Much as I am loath to give more attention to the Orbit Trolls, they have a way of upping the audacity ante every time the rest of us get on with actually being productive, making a return visit to binge on the latest drama inevitable.
No longer content to lampoon mere individuals in our community, this time it's all flame fractals that suck!
That's right, all of it. No really, let his meticulously crafted argument and judicious selection of evidence convince you: orbittrap.ca/?p=3510
Special mention is given to my own fractal software: "I think the creative shallowness of flame fractals is best exemplified by Thomas Ludwig's new program, Chaotica." If I squint a little, it's a wonderful compliment!
Many of us in the fractal scene agree that the tricky thing about OT is its juxtaposition of occasionally insightful commentary and profoundly retarded diatribe; it seems to be a winning formula for Tim in particular - good on ya mate, it's better to live in infamy than in obscurity! You've diligently carved out an important place for yourself in the fractal kingdom over the years, that of the Fool.

How can the new dA be so terrible?
It's actually kind of impressive just how bad it is.
Changes
Last night we learnt that our dear friend in fractals, Light Ska Iktomi, has passed away: Devious Journal Entry
She was the sweetest, kindest person you could hope to meet online, and really held the Aposhack (https://www.deviantart.com/aposhack) community together for many years. Those years were some of the best in my life, mostly because of the fractal scene, and she was so so dear to many of us... I genuinely weep for her passing, she was a great one :(
Some more sad news unfortunately, is that I have left my job at Glare Technologies after 9 years. When I joined Glare, I handed over the rights to Chaotica (... it's that old), and they will continue to own it; I've per
Stochastic Labs and SIGGRAPH
I'm doing a residency at Stochastic Labs in Berkeley until July 25th, then will be in Vancouver in August 11-16 giving a talk at SIGGRAPH (!!), finally touring around western USA again in September.
If you're in the area and wanna meet up lemme know! I'll try to organise a talk at UC Berkeley with a bunch of flame fractal people (Erik Reckase, FarDareisMai (https://www.deviantart.com/fardareismai), Platinus (https://www.deviantart.com/platinus), mfeemster (https://www.deviantart.com/mfeemster)) around mid July, that would be really cool if it happens :D
Interview
Hi guys, it's been a while, no? ^^;
Recently I was contacted by Ricky Jarnagin aka DsyneGrafix (https://www.deviantart.com/dsynegrafix) to do an interview, as part of a series he did on some of the people involved in early Mandelbulb days. Of course I was delighted, and that's just gone up on his website: https://fractal.institute/an-interview-with-thomas-ludwig/
Thanks Ricky! :ahoy:
