Mouse editing fun: JWildfire V0.59 release
Just released JWildfire V0.59.
This time the new release has not really a lot of new features… but one new striking one: the long awaited view editing mode is now available 🙂 You can now just drag, rotate and zoom your fractal the way it should have been working from the first day 😉
This mode is now the default editing mode, it works as follows:
– left mouse button: drag the fractal (“CentreX” and “CentreY”)
– right mouse button: rotate (“Roll”) the fractal
– middle mouse button/mouse wheel: zoom (“Pixels per unit”) the fractalComplete list of changes:
– new interactive view editing mode (move, rotate, zoom)
– color and color symmetry does also affect the new fract_* family of variations
– lots of internal refactoring regarding the dancing flames editor (does not affect current state of features but makes it more easy to add new features soon)Just click the “Random flames” button to start playing around and have fun 🙂

Dancing flame fractals: JWildfire V0.57 release
Just released JWildfire V0.57.
Major new feature is the “Dancing flame fractals” module. It allows you to create sound-synchronized flame animations, either in realtime or in any desired rendered quality! 🙂 A short tutorial regarding this new module will come soon. Here are some quick hints to help you start playing  it:
- Load any mp3 file using the “Load sound” button (without sound there will be no show)
- Import or generate some fractals (just press the “Generate random flames” to start quickly)
- Start the show by just pressing the “Start show” button (if it appears too slow decrease the image size using the “Border size” slider (increase border size->faster render))
Complete list of changes:
- first working version of the “Dancing Flame Fractals” editor
- new “Splits” random flame generator
- flame preview in the batch renderer
- switched the background transparency display in the movie editor off
- turned off background transparency display in flame file previews
- FIXED: the elliptic variation was broken
- FIXED: Formula mode was broken in the Benoit creator
Just click the “Random flames” or “Dance” button to start playing around and have fun 🙂
