Title: Unmatched animation fun: JWildfire V0.66 release
Post by: thargor6 on March 09, 2013, 12:51:41 AM
Just released JWildfire V0.66.

This time I’m proud to present two major new features:
 - There is a new shading mode called “distance-coloring”. It offers 9 parameters which may all combined together to have endless hours of fun and to produce refreshingly new looking results!
 - I now implemented my concept of “envelopes” (which I originally developed some decade ago for the Amiga version Wildfire7\PPC ) in the dancing flame module. It allows you to just draw  a “motion curve” for any property of a flame (amplitude over time.)

Complete list of changes:
 - new “spline”-type of motion in the dancing flames module
 - spline editor allowing three types of interpolation: spline, bezier and linear
 - grouping of motions by specifying a parent in the dancing flames module
 - new “distance-color”-shading for really refreshingly new looking renders!
 - new button for simplified creation of “linked transforms”
 - some new variations invented by gossamer light:  pre_disc3d, pre_sinusoidal3d, svf, sinusoidal3d and taurus
 - new parameter avgSize for enabling a smoothing effect to FFTMotions in the dancing flames module
 - added a “Included Variations” link to the intro window, which points to a list of all variations and their parameters, this list was created and provided by Don Town, thanks!
 - gradient and shading options can now also accessed in the dancing flames module
 - improved the performance of the Mersenne Twister random number generator
 - FIXED: a bug regarding resuming the render state (loading failed)

Best regards and have fun :-)
