Neil's right; I was thinking of something different, and it's early in the morning. Silly me. ;P
It would be nice to have an "invert colors" right click command for rendering (it should be mathematically simple as it's just RGB tweaking). But yes, it's easy enough to grab the complementary colors and build a gradient that way. It requires understanding how Chaoscope uses gradients (and how to build a text file for one) and how to get RGB values for colors (and their complements), but none of that is too hard if you have Photoshop (and the color picker tool on a color wheel) and a text editor to look at existing gradients and make your own. (Then load it into Chaoscope.)
Maybe I'll type up a walkthrough later. Taylor

Render as normal, and then take it into Photoshop and invert the colors. That should do it. ;D Sweet work, Sham! I'm a designer too, and have used Chaoscope renders often. It's a sweet way to punch in some interesting shapes. http://z13.invisionfree.com/Peregrine_Design/index.php?showtopic=25 is my latest example. It's not as interesting as some of the stuff you two have produced, but I really love using Chaoscope in design.
