Title: Very Basic Color Maps for Chaoscope Post by: Sockratease on November 26, 2006, 09:52:57 AM Hi.
Don't laugh at the new guy for being self taught! I play a lot with Chaoscope. I like the Gas and Liquid rendering modes, but think the color maps work backwards, so I sort of inverted them. I prefer a black background to a colored one. This is NOT complex stuff. Just switched 2 rows of 3 numbers (the whole of the "map"). The trick was to change at least one of the Zeros to 1's or for some reason the background showed white. If anyone cares, I can post these. They're incredibly basic, but my first customization! Now I can make things like this: (http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m278/sockratease/lump1.jpg) do things like this (http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m278/sockratease/lump2.jpg) Title: Re: Very Basic Color Maps for Chaoscope Post by: heneganj on November 26, 2006, 10:24:22 PM Wow that looks like a crazy version of a Klein Bottle!

I'm enjoying figuring out the format of the simple little text files it uses, but it might be nice to have a "cheat" on hand too. Thanks!
