Hello!
Today I studied the program **Apophysis**.
In this lesson I will create a beautiful image from just one shape - a **ball.**

1.Open the program **Apophysis** and create a new fractal from scratch. *File - New*.
At the first triangle I change the standard parameter **linear** to **bubble = 0.5** and **pre_blur = 1**:

2.Add the second triangle, change **linear** to **curl3D = 1**:

3.I move the second triangle down by 0.25:

4.Move the second triangle to the right by 1:

5.I rotate the second triangle 60 degrees to the right:

6.I change the additional parameters in the tab **Variables**:

It turns out a spiral of balls.

I select the scale and color, adjust the brightness:

The received parameters should be saved. This is the base fractal.

7.You can make the drawing more voluminous if you rotate it at an angle:

Result:

And if you zoom in a little, there is already quite a good background image:

8.I load the parameters of the base fractal and begin to experiment with the position of the triangles.

First option:

Result:

[![Apo7_X-180108-4.jpg](https://s9.postimg.org/i9zvknfqn/Apo7_X-180108-4.jpg)](https://postimg.org/image/684hqi6i3/)

The second option:

[![image.jpg](https://s9.postimg.org/3qsqjc227/image.jpg)](https://postimg.org/image/m6d7gqg6j/)

Result:

[![Apo7_X-180108-5.jpg](https://s9.postimg.org/g5fijl19b/Apo7_X-180108-5.jpg)](https://postimg.org/image/m6d7gnnvf/)

The third option:

[![image.jpg](https://s9.postimg.org/vqwu3oie7/image.jpg)](https://postimg.org/image/vqwu3oie3/)

Result:

[![Apo7_X-180108-6.jpg](https://s9.postimg.org/xipsygjpr/Apo7_X-180108-6.jpg)](https://postimg.org/image/wgfmfx0wb/)

So even with simple forms and formulas it is interesting to experiment.
