A new release is available here: RenderFlam3

Long time away from my main Apophysis Script: I had so few spare time during the last months. Not much will be available too in the next future due to main-job and the joyful approaching birth of my son (next week).
So I’ve forced the ‘spin’ to finally put my hands to the 1.3.9 final version.

A lot of small thing was left undone in the beta3 and they’re quite complete now.

I’ve added support for Flam3 2.8 beta7 and the new Variations (auger, cos, cosh, cot, coth, csc, csch, exp, log, sec, sech, sin, sinh, tan, tanh); ‘nframes’ and ‘pixel_aspect’ Flam3 commands are now available in the .bat file and then I dropped the support for the previous 2.8 beta versions due to their small bugs.

The Flam3 ‘stagger’ had a small quirk related to Sheep and Edges animations that it’s resolved in this version.

I’ve updated the Padding XForms and the Export/Preview routines. They work far better now. Padding XForms can be used on very large files. Preview is now fully consistent with the exported Flames and it can also be aborted cos it’s executed after the whole exporting).
Global Camera Rotation works properly with both Clockwise and Anticlockwise rotations.

Take a look at the complete Changelog; read it below.

In gara a tre concorsi internazionali negli Usa collegati agli Academy Awards. Pugliesi i due registi e lo sceneggiatore (di S.Vito dei Normanni)

Un primo piano su delle singolari scarpe rosse con il tacco e un paio di stivali da cowboy. Una ninna nanna in sottofondo di quelle che ci facevano addormentare da bambini con quel ritmo cantilenante e con quelle parole rassicuranti. Poco dopo si sentono le voci di quella donna e di quell’ uomo, di cui abbiamo visto solo i piedi e le figure sfumate: stanno parlando di un omicidio. Poi lo schermo si oscura e sempre accompagnata dalla voce della donna che canta la ninna nanna, compare una scritta: tratto da una storia vera. Poi la scritta scompare ma quella ninna nanna ora ci mette i brividi. Adesso lo spettatore è avvinto dalla curiosità: chi è stato ucciso? A chi appartengono quei piedi e quelle scarpe? E soprattutto perché su una scena del crimine qualcuno canta una ninna nanna?

On Saturday, April 10, soldiers of the Afghan army and the International Coalition Forces attacked the Emergency Surgical Centre of Lashkar-gah and arrested members of the national and international staff. Three of them are Italian citizens: Matteo Dell’Aira, Marco Garatti e Matteo Pagani.

EMERGENCY is an independent and neutral organisation. Since 1999, EMERGENCY in Afghanistan has provided medical assistance free-of-charge to over 2,500,000 Afghan citizens, by establishing three surgical hospitals, a maternity centre and a network of 28 first aid posts.
