Description EDIT:

The basic design was created in Apo 2.08 beta using my Rototubes script [link] followed by tweaking and some "Chaos Control" scripting experiments. If I can get it to work more predictably, I'll eventually write in a "Chaos Control" module into newer versions of the script.

In the meantime, and as promised, I've submitted a larger and cleaner image of this deviation that reveals some additional detail. This one only took 36 hours to render.

I got this great script and it is working like a dream, so disregard the error message. Not sure why I got the message.

Have you done test cases like these?

ToAPP In reply to deepbluerenegade [2008-10-03 13:00:43 +0000 UTC]

These are really nice Molly! I don't know if you even really have to do much more to these. I didn't know about the filter radius idea that you got from f-l-a-r-k and I may have to give that one a try on some of my older renders. I love the "solidness" that it produces.

A couple of your designs gave me an idea for a new feature - and that is to alter the degree of rotation between the linear transforms. It seems that widening the gap between the tubes can produce some really interesting effects

BTW: I'll probably release an earlier, more basic (sans xaos), version of the "rototubes" script relatively soon since it already produces some decent looking flames (some tweaking required). I have some ideas on how to further experiment with the chaos control parts. Would you be willing to help me with some beta testing?

I might be able to do some beta testing, it depends on how much I need my RAM for other tasks.
22 hours of rendering remain.

I know exactly what you mean! Not to worry...it'll be a while before I'm ready to beta test the revised version. I'll try to get version 1 out today though...

Thanks Patricia! This was done with one a gradient that I made up in ApoMap. If you like it, I can send you the map file

I attached it to a random Apo flame. Just cut and paste it into notepad and put the P back in Palette count and you should be able to paste it into Apo!

I keep getting Line 3: Syntax error. Not sure why.

ToAPP In reply to PatriciaRodelaArtist [2008-10-05 03:00:57 +0000 UTC]

hmm...maybe you need a backslash just before the closing bracket after the 3?

The gradient is coding is all the numbers and letters between the <alette count="256" format="RGB"> and you should be able to copy and paste this into any param file to apply the gradient. I'm not home right now and don't have access to Apo to try it out myself
I'm starting to think that it may actually be worthwhile to put a gradient pack together. I never really got much interest for that in the past though...

Let me know if either of those ideas works though...

Thanks for kudos Kat!

BTW: I have managed to develop some test scripts, but so far nothing I've tried consistently affects the appearance of these rotational designs - so far it's still much hit and miss
