Positive or negative feeling here?
Just feel the side you prefer out of this one.

I thought it’s just a matter of Time – here, deep inside my Soul

Design: Apophysis – Rendering: Flam3 2.7.b8

Chris recently send me the “Cycle Colors” (Rendering version) script he found on Frac forum.

I had some spare time to put my hands on it, just half a minute, and convert it to a Preview script.

To use it:
1) select the code
2) copy and paste to a new empty file
3) rename the file to “Cycle_Colors_preview.asc” (extension have to be “asc”)
4) copy the file to Apophysis scripts directory

Here it is, hope it helps.

I was trying to visualize a stange dream I had a night and I reached to this design.
It’s not completely pertinent but dreams are always an evanescent matter.

I was specially induced by another R.E.M. song (hey I’m completely stuck to some of their pieces during the last months. I feel there’s no need in spending another thankful-word to them; they’re high as the sky: ancient art of music).

Oh you never know where lays the right chord and how to start to play with it.
So… here it is.
