Description
As promised, here's the tut on creating tube and ribbon-like flames from tiles in the style of Sigillum. I made into a ZIPped .PDF to save downloading time. There's a couple disclaimers inside you may want to read before you begin - you'll need a square tile fractal to start with, which can be created according to the instruction provided here [link]I've tested and proof-read the tut a few times and it should work fine, but please feel free to notify me every bug you may find.
Hope you'll have fun with this, and don't forget to show me what you tweak out of it, mkay?
Last minute edit: initially, I'd been in doubt for a while wether or not I should provide a starter flame with the tut, since the credit for the tiling technique's not mine after all.
However, well after finishing the tut, I've just received a most welcome permission note from `Platinus . I can't edit the .PDF at the moment - however, included in the .ZIP you'll find a text file with the starter flame parametres - if you can't/don't want to get to the link above, just copy-paste the text into Apophysis for a quick start.
Last minute edit take two: just notified me that a transform was missing from the starter text I'd uploaded. This is entirely my fault, I've messed up between different copypastes. If you've chosen to go through the LTS it'll be no prob. However, I've fixed that now. My apologies.

If you mean the link in the comment, it's fixed too
If you mean the links in the tut, they weren't meant to work

hihi...ok first comment...i took the lazy way lol and used the square tile starter flame as i couldnt wait to see what happens....but it doesnt produce 8 transforms it only produces 7 ...luckily i know how to get the eigth but that might be confusing for beginners, as at the end of the tut for the first few seconds i was thinking :- uhmm 8th , ups i dont have an 8th to play with. But apart from that, your tutorial is very easy to follow , clearly explained and well written, respect!

Maybe there is something wrong here on my computer, but I just can't unzip it

NilNilNil In reply to tatasz [2008-02-08 12:53:03 +0000 UTC]
Nope, checked it again and everything seems fine here. Meanwhile, if that's not too much of a hassle to you (and if you still haven't) I suggest you get and install IZArc [link] which is the software I've used for zipping the tut, and prolly the best zip manager out there.
As a very final resort, if all else fails, send me a mail to rivetnerd[at]gmail[dot]com and I'll reply back attaching the unzipped files...

tatasz In reply to NilNilNil [2008-02-08 15:10:04 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, it was a stupid program... There was nothing wrong with the zipping/unzipping software.
I just gave too many donuts to my computer and it became... lets say... nasty =/
But now it is working

Mmh that's odd ... I'll see if there's something I can do, but I need you to tell me which archive manager you're using and what's the error message you get (if you get one)...
