A couple of minor code updates make the new version blazing faster when used on big flame-packs.

This script Export the current selected flame to file compatible for ES (ElectricSheep) server submission.

ExportSheep has a very simple usage: it exports the currently selected flame to a new file that is compatible to ES server submission.
Using ExportSheep you don’t have to modify the flame you want upload to by hand anymore; simply upload the generated file.

The script deals with the whole creation process by its own; it also checks for proper Variations and “kills” the unsupported ones.
It displays the preview of the generated file so you can check the current selected flame against the generated one.

It’s available in two versions:
Export Sheep s2.6 for the current server
and
Export Sheep s2.7 for the upcoming 2.7 server

The 2.7 version uses three parameters located end of the main comment: render width, height and quality. They’re value is equal to the actual beta server one but they can be changed when the server will switch to the final stage.

The script is actually in testing-stage; it works ok, as far as I can see, but there’d still be some minor faults in it. Use it at your own risk.

I’ve tested RenderFlam3 1.3.6 using the last Flam3 2.7.12 release.
The Script finds the new version correctly when it used in the “plain directory” installation.

I’ve got to address more about the “sub directory” mode but I think I’ll completely remove it during the 1.4 development cycle.
There’ll be some utilities script to configure the whole thing removing the main problem about Flam3 installation and keeping the general usage a lot simpler.

This version adds some more support to Flam3 new features.

It now supports the new Interpolation Space tag plus enable_jpeg_comments and enable_png_comments vars.
Updated Flam3 version checking scheme
Little changes to the bat file writing routine and some minor code clean-up.

RenderFlam3 main purpose is rendering a sequence of Flames using Flam3 to create animations.
It’s an Apophysis script which cycles through the flames in the Title Window,
sets their time field,
sets their advanced animation tags,
saves them all off to a single flame file,
and then creates a bat file (to the same output path).
Executing the bat file will launch flam3-animate and render the animation’s frames; Flam3 will interpolate all the flames.
RenderFlam3 can create Morph, Sheep or Edge animations.

I’m back to RenderFlam3 Apophysis script development after some months of complete silence.

This version has some small but interesting enhancements:
+ the Script is now Apophysis version independent for Apophysis 2.07 beta, Apophysis 2.06 beta Z+, Apophysis 2.06c 3D hack and newer ones
+ it uses the SaveFile Dialog to select the output flame+bat files
+ it adds some raw support for Flam3 2.7.6 up to 2.7.11 versions.

Nothing more, nothing less!

The Apophysis 2.05 beta 2, Apophysis 2.05 Z+ beta 2 and Apophysis 2.05 Z+ beta 2 C++ version it’s actually not updated; the included version is the 1.3.2 one.
These old Apophysis versions are dropped so I’ll don’t support them anymore.

This simple script checks for Apophysis Variations usage against the upcoming ESheep server 2.7 and it displays the selected flame the same way it will appear when uploaded on the render-queue.

Nothing more, nothing less.

This is my own version of the ESheep’s Sheep Loop script for the upcoming 2.7 server (to submit a sheep to the current server please use the classic Sheep Loop script: Using Apophysis to Make Sheep).

It properly checks supported Flam3 variations against Apophysis ones; if an Apo variation is not supported then is cleared.
The resulting Preview is the correct sheep you’ll obtain posting the genome on the server.

Note: Sheep Loop script doesn’t modify the current flame.

This is just a small maintenance release to support the new Apophysis 2.07 beta.
Nothing less, nothing more!
