The Official JWildfire Blog

Just released JWildfire V0.33.

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

• customWF variation with integrated compiler which allows it to create your own variations on the fly!
• “linear” random flame generator
• much faster preview rendering (and changed triangle layout)
• renamed all “t_*”-variations into “*_wf”, e. g. “t_rose” -> “rose_wf” (parameters from old flame files are recognized)
• flame name alias system (allowing to read outdated flame files after variations have been renamed)
• spirograph variation by Jed Kelsey
• ported the Soft Julian Script by AsaLegault as example for the script processor
• special build for jdk1.5 (which is slower and uses another default theme)

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

Just released JWildfire V0.32.

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

• basic scripting features which allows to create Java programs to create/modify flames!
• new variations:
• mandelbrot variation by Jed Kelsey
• crackle and hexes variations made by slobo777
• experimental t-bubble variation (complete bubble in both z directions)
• new prefs option for realtime render quality (defaults to 1)
• lots of internal refactoring concerning multithreading and performance

Have fun and a Happy New Year! 🙂

Added a new page describing the new “blur shading” option.

Just released JWildfire V0.31.

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

• experimental fast sin()/cos()/tan() approximations which give a major performance boost (32.5->21.8s for the reference image)
• (pre-)(post-)circlecrop variation (originally done by Xyrus02)
• (pre-)(post-)crop variation (originally done by Xyrus02)
• some tweaks to the experimental gnarl generator
• experimental blur shader
• FIXED: errors concerning updating the ui sometimes cancelled an image generated by the batch renderer
• FIXED: flame pixels per unit setting was sometimes calculated wrong for loaded flames
• lots of (internal) refactoring
