Fractal Artwork

I've been having a bit of a browse around over on deviantART recently (great site, check out the huge variety of artwork on it) and noticed some nice artwork done with fractals. It seems that there's a Windows program, called Apophysis that generates flame type fractals. I haven't done any serious fractaling around since using Fractint (or is this the official site over here at fractint.org?) on DOS based systems, which is now up to version 20.

It is possible to create some really nice, organic looking artwork with Apophysis, that's quite different to the more "traditional" psychedelic fractals that are commonly seen.

There's also a dude who's done what is quite possibly the deepest zooming animation into the Mandlebrot set ever done - it zooms in to a factor of 1x10E89 and took 8 months to render using 2 and then 3 computers. According to the artist, at a zoom factor of around 1x10E26, the original Mandlebrot set would be expanded to the size of the known universe, so this animation is a pretty amazing achievement, zooming in that far.

Wikipedia also has some more info on Apophysis and Fractint if you're interested.
