The Official JWildfire Blog

Just released JWildfire V0.38.

Major changes where made to the main program regarding the processing of HDR (High Dynamic Range)  images:

• HDR image loader (which at least allows loading of HDR images generated by the T.I.N.A. fractal flame generator)
• new type of input buffer: HDR image
• enlarged image preview in the select file dialog, image preview also for HDR images
• simple HDR tonemapper (used for the previewing)
• new HDRCompose transformer
• Bump3D transformer: support for HDR images as height map

The following changes where made to the fractal flames generator T.I.N.A.:

• additional output of an intensity map in HDR render mode
• new waves3_wf and waves4_wf variations for more interesting gnarl styles
• glynnSim1, glynnSim2 and glynnSim3 variations by eralex
• prefs for random batch size and background color
• new Bubbles3D and Experimental Bubbles3D random flame generator
• new Flowers3D Experimental Flowers3D random flame generator
