The Official JWildfire Blog

Just released JWildfire V0.22.

Major changes where again made to fractal flames generator T.I.N.A.

History:

• Fractal flame editor: waves2 variation
• Fractal flame editor: simplified interface, three basic sets of prefs: for preview, normal and high quality rendering
• Basic prefs window finished
• Fractal flame editor: preview image uses same aspect as rendered images
• Fractal flame editor: wedge and scry variation
• Fractal flame editor: cross and bipolar variation, some minor bug fixes
• FIXED: Fractal flame generator: progress bar is updated properly regarding to color oversampling
• FIXED: fractal flame editor: fixed a bug in the GammaCorrectionFilter causing sometimes an overflow on the blue color component
• FIXED: Fractal flame editor: ZScale variation was broken
• Fractal flame editor: color “key frames” can now be edited
• Fractal flame editor: optional color oversampling (experimental)

As usual click the “Random flames” button to start playing around and have fun 🙂

Just released JWildfire V0.21.

Major changes where again made to fractal flames generator T.I.N.A.

History:

• Fractal flame editor: new “tentacle” style for random batches
• Fractal flame editor: one more (4th) row for nonlinear variation
• Fractal flame editor: translation (affine transformation) in the ui changed to using global coordinates
• Fractal flame editor: reset transform function in the UI
• Fractal flames editor: Coeeficients c20 and c21 of the affine (post) transformation may be edited manually now
• FIXED: Fractal flames editor: Flam3Writer: variation parameters where not saved
• Fractal flame editor: blade and blade3D variation
• Fractal flame editor: tangent and tangent3D variation
• Fractal flame editor: random flame generator: separated style and symmetry
• Fractal flame editor: smoother center scrollbars, increased precision of displayed numeric values
• Fractal flame editor: progress bar
• FIXED: Fractal flame editor: iteration overflow on large images (or very high quality settings)
• FIXED: Images are no longer cached
• Fractal flame editor: improved oversampling
• Fractal flame editor: some additions to the UI concerning “triangle editing”

As usual click the “Random flames” button to start playing around 🙂

Just released JWildfire V0.20.

Major changes where again made to fractal flames generator T.I.N.A.

• “triangle editing”: improved performance – again: dragging triangles was never so much fun before 🙂
• support for (affine) post transforms
• different random flame generators

As usual click the “Random flames” button to start playing around 🙂

Just released JWildfire V0.19.

Major changes where again made to fractal flames generator T.I.N.A.

• “triangle editing” using the mouse directly on top of the rendered image which is updated in realtime – dragging triangles was never so much fun before 🙂
• improved performance
• automatically appending file extensions and asking before overwriting files

As usual click the “Random flames” button to start playing around 🙂

Just released JWildfire V0.18.

Major changes where made to fractal flames generator T.I.N.A.

• basic “triangle editing”
• major bug fixed (the thumbnail was removed after loading a thumbnail into the main area – of coz only the hint label should be removed LOL)

As usual click the “Random flames” button to start playing around 🙂

Just implemented a kind of basic “triangle editing”. E. g the well known “triangles” (from Apophysis) are now displayed directly on the image panel. You can currently only move, rotate and resize them using the buttons on the right. Later you will able to drag them directly with the mouse, of coz.

Just implemented a simple (linear) flame morphing algorithm into T.I.N.A./JWildfire. It may be combined with the simple animation system. The quality of the results strongly depend on the flames used – but look simply amazing in many cases 🙂
