Title: New program for generating Flames Post by: paxinum on July 19, 2010, 01:50:15 PM I am currently developing a Flame fractal program in Java. The basic algorithm is implemented as in Apophysis, and I am currently working a bit on the GUI.
Since it is Java, changes can be made quite easily, so i am curious about what features fractal artists are interested in. I already have: * Gamma, Brighness, Vibrancy, and of course a dial for quality (that is number of iterations). * A lot of standard variations. * Same variation can be used multiple times in an XForm, with different parameters. * Posttransform (which will be called a (specified) fixed number of times, not just once) * A file format that can easily be edited by hand. ** Simple scripting can be done by randomly choosing a number in an interval, instead of a specific number: Example -scale frand(0.2 , 1.2 ) scales he current transform a random amount between 0.2 and 1.2. * By calling such script n times, one can create a batch of size n. What of the following features are most important? * Linear-3d and 3d variations. * Advanced scripting capabilities. * Batch generating from within the program. * Transparent background. * Graphic interface for the triangles * Compatibility with Apophysis file format. * Camera * Other features I have not mentioned.

My Fractal Generator is also implemented in Java. http://www.wackerart.de/fractal.html Hermann |
