Psychedelic Starfish II

Feathery
How to use

Click the copy to clipboard button at the top right of the code below (looks like two squares overlaid), then go to JWildfire, and click the From Clipboard button. The flame will now be ready to play with. Remember to always link to any flame you tweak if you post your images online.

Another entry for the flame game, Psychedelic Starfish II is a fractal flame based on using crop and linear splits. Adding a Julia and twisting things around on the z plane.

  1. Thank you Artissimo and Michael, it does look floral you’re right.

    Artissimo, I will add a gradient pack on the site soon, used in the old Fractint days, they work well on these kinds of flames.
