A Mandala like design.

A new release is available here: RenderFlam3

Well, this is the public beta release.
Sorry for the setback about beta1 but I found a couple of quirks that could potentially lead users to some headaches.

The Chaos tag was improperly including the FinalXForm value (always equal to 1); this value is totally redundant and unneeded.

Global Camera Rotation feature (introduced in 1.3.8.3 release) was spinning the Camera in the wrong direction (the opposite one) cos Apophysis uses an inverted Rotation value.

This version supports most of the new Flam3 2.8 Beta2 new features.

Even simple lines can create complex designs: they draw paths and they accumulate as any other entity creating thin areas and spots of color.

The long chains of simple and easy reasonings by means of which geometers are accustomed to reach the conclusions of their most difficult demonstrations, had led me to imagine that all things, to the knowledge of which man is competent, are mutually connected in the same way, Read the rest of this entry »

Back to a design mainly based on Swirls after more than one year!

As the title says… just a simple Tile based design!

A new release is available here: RenderFlam3

I’m finally approaching the last 1.3.x release (better later than nothing).
I’m actually calling it “beta1″ cos I didn’t have much time to deep test it but I’m quite sure that it should not have strange behaviors or quirks in it.

I’ve added complete Flam3 2.8 beta support: new Variations, new env var and new Flame tags.
The Export routine is finally forced to a single code loop and I’ve corrected some small/rare and quite old quirks.

There’s a lot to list but I think it’s faster and better to read below (Changelog) for all the new stuff.

This is an “internal” release.

Turbulence is certainty turbulence is friction between you and me
Suffering and pain crystallised in a brain that recreates the process again
Draws borders, cites laws monopolies of food and trade start wars
Every time we try to impose order we create chaos we create chaos -
breakdown breakdown
breakdown breakdown
breakdown

I have my doubts
A state of eternal conflict is all i have found
We build a wall that is made of tears
watch the house fall down
And at the end of my life
Yes at the end of my life
All shall be well all is as it was always meant to be…
Mathematics Of Chaos, Killing Joke
