Another new one. Submitted for the Apophysis "Fall Colours" contest on dART.

New image. Click to view larger versions.

I set it to render and then walk away...for hours. It's well worth the wait when you set the render up for high quality/res. If it's slow-to load while you are creating random batches, you may want to select fewer variables, smaller UPR size and lower batch size in the options menu. It took me a while to get the hang of it. I've been using it for two years and I'm sure I'm still NOT an expert. - Ard

Not really a year. The forum wipeout knocked my thread back so a few pages went mia. I've only had fractal-block since June and simply hadn't brought the thread current from before the wipeout. :twss: ROFL. I know I'm wordy but my first thread states: APO is my primary fractal program. I used GIMP for post-render work like framing/signatures. Check out my DeviantART Gallery and fullview the images for all the details of what I used, including scripts/plugins. Incendia just happens to be my newest tool and was created by a fellow APO user on dART. So far, I've only rendered one item using Incendia. - Ard

Mannoroth has been horrible, lagwise. I've yet to even respec since the patch. Does anyone have a druid they've respec'd - have any tips? - Ard

Yes, it's been a while but I'm hoping to be back in full swing with graphics stuff soon. First thread updated with new images. Here are a couple of fun ones for all you Heroes fans out there: - Ard

Congratulations Peter!!! I'm thrilled to see you take on this role! - Ard

de-evolotion stinks - Ard

Two Summoning levels from 150 Tears tonight: Standard Deviation: 8.25

Yesterday's final level: Combat: 103 Standard Deviation: 11.56

Post any comments, suggestions and additions to the Summoning Guide here. Please keep in mind that as of 1-16-2008, it is a work-in progress. - Ard Update 22 Jan: several folks have suggested a "how to make money from summoning" section. Please feel free to post information from your own game experience how you are making money with summoning.

Yesterday's Summoning Progress. (I'm not posting all the levels, just the final one of the day). Combat: 102 Standard Deviation: 12.47

Just a couple of things. If you have a question about how a thread has been handled, contact the moderator (nicely) for that forum or contact an Administrator via private message. It's virtually impossible for us to see every cross reference to locked/moved/edited threads. As for forum questions, we could just roll them up into this forum as more of a "Forum Questions & Suggestions" theme. Skilled, you have become. - Ard

Another level before (hopefully) Summoning: Standard Deviation: 4.91

Nice way to undo the boredom...hammer virtual stuff. - Ard

All skills now 73+ and one-million xp 130 Tears toward prayer, then gilded altar. Thanks to Das for keeping the burners going while we offered up our dragon bones! Standard Deviation: 4.94

84 Hitpoints rolled me to 100 Combat. I figure that Summoning might have leveled combat upon release so I wanted to level it off deliberately.

Standard Deviation: 5.0 ...strange task from Chaeldar:

Close to slayer level.

Quest Cape off again, on again...

130 Tears and Quest Cape back on...

Whoo hoo! Congratulations and welcome to the team! - Ard
