[req] Apophysis

Hey ive just tried my first ever Apophysis and i have saved and rendered it.

The problem is i cant open the file on anything, do any of you guys know what i did wrong? Or do i have to change the file type somehow? :blink:

*Is confused*

 

When you render it, it should be saved as .PNG. After getting your nice fractal, go to flame>render to disk, I remember everything was in .PNG format.

 

Ok ill try that thanks!

I cant find anything that says i can save it as a png or render as a png :blink:

 

Yeah you have to go to Flame Render to disk but it comes out as a .jpg. There is no other way to make a different format i think.

 

the button with the little yellow gear

or

Flame>Render to Disk

or

just hit CTRL + R



And just becuz ur gonna say it to me...

Hun.

 

Yeah ive done that but it wont open in photoshop :blink:

OMG, i am such an idiot :lol:

Ive found the problem, thanks alot guys for the help

 

hope this helps if not note me

 

I thought i found what was wrong but obviously not, lol

It had a black bg. Ill try yours now girly, thanks hun

 

you can change the size and quality also i just did it quick to show you how to render it
on a side note hun it can take a long time to render depening on the quality sometimes anything up to 20 mins to 14 hours if not more

 

you cant take the black off.

 

Ohh so i did it right in the first place? lol

Such an idiot...how do i get it off then? Do i have to render it or something?

 

the black will always show in the apophysis window
but once you render it and save as a png when you open in photoshop it will be transparent

 

no it still shows the black bg in ps.

Hmm...im doing something totally wrong here :lol:
