Gallery makeover project : Fractals

Mon Mar 18, 2013, 10:03 AM
Hi guys! :iconlawooplz:

As I've mentioned in my last this week in my MC, you may have seen that actually there's a huge project around gallery makeover.
Fractal could be impact and could change now ! 

For our main gallery actually we have this structure :



Which seems to be OK for me.
But it's my own opinion, and I'm not the community ! 

:bulletblue: So you, what do you think of this ? 
:bulletblue: How would you change it ?

What I think is important to keep in mind is the fact that we're trying to be the more generic as possible...

So I think I won't accept suggestion like : "Please give us real sub-category in each category ! Like a Ultra Fractal folder, an Apophysis folder and a Mandelbulb folder"
I support that simply because it's impossible to keep those kind of sub-categories up to date...
Imagine if each time a software is create, you must re-structure each subcat, move all the "misscat" deviations etc...

Also the main aim of this project is to "simplify" our categories to make them even more efficient ! 
So we're actually deleting and merging many of them. (don't worry actually fractals are not impact) 



Now let's take a look at our Resources and Stock images gallery ! 
Here I think we could make some more efficient changes !

Here's our actual structure :


At first sight the main structure seems OK.

:bulletred: IMO I would love to change the Parameters Pack name to Parameters
Why ? Simply because actually we should not have only PACKS in this gallery.
There's no place where to post fractals with parameters, which make them really hard to be found outside of some specifics groups folders... 

:bulletred: How would you change it ?
:bulletred: What are your needs in our Resources gallery ?

Don't hesitate to ask for something or to tell me your opinions about our category structure.
It's time to create some awesome for you and made by you !

Take care and stay devious

:heart:
Damien


Suggestions recap:

- Update the Raw fractal category with :
_ 2 Dimensional Fractals.
_ 3 Dimensional Fractals.

- Removing the animation gallery.

- Find a way to include 3D software textures / meshes / palette.

- Rename Parameters Packs for Parameters.

- Allowed more file formats in Parameters.

Every time I try to copy a script and paste it in Edit Scripts, I get a Syntax error in one of the lines. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I am using 7x.

I am working thru the tutorials by Tara Roy and find them clear and easy to follow except for one question. Tutorial 2 on MCRM when she said to apply it, I thought she was demonstrating how the program works in the background but when you get to #5 on designing your own, she says to apply MCRM and see the changes. I don't see how to do that.

Hi! I had a question about a program.

What is the program that is separate/stand alone from Apophysis that you can use to create gradients for Apophysis? I used to have it on my old laptop but then I replaced my laptop and now I have no idea what it is! :(

Thank you!

Oyoy fellow fractal communtiy,
I'm just requesting to join your group, but there's one thing I need to know now! ^^
I tried to install some plugins into the "Plugins" folder of Apophysis 7X, but I can't find them anywhere in the program. Not even in the settings "Variations".
What am I doing wrong? Your help would be very appreciated. Thank you! :)
