[ASK] Apophysis: About Oversample.

Jun 1, 2010

For those of you who use Apophysis as your fractal software, please answer this questions: 1. What does oversample do in rendering? The Apophysis help file tells us that it's useful for Anti-Aliasing, but i still don't get what that means. 2. Do you play with oversample while rendering your fractals? 3. What value is the best for it to work? Should i stay with the default value (two) or should i try different values? 3b. I noticed that it takes (n^2)x(render time or free memory needed) for each n value. With default oversample value and my limited 512 RAM on my old PC, all i can get are 2048x1536 sized rendered fractals. But if i reduced

Apophysis Image Rendering and Multithreading

Jan 5, 2007

This article relates to the fractal program "Apophysis" (Apo), but may also be relevant to other image rendering programs. In Apo, there is a setting in the OPTIONS menu where one can specify the number of rendering "threads" to use. This has a direct impact on the amount of rendering time an image takes to render. If set to OFF, the image will render as if it was using a single CPU. If set to 2 or 4, the image will render in much less time, because it has 2 or 4 CPU cores of which to take advantage. People who have Intel CPUs, which have hyperthreading (such as some Pentium 4's), can set this option to 2 if they wish (DO NOT use higher tha
