I'd LOVE to see the max-size go thru the roof. More specifically, I'd
love to see an addition that'd render it at whatever size you want,
WITHOUT having to orient it in a disgustingly-gigantic window. It's a
nightmare if you want a specific portion, and not the whole thing.
As for that plasma/solid mix... Photoshop has some INCREDIBLE powers
when you play with how it combines layers (multiply, saturation, hue,
etc). Tweaking it from there, using multiple layers, and erasing small
portions as a last resort gives you some flat out unbelievable effects.
If you don't have Photoshop, I think <a href="http://www.gimp.org";>"The
Gimp"</a> can do the same thing. I haven't used it much though. (I hope
the link up there works... not sure how my email service handles html
code)
And ditto on what both of you said in that last portion :D

Image size is currently limited by the maximum OpenGL viewport size,
which varies from one graphic card model to the other. It's 4096x4096
for most "gaming orientated" high end VPUs.
This is an issue I'm currently working on, more on that in the next
development update.

You've mentioned the solid mode in your next post. What you're
describing is a mix between Plasma and Solid mode, which isn't
technically challenging. It will just be very resource intensive. I'm
convinced it will be a valuable addition, considering what one can
obtain with XenoDream in solid colored mode.

I hope you'll share your creations some time!
