Just released JWildfire V1.50. This time it is a really BIG update, and even more BIG hugs go to my family, which gives me the power to make it possible. :-) There are so many changes in this release, it is hard to name them all. So I just want to introduce my favourite ones: - motion blur for animations - new concept of random-movie-generators - my favourite “hexes” and “crackle”-variations come now with DC-support new camera controls to create really new kind of perspectives/fractals - 5 short tutorials from Noami Richmond which you can find at the official tutorial section Complete list of changes: - there were really lots of changes in the Easy Movie Maker: - new concept of random-movie-generators (which create both random flames and random motion) - new random-movie-generators: - “Rotating Mandelbrots” - “Transforming Duckies” - “Transforming Bubbles” - motion blur, which is enabled by default and can even be used to render interesting/”dynamic” still images - new concept of “morph-types”, the old behaviour is now called MORPH, and there is now a new morph type called FADE which uses layerz to fade one flame into another - added the possibility to replace a movie-part with the current flame in the editor - some new simple scripts - render button for instantly creating a preview-render in high quality - support for upto 12 of global- and xform-scripts - movie ribbon with movie-preview, allows to switch between different movies at any time (same concept as for flames in the main editor) - realtime-preview of animation-scripts in the Easy Movie Maker (you may even change scripts while showing the preview) - dramatically increased the speed of evaluating motion curves - motions in the Easy Movie Maker now respect the FPS setting (rather than calculating the speed by the total number of frames) - removed *_NEG animation-scripts, refactoring of the Easy Movie Maker - additional camera-controls (x-, y- and z-position), this makes it possible to create really “different” images! - new “dc_hexes_wf” variation, which is derived from the well-known “hexes”-variation, but uses Voronoi-distance to apply additional color-information - new “dc_crackle_wf variation, which is derived from the well-known “crackle”-variation, but uses Voronoi-distance to apply additional color-information - new SIDE_BY_SIDE_FULL-preview-mode for stereo3d images (uses larger preview area) - new option to easily swap sides in stereo3d-rendering - 5 new “What does this button do?”-tutorials from Naomi Richmond - 5 new images from Craig Bak for the launcher - improved the layout of the ancient motion-curve-editing-dialog - completely removed SWF-related capabilities from JWildfire, completely - removed all rendering-capabilities from the Easy Movie Maker - support for saving flames with multiple motion-curves for the same -flame-property - realtime-quality is now a floating-point-value. So you have more level of control on very old/slow machines - caption of layerz is now stored/restored correctly - bugfix in the checks variation, can actually produce nice patterns now - fixed a problem regarding the re-saving of movies from older version - stepped back to Java 6 because of problems with Java 7 on the Mac - platform - Just click the “Random flames” button to start playing around and have fun :-) Here is the download-URL: andreas-maschke/?page_id=351
