RenderFlam3 1.3.1 upcoming version example: simple Camera Angle/Zoom and Color Cycle sequence.

Rendered in low quality (Samples=50) just to give a preview of the script’s reults.

A new release is available here: RenderFlam3

I’ve finally finished the new Render Flame3 script version.
Preliminary Docs are included in the new archive.
Read the Docs or below for new features.
I’ve lost many of my limited spare time trying to resolve problems and Apo’s Script language limitations regarding VariationVariables; most of them are resolved but new 1.3.x or 1.4 versions will have a complete brand new solution-scheme.

I’m currently finishing the new version of Render Flam3 Step.
The 1.3 version will be soon available (maybe even today) and it’ll have some new fatures; some of them are:
* Animation types: Morph, Sheep and Edges
* Support for the latest version of Apophysis and Flam3
* Flam3 proper installation checks
* Advanced options and commented .Bat file

I decided to slightly change the Script name from “Render Flam3 Step” to simply “Render Flam3″.
The Step term was initially used to expose one of the script’s features: the Step option.
This one seems not much used and underestimated at now so the new name will change to better fit the general usage.

“Infinity stretches unlimitlessly
Countless days pass by immeasurably
Anniversaries gutter in the maelstrom
Whirling a snowstorm of lustrous millennium
We couldn’t stay together
This couldn’t last forever
Senses dissolve into soliloquies
Flooding ascent in synchronicity
But we couldn’t stay together
I knew this wouldn’t last forever
Forever just one more tie then never
This is the last string to sever
On and on yes it goes on and on
I could stay wherever
I would last forever
Forever just one more tie then never
This is the last string to sever
Forever never forever
This is the last string to sever
I have lost you for ever and ever”
