by Brad. dc_perlin is a great way to colour and creating a variation from another flame (subflame)
