    "Those who travel very slowly may yet make far greater progress, provided they keep always to the straight road, than those who, while they run, forsake it."
    Rene Descartes, Discourse on the Method

    "Lo so che parlo perche' parlo ma che non persuadero' nessuno; e questa e' disonesta' - ma la rettorica mi costringe a forza a far cio' - o in altre parole "e' pur necessario che se uno ha addentato una perfida sorba la risputi"."
    C. Michelstaedter, La Persuasione e la Rettorica

    "Under a darkening sky / The night is falling down on me / And I'm thinking that I should / Head on home / Been gone too long / Leave my roaming"

    Flame2File v.0.8b - Apophysis script

    20th October 2006

    Another new but beta version.

    The scripts now needs Installation of extra utilities for the correct usage of Sheep related options. Read “Installation” section below.

    It’s now possible Extract files only; this was trashed by v.0.7

    Some options consistency updates.

    Single Batch mode now creates a simple LOG file that it’s automatically deleted at the end of the overall rendering process.
    This is expecially useful for long batches: the LOG file can quite easily show at
    which point the rendering process was halted (before the end).
    Editing and executing the “batch” file again can restart the rendering process.

    Create a Sheep Preview Image ala ES (Sheep overall loop-motion).

    For better details read “Usage” section.

    I’ve quite completed all planned features.

    Flame2File v.0.8b
    (Flame to File)
    Download here: Flame2File (Right click - Save As)

    Released under GPL License - http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html

    Install:
    Download here: Flame2File_Utils.zip (Right click - Save As)
    Copy “jpegtopnm.exe“, “pnmcat.exe“, “pnmscale.exe“, “pnmtojpeg.exe“, “libnetpbm10.dll” and “jpeg62.dll” to Flam3 directory (normally “c:\flam3\”).
    Flame2File v.0.8 needs them to create the same “Sheep preview image” as ES’s server one.
    NOTE:
    “jpegtopnm.exe”, “pnmcat.exe”, “pnmscale.exe”, “pnmtojpeg.exe” and “libnetpbm10.dll” are part of “Netpbm” Project: http://netpbm.sourceforge.net/ “jpeg62.dll” is part of “GnuWin32″ Project: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/

    Description:
    Flame2File is script that extracts Apophysis Flames files to single Flame files.
    Useful for ESheep server uploading or Apophysis/Flam3 rendering.
    It can also render tem extracted files using Flam3 or Apophysis; starting from v.0.7 it can also create Sheep frames and a Sheep Preview Image ala ES (Sheep overall loop-motion).

    Usage:
    Save or Show - Extract Flames or simply Show indexed names (useful for Range option).
    Show option also create a text File that reports all the indexed names.
    Example: “Test.flame” produces “Test.flame_index.txt”

    Prefix - sets the prefix for Flame saving; no leading chars added.

    Output path - where do you want save the extracted Flames.

    Save Range - Extract all Flames, only a sub-range or a single Flame of current Flame file.
    Start at n. - first flame
    End at n. - last flame

    Select preferred Renderer - let you select if you want simply Extract flames out of current Flame file or if you want Extract and Render them using Flam3 or Apophysis

    Create single/multiple “batch” files - Flam3 specific option
    Let you create a Batch file for every flame or a single batch file for all the extracted flames.
    Useful for rendering single or multiple flames in a mouse-click using Flam3.
    NOTE: Single “batch” mode also produces a simple LOG file that it’s automatically deleted at the end of the overall rendering process.
    This is expecially useful for long batches: the LOG file can quite easily show at
    which point the rendering process was halted (before the end).
    Editing and executing the “batch” file again can restart the rendering process.

    Flam3 software path - Flam3 specific option
    Point to Flam3 installation path

    Render Quality - self explanatory

    Flam3 Batches - Flam3 specific option
    Let you select how many Flam3 Motion-Blur you need (using the old Batches mode).
    This is no more supported starting at_flam3-2.7 beta 8 (flam3-2.7b8)
    The “Batches” tag was replaced by “Passes” tag but Apo Flame class supports only the first one.

    Filter Radius - let you select how much filtering do you want apply

    Oversample - render using Oversample, let you select Oversample value.

    Background Transparency - Flam3 specific option
    Activate the Flam3 Transparency - OFF by default

    Filetype (jpg/png) - Flam3 specific option - saving file format for Flam3 option

    Useful to create a preview similar to the ESheep server one.

    Sheep Preview Image Size? Small=0 - Medium=1 - Large=2 - Flam3 specific option
    Create a Preview Image ala ES (Sheep overall loop-motion).
    Select the Preview Image resolution; the image is created using a 4×4 combo out of the Sheep Preview frames.
    Small = 256×192 - Medium = 640×480 - Large = 1280×960
    NOTE: it’s only available when Filetype option is “jpg”.

    Chaoscope v.0.31

    19th October 2006

    Forgot to post it before… sorry!

    Download Chaoscope v.0.31

    FIXES
    - Missing OpenGL extensions were ignored, causing Light and Plasma to crash
    - Switching to “Opacity Mask” in Save as dialog set the path to Parameters folder
    - View was udpated five times when Solid mode View Settings was loaded or during Batch Processing
    - Changing Batch processing “project step” via text box wasn’t updating “first project” controls
    - Zooming out could cause the render to scroll out of the frame
    - On XP, palettes could be displayed behind the main application window
    - View wasn’t refreshed when overlapping view was minimized
    - Creating very large projects could fail even with sufficient RAM
    - Simple Preview attractor color wasn’t updated correctly when background color was changed
