The dream of a butterflyby ~titiavanbeugen

***************************************

Before I saw this image was an DD, I added the text: entry for the Fractaldreams Icon / ID contest.

This was after Sophquest had decided to make it an DD. So, we both didn't know this from each other. I'm telling this because we both don't want people to be prejudiced for the contest...
I hope I explained it well...

This is the first time I used the layer / texture function in FE.
I consider the use of layers not as real fractals, but there is a big discussion about it.
But..., you can create wonderful images with this possibility.
Ultra Fractal is a very good example.
FE has very basic options to create a two layered fractal, and this is what I've done with it.

In short:
Open FE - render a fractal - click on "Tx" on the menu - a window opens -
load an image as background (just as big as the render) -
uncheck the "infinity area only" box - choose a layer option (like multiply) -
change the "Alpha" box. Just play a bit with these options. Read the warning.
Click "Close".

Save fractal.

The Suggestor Writes: "The dream of a butterfly by *titiavanbeugen is an incredible fractal that brings a butterfly to life. It's colors and form are almost identical to a standard, everyday butterfly. But as one can see, this is no everyday fractal! The artist makes good use of Fractal Explorer's layering option, as well!" ~ What a fabulous fractal creation certainly deserving of a DD! ( Suggested by `xero-sama and Featured by `Sophquest )
