Hi all,
thanks for your comments!
The Linux/Mac topic has been debated before. The two main reasons why
you'll have to wait until I release the source (and the project becomes
a collaborative project) are:
1) I don't have any experience of Linux/Mac development
2) The code is strongly tied to Windows APIs
Christian's been asking for new equations: Quark is one, it's based on
the "Magnattractor" equation by Dave Bollinger, converted to 3D. You can
read more about it at:
http://www.davebollinger.com/works/magnattractor/
(check the rest of the site, it's full of excellent stuff)
I want to look into 3D Flames, I know it's been done before (see
http://www.imagesavant.com , especially
http://www.imagesavant.com/index7.html for flames) so it's doable. The
thing is, it will have to be implemented *REALLY* well because of the
extreme popularity of flames and Apophysis.
We'll also have a couple of "modifiers", which are parameters common to
all attractors. It's like an extra step to the equation, and may change
its behavior dramatically. I forgot to mention them in the development
update.
I also forgot "infinite rendering", rendering that isn't limited by
iterations or time. It will stop by user intervention (Escape) or if you
forget to pay your electricity bill.
Regards,
Nicolas Desprez
