About Fractal substitution tiles
Fractal Art Weekend
Suggested prior knowledge:
Know how to use Apophysis or Chaotica (fractal editor software)
Know some IFS tiling basics (strongly suggested: rep-tiles tutorial ~by tatasz)
Some examples of fractal tiles
Just so you know what I will be talking about.

And of course some tilings I did myself.
What is a tiling?
We want to seamlessly cover a surface with a pattern, using a fixed set of shapes (e.g. only parallelograms and triangles). However, it is only allowed to do this
First of all, special thanks to Zueuk (https://www.deviantart.com/zueuk) who had the patience to explain me all the hypertile stuff =D
There is also an awesome hypertile tutorial that you should check out first: Hypertile Uncovered With 3D
Basics
To make a basic hypertile, you will need 2 transforms: Basic hypertile
hypertile2, rotated 180 degreesbubble (small amount, about 0.25 lets say) with pre_blur
The exact bubble size to fill a hypertile can be calculated exactly, or you can just change the amount of bubble until it fits.
The hypertile has two parameters, p and q. Basically, this means it takes p-gons, with q polygons meeting at each vertex (this doesn´t mea

Interview with Matt (Fractorium dev) by tatasz, journal
Interview with Matt (Fractorium dev)
First of all , please introduce yourself to the community.
My name is Matt. I’m 35 and I live in San Diego, California, United States with my wife. I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in computer science in 2001 and have been working ever since writing software. This project was done outside of my full-time job as a senior software developer.
And, of course, tell us about your software.
My project has several pieces and can be found here:https://github.com/mfeemster/fractorium/wiki
Before I give the details, I’d like to preface it by saying this is beta software, so you might find bugs or things that you don’t like
Hi there! :wave:
I was so much inactive these days that some of you maybe don't even know who am I ;) Well, I was busy at my new job, but now I'm back, and you can try catching me at #Aposhack channel.
Apophysis 3
It is that time when you can post your thoughts or ideas about new Apophysis. Yes, it is under its way :)
Be warned though, the new major version number is not for nothing... Apophysis 3 will be a huge step forward.
The most important thing is it will support layers. Every layer can be a flame, a background,
a time-escaped fractal... and probably other types, too. A single design can have as many layers, as you can create.
