February 2024 Challenge_Flowers for Juliana
2024 FEBRUARY CHALLENGE: FLOWERS FOR JULIANA For the 2024 February Challenge: In OM.ufm (not OM2.ufm) open “Juliana”. Under both the inside and also the outside tab, open REB.ucl “Exp Flower2a Texture”. “Juliana” has five parameters, three functions, and 2 exponents. Try these out. Not required but suggested for the REB.ucl Exp Flower 2a Texture: The “Exp Flower 2a Texture” has near the end of the choices under the coloring tabs these fBm (fractal Brownian motion) choices: weight, transfer function, transfer weight, offset, scale and final weight. Try these and see what subtle textures are added to your fractal. Don’t explore the parameter choices under coloring at this early stage but go straight to the fBm options. Be sure to change “Divergent” to “Convergent” to see what you get. Also interesting is this strategy: Go way up directly under the coloring tab and change “Color Density” and/or “Transfer Function”. You may now add other layers with

Using Chaotica transforms to the max
I decided to write this tutorial as most of the IFS tutorials are focused on Apo, and don't really explore all the possibilities Chaotica offers: a nice and flexible transform system, allowing effects that cannot be achieved in Apo without resorting to complex weight and "xaos" structures.
I will present here 5 examples to illustrate those possibilities.
Before reading this tutorial, you may take a look at the tutorial below, as it may help to understand some of the examples:
Also, notice that the focus of this tutorial is to explain a technique and not to teach you how to make some specific setup.
Example 1: Blur with double spherical
