STEP 10: Rendering & Final Image

Now you have downloaded the Apophysis program as described HERE, you are ready to start your artistic adventure!
Go to your desktop, and double click one of the icons that now appears there.  You need to click one of the following
images there.
     
The following screen shots are taken from the beta Apophysis, (the second image above), but for the information that
appears here, either version will work just fine for you.

Now your APOPHYSIS program is OPEN!  You will see a window that looks very much like the one below....

As we see below, there is an image file that will open up as the program appears.  Here we see a file called
"Apophysis-080630-1" has opened.  These are RANDOM files that the program itself generates when it is opened
and will most likely be different each time you open your program up.  Therefore, the images that appear on
your side will be different than the one we see above and below, and that's a good thing!   :D

If you are not pleased with the starting image the program gives you, just click on one of the other 100 that appear
on the list along the left hand side beside your preview window.

I'm just going to use the starting image that the program provided.  You can do the same, or "browse" until you
find one you are interested in.  Once you have, make sure that the drop down window shown below is set to "5".
This is the initial render speed, and its number will determine how quickly and clearly you will see your image
once you start manipulating it.  "5" makes for quick, yet "grainy" preview images, just what we want at this stage.

Later, when you are comfortable with the program, play with these settings to find the one you like!  ;)

So that's all for Step Two... EASY!
- Double click on an Apophysis program to open it -
- Choose a random file that interests you -
- Ensure your render speed is set to "5" -

Now you are ready to make your OWN fractal!  Click HERE to see what's neXt in Step Three!
