Fractal flames are a member of the iterated function system class of fractals created by Scott Draves in 1992. Draves' open-source code was later ported into Adobe After Effects graphics software and translated into the Apophysis fractal flame editor. that all <math>w_k</math>:s are non-negative and sum to one, but implementations such as Apophysis do not impose that restriction.
The functions V<sub>k</sub> are a set of predefined functions.
A few examples
Not all Flame implementations use density estimation.
