Description
Apophysis JKTook a long break from making fractals but am now back at it a bit. A new take on Mobius.
Been trying out Apo 7x some but having trouble with it saving my final transforms with windows 7 64bit. Also even though it says put plugins in plugin folder they are not showing when program opens in list of variation?

Wow, the clarity in those spirals are absolutely amazing! The colors are very nice as well!
Apo 7x (64-bit) does not support any of the 32-bit compiled plugins (which is pretty much /every/ plugin). You will need to use a 32-bit build of 7x to use plugins. I personally use 15b for 32-bit and 15c for 64-bit (64bit is faster, and if you're only using native plugins, then it's worth using!).

Thanks! And thanks for 7x info too. I did click on the 32 bit exe instead of the 64 bit exe but that did not load plugin also that were said to work on apo 7 read me file? Still a little confused about this version of Apophysis.

Not all 7x versions may have this option, but it's worth trying:
Go to 'tools->settings->environment' and make sure the plugin folder location is where it should be. I remember having an issue with plugins not loading myself and it's because Apo wasn't using the plugin folder it was supposed to be using -_-;

Very nice shape!
There was a bug concerning final xforms, but if you're doing 2D fractals 7x15B works. And I think plugins don't work in the 64-bit version.

I guess the final transform bug is still there messing with a pretty cool version of Apo. It is too bad it makes it almost totally unusable.

i am still dying to get you to use chaotica, you wouldn't believe how much further along it is now!

Hey Lyc! I finally got a new computer that is fast enough etc. to run 64 bit with extended ram amounts using windows 7 pro. I would try your latest version on that. I was wishing there was a plugin feature for that but I remember some issue for that not happening. So many times the variations I use are rare ones, some experimental I do not want to bother anyone with till useful and working.

don't you worry, plugins are working fine and chaotica will put your computer to good use for fun, you should try rendering images with multithreading on and off with apo, completely different results
even the single threaded implementation is inconsistent/wrong, as i've confirmed with ~Zueuk in #Aposhack
please send me a mail (to thomas.ludwig@gmail.com) with your current email address if you'd like to get in touch, i'd appreciate it!

I set both apojk and apo7 to no threads, 4 threads and 8 threads and it cuts render times in half from 4 to 8 threads so that is helping alot. I imagine chaotica is using threads more efficiently than apo. Will send you an email. Good to hear about the plugins working in chaotica.

it is definitely using them more efficiently, but the point i wanted to make is that apophysis is getting it completely wrong in all circumstances so the speed is in a sense irrelevant... it's a crucial point i'd like to convey, which you can test to see for yourself
