This is part two of my series on using Apophysis to make digital fractal art. As I am still learning much of this myself, I have realized that each function of this amazing program deserves a detailed explanation, and I intend to break up this series into more parts than I had planned for the sake of adequately covering all material. In this article, we will focus on the Flame editor and what all those crazy numbers and shapes mean.
