Idon't know how many Mac Users there are out there besides myself that havefound themselves very frustrated trying to join in on the 'Apophysis, FractalMaking Fun'. I have just about pulled the rest of my hair out infrustration. One mistake I had been making was to do a Google searchfor 'Making Fractals on Macs'. All I kept running across were pretty crudeapplications or ones that just did not work. After talking with Xand expressing my frustration, he suggested I look up 'Apophysis on Macs' and......... Wa La, I felt the slight hint of a grin creeping onto my face. ![Apophysis 7x For Mac Apophysis 7x For Mac](/uploads/1/1/8/5/118560939/566757684.jpg)
OK,first off you MUST HAVE Java 1.4 or higher. The Javaversion I have is 1.4.2 The Mac system I am running on is OS X 10.4.11
Aftertalking to X I found a site that has a download for a Fractal making program. It is Apophysis-J2.5 for Mac. The link: http://herr-grinch.deviantart.com/art/Apophysis-J-2-5-for-Mac-86807995. I downloaded it and suddenly the world was right again. I then startedrunning into a few hitches. One being, the program kept telling meI did not have enough memory to render the Flame. Reasons unknownto me, the Mac version will not give you the option to put in a Bufferdepth or bump up the memory, at least is is not letting me change it. So you're basically stuck with the memory it gives you. Thus youwill not be able to make your fractals as sharp and clear as PCers areable to. I also ran into a few problems trying to render it the sizeI wanted. So, in my case I had to size it down until it said I hadenough memory. You will have to go a little lower than it tells you. It might say you have enough memory, but when you try and render, it willtell you it can not allocate more memory. Just keep reducing thesize until it will let you render.
Apophysis is a freeware Windows program for designing and rendering fractal flames. It was created by Mark Townsend and has since been improved and updated by Peter Sdobnov, Piotr Borys and Ronald.
Ilooked around for solutions to my problems via the internet. I ranacross a newer version of the above mentioned. It is Apophysis-J2.56.jarfor Mac. Here is the link: http://www.box.net/shared/i2s8t710cw. A lot of problems I was having seemed to go away. I can not really tellyou if you could just download this version first. When I downloadedthis version it really just updated the Apophysis-J2.5 I had originallydownloaded. I don't see any reason why you can not just download this version.

After starting this fractal area at misterx.ca, i was surprised to learn that the apophysis programs distributed here do not work for my friends with mac computers.

Mylittle note is for the Mac People out there having the same problems Ihave been having getting started and maybe just maybe, someone can helpfigure out some of these problems and maybe a solution......Then let meknow!!!! I am now having problems doing a render, it just does notwant to work. It does it in about 2.5 seconds and then my file isblank. It was working for me last night???
Besidesthe fact that I now have absolutely no idea of what I am doing, it seemedto be working enough to make some cool art. But, I have found theneed to enroll in X's school of knowledge once again, Previously Flakingand now for Fractals. Believe me I strongly suggest you do the same!!!! I hope this helps someone. Not sure, but I can hope! Good Luckand have fun!!!
