Apophysis 7X 15C - Hotfixes #5!Aaaand another hotfix release. This time, these problems were addressed:Apophysis 7X 15C - Hotfixes #5! in Personal More Like This
+ Fixed bwraps, pre_bwraps and post_bwraps (potential division by zero) - thanks again, Fred!
+ Added localization support for the curves panel
+ Changed the flame and translation loading/saving code to support and use UTF8 encoding
+ Updated german localization
+ Updated italian localization (with the help of the great `lindelokse - thanks!)
You can get the updated localizations from apophysis.xyrus-worx.org. The binary/source downloads are here (and also on the homepage):

Apophysis 7X 15C - Hotfixes #3Two things changed:Apophysis 7X 15C - Hotfixes #3 in Personal More Like This
+ Added color curves dialog
+ Fixed plugin recognition routines. Variations, which were already built-in were loaded anyway which lead to an "Access Violation" storm in the editor. Thanks again ~morphapoph for tracking the origin of the problem in such a masterful way!
The color curves dialog is very simple and straight forward. Works like the one in Photoshop. Or Chaotica. Or GIMP...and it's not perfect. It's a new feature and maybe a bit bugged. But we'll see how much better it gets over time

Apophysis 7X 15C - Hotfixes #8!To excuse myself from the artificial hoax from earlier, I have a hotfix release for 15C for youApophysis 7X 15C - Hotfixes #8! in Personal More Like ThisHere the changes:
+ Fixed two strings regarding the Chaotica integration. They were always english. The language files have been adjusted accordingly.
+ Fixed the "dot"-bug with the waves2-, noise- and crop-variations (and possibly more) occuring when you use multithreaded rendering. The origin was a structural misconception with the opacity handling. It now works smooth & fine! No corrupted renders in my own tests. If you have some after this release, please report!
+ Added file type registration scripts in the portable (ZIP)-package

Poll summary: Installer or ZIP-packageI recently raised the poll "Installer or ZIP-package?" here. Now it's time to take a summary out of the answers!Poll summary: Installer or ZIP-package in Personal More Like This
I noticed that some of you wanted to answer "both" but that was not the questionThe results were kind of equal. 52% of you are using an installer, the rest is using the ZIP-package. So my conclusion here is that the installer needs to come back.
And it will.
However, plugins will not be installed on your system with the installer anymore. That out of three reasons:
+ Apophysis 7x64 doesn't support them
+ The plugin path is customizable
+ The amount plugins being integrated in the installer before is now integrated in Apophysis itself
Now you need to give me some time to get the installer creation software back up and then I'll compose an installer for you
Apophysis 7X 15C - Hotfixes #4!Oh mai, it seems that Apophysis 7X jumped on some kind of rapid-release scheduleApophysis 7X 15C - Hotfixes #4! in Personal More Like This
You kept reporting problems which I of course want to straighten out. This time, mostly about the newly introduced curves feature. I'm pushing updates on a daily basis - when possible - until they are kind of sorted out. At least the critical ones. Here is hotfix #4!
+ Changed color curves feature to use regular cubic béziér splines. They are weighted internally still but you can't change it from the GUI (which is not really necessary anyway...) ... it's kind of a hack, though, to bring you back the original coloring (not so vibrant and glary) but keep the possibility to adjust the color curves. I want to keep the weights - this is why I didn't remove them but it gives me a bit of time to fixing the maths!
+ Moved the curves window into the adjust window
+ Fixed the plugin loader code AGAIN to have the original list item coloring in the 32 bit version (white for basic built-in, blue for bu
A few common Apo7X15C problems and their fixesI get an error about Apophysis7X.rand and/or Apophysis.undo when I start ApophysisA few common Apo7X15C problems and their fixes in Personal More Like This
It's a Vista/7-issue which spawned after using Delphi XE2 as the main compiler (since 15C) You have multiple possibilities:
1. Right click the Apophysis shortcut or EXE-file and select "Properties". Go to the "Compatibility" tab and check "Run as administrator". Try again.
2. Copy your Apophysis folder to the desktop (or "My Documents") and try running it from that location.
3. Go to the control panel and disable UAC ("User account control")
A permanent fix is on the way.
I get a crap ton of access violations when I open Apophysis and/or the Editor window
My assumption is that there is an incompatibility in your settings. Reset them the following way:
1. Exit Apo, hold the Windows-Key and hit "R" on your keyboard. Enter "regedit" and hit return.
2. On the left side, browse to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software" and find the folder "Apophysis 7X".
3. Right click that folder and click "Delete".
4. T
Apophysis 7X 15C - Installer available nowI have made an installer for Apophysis 7X 15C available at xyrus-worx.orgApophysis 7X 15C - Installer available now in Personal More Like This
Please be aware that this installer is for Microsoft Windows only. It comes in two versions: for the 32 bit and the 64 bit version of Apophysis 7X 15C. The two versions can be installed side-by-side. Even in a single folder (but be careful - you might not want to uninstall the 32 bit version if you have the 64 bit version in the same folder so I recommend keeping the folders separate)
Unlike for the ZIP-package, 32- and 64 bit version do not come in a single file!
Currently, the german, italian and chinese language packs are shipped with the installer. The other language packs are outdated and for the vanilla version 7x15 only.
The 32 bit-installer offers you to install a collection of DC-plugins as well as two sample scripts. Please mind that upon uninstallation, these plugin .DLL-files will be removed even if they were there before. This also app

Apophysis 7x64 almost done! But......there is a downer!Apophysis 7x64 almost done! But... in Personal More Like This
I was using Delphi XE2 to compile all this. It's the first and only Delphi compiler with 64 bit support. Now, I realized I had to upgrade the TMS Scripter Studio component which enables scripting for you guys (I was using the ancient version I purchased for Delphi 7 yeaaaars back) Problem: I don't have the €€€ for it (EUR 95) and I have to rely on crowd funding to bring you scripting in Apophysis 7x15C (32 and 64 bit)
I already got rid of a few other components (design-time XMLScanner for example) but unfortunately, the TMS is not really replaceable. And it's expensive. I don't want to cut out scripting. I already had to take out the EXIF-writing from the render window but I think there is only one person who really uses that...it's more a decorative thing - you won't miss it. Scripting, however is essential, I would guess. Sucks that it's been built on top of a commercial component in the first days of Apophysis!
If you want to keep scripting in fu
Mouse editing fun: JWildfire V0.59 releaseThis time the new release has not really a lot of new features… but one new striking one: the long awaited view editing mode is now availableMouse editing fun: JWildfire V0.59 release in Personal More Like ThisYou can now just drag, rotate and zoom your fractal the way it should have been working from the first day
This mode is now the default editing mode, it works as follows:
- left mouse button: drag the fractal ("CentreX" and "CentreY")
- right mouse button: rotate ("Roll") the fractal
- middle mouse button/mouse wheel: zoom ("Pixels per unit") the fractal
Complete list of changes:
- new interactive view editing mode (move, rotate, zoom)
- color and color symmetry does also affect the new fract_* family of variations
- lots of internal refactoring regarding the dancing flames editor (does not affect current state of features but makes it more easy to add new features soon)
Just click the "Random flames" button to start playing around and have fun
You can download the new version at the projects web page: http://www.andreas-maschke.com/?

Major additions where made to fractal flame editor regarding to controlling image quality at the artist level. There is now an antialiasing option which you can specify at the transform level and some additional powerful gradient manipulation tools.
Complete list of changes:
- new antialising option on the transform level, you can control this by two parameters: amount (how many samples are affected by this effect) and radius (how strong is the antialasing effect)
- new gradient manipulation functions: invert and reverse gradient
- new gradient manipulation properties: blur and frequency
- changed the layout of the main toolbar so that it better resizes according to different screen resolutions

Plugin fun: JWildfire V0.52 releaseJust released JWildfire V0.52 after a rather long time.Plugin fun: JWildfire V0.52 release in Personal More Like This
I had started to create an alternative external renderer (specialized to render movies more quickly) in the meantime. This release is something like an "intermediate release". It has lots of internal optimizations, many new plugins to play with and some bugs fixed. But the new renderer is not yet included because this would have been just to much work in this time period.
So this release contains many smaller enhancements and you may look forward for the upcoming V0.53 which will bring up some really new stuff

JWildfire with interactive renderer: V0.43 releaseJust released JWildfire V0.43.JWildfire with interactive renderer: V0.43 release in Personal More Like This
Major changes where made to the fractal flames generator T.I.N.A. - this time with a complete new feature – the interactive renderer. The interactive renderer serves two purposes:
1. Explore random fractals in a really funny way. You can now follow the rendering of a fractal. If you have seen enough just press the NEXT button to get a new randomly generated flame. If you like it you can save it or copy it to the clipboard to tweak it in the main editor. Of course, you can load or paste any (non random) fractal into the interactive renderer.
2. WYSIWYG: Render an image until you are satisfied. Here is no oversampling applied. You can save the image all the time while it still rendering. So you can have a closer look at it to see if its really done, e.g. in a image processing software.
Complete list of changes:
- First "complete" and working version of the interactive renderer
- FIXED: filter radius was always set to high in rendering

With ReciprocalX,Y,Z functions you can get very awesome variations on IFS formulas, the only problem was that the DE was a lot inaccurate! Particularly in the Navi, the fractal never showed up correctly.
More, the only rotations allowed were multiple of 90°, to keep discontinuities horizontal / vertical...
I solved this annoying problem with reciprocalX3, Y3, Z3 - three new functions! Try them and you will be very surprised.
Even rotations are possible without annoying random cut-planes!
A must try imo. Needless to say; reciprocalX3 is completely different from reciprocalX2 ... There is no way to "convert" them too bad. You must study new parameters!

What's new in the 1.7.9.6 test version:
A rather spiffy looking new interface and, in Jesse's own words:
"Some beta testing is needed because of compiler upgrading;
the changes belong to the internal light model, more options
for the diffuse map, panorama camera mode, stereo options.
Some issues should be solved, many new ones to find!
It is just the executable, you can take all directories with files
from the previous version - v1.7.9.3 - if you need them, or adjust
the ini-dirs to the existing ones.
Note: the new stereo options must be used from the same starting
parameters to work properly, I will change this for easier handling.
For now you have to undo the parameters or reload default ones".
Please bear in mind that this is just the executable, so if you are

trap coloring or diffuse lightmaps.
- DEAO works more or less with inside renderings.

news & DOUBLE FEATURE!!!Hello all my friends and watchers... this week I am taking a break from my normal plan to feature each of the donors who contributed to my pool and enabled me to get my premium membership back, but rest assured, I will continue that process next week.news & DOUBLE FEATURE!!! in Personal More Like This
In the meantime, I have a couple news items, and a special double feature this week.
In the news, as most you may have already heard, Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon died this past week... a very sad thing indeed. To find links to news articles about this, please visit the journal of :iconskyzyk: as Gary posted links to NASA and other articles about this sad topic.
You may or may not have heard, and perhaps do not care to know that the Actress/Comedienne Phyllis Diller also passed away this past week... some of you are probably too young to really be aware of Ms. Diller, I would bet some of are really too young to know much about Mr. Armstrong... but still its very sad news.
In a more joyous vein... I sold a p
Funny how things have(n't) changed...I was listening to some old Genesis music tonight, after looking up links for "the carpet crawlers" http://fraterchaos.deviantart.com/art/the-carpet-crawlers-293221648 and then began listening to a remastered version of their wonderful (perhaps their best) LP "Foxtrot" on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yS0WS9mM7YM&feature=related which I would highly recommend listening to...Funny how things have(n't) changed... in Personal More Like This
Anyway, I happened to listen to the song "Get 'Em Out By Friday" and was struck by how oddly the lyrics tied into things that are actually happening in the world today... sure, the lyrics at the end of the song go a little further than anyone has gone so far, but honestly, it wouldn't surprise me even a little...
So, just to show what I'm alluding to, here are the lyrics... after reading them, think about the recent housing crises, and about all the wonderful things the Repugnant Party is doing to the lower and middle classes in America lately...

more updatesOk, you might be wondering what is going on, as all my art suddenly went into storage....more updates in Personal More Like This
Well, i just found out from a friend (who shall remain nameless at their own request) informed me a multiple other places my art is being displayed, don't know if its stolen or linked, and at this point, I'm too frustrated to really care.
So I decided I have only two alternatives, remove all art from dA, and delete my account, or make an ugly border that states clearly that using my art anywhere else is a violation of copyright, and hope that discourages most of the thieves. So until i can redo every single deviation, they have to remain in storage. I'll re-add each as i get the borders added.
I'm getting really frustrated by all this. Almost beginning to wish they had passed SOPA... not that that would likely help anyone like me... all that piece of crap would do was help huge corporations that already have more money than they need... us little guys would probably still be left to fend for ourse

http://www.multichannel.com/article/479329-DOJ_Hands_Down_Charges_to_Seven_People_Two_Corporations_Connected_With_Megaupload.php?rssid=20527
Today, the US Department of Justice has taken down the New Zealand company MegaUploads on charges of distributing copyrighted materials.
One has to ask, since when does the US DoJ have jurisdiction in NZ?
But even more importantly, if they can do this, what the HELL so we need SOPA/PIPA for?
In other news, this is unsubstantiated at present, but I saw some posts on G+ stating that a group known as "Hactivists" have taken their own action:
"Hacktivists with the collective Anonymous are waging an attack on the website for the White House after successfully breaking the sites for the Department of Justice, Universal Music Group, RIAA and Motion Picture Association of America.

Well, I want to assure all my watchers that they need have no fear... I will NOT be changing my name. (Ok, granted, I can't right now anyway, since I don't have a premium account now... but)
I am fraterchaos... my email on yahoo, is fraterchaos, my ID here has always been fraterchaos, if you do a google search for fraterchaos, pretty much everything that comes up will be me... that's MY name, its always been my name.
My Zazzle Store is fraterchaos, my Shadowness account... fraterchaos...about the only thing I have that i use regularly, that isn't fraterchaos is my gmail, and they would not allow me to use that name for some reason... so its a.random.chaos, which is one of my pen names.
So, no, I am not going to change my name... if I need a more professional name at some point in the future, I'll start a new account with the new, more professional name... but fraterchaos will always be here... its pretty much who I am, more than any other name

Well, ok, so as you might have guessed, it seems (or I hope anyway) that the jerk has finally stopped stealing my work. I won't say he's stopped stealing from dA altogether, because its my guess he hasn't.
In fact, I would suggest that all fractal artists, or anyone who does anything that might appeal in any way to "new age" religious nuts, keep an eye on the Galactic Free Press and related websites, because its likely they will steal your work sooner or later.
Also, be aware that another deviant, one l9qw is also involved in this whole mess, he, she or it has a website that is a part of the whole soundofheart web ring (or whatever one wants to call that mess) and spouts the same mindless new age crap. AND of course, is also stealing art from dA, and making exactly the same sort of crap excuses and apologies and saying

I have a couple things to talk about, but luckily for you all I don't think I've got any long involved rants this week...
One: a word of warning, but first a bit of history... People who simply use their computers would probably call me an uber-geek, while people who actually understand and can write programs themselves would say I know very little... and I would agree. I do know my way around Windows fairly well, and can use Linux as well, and I even understand some of the internals in Windows and can usually figure out and fix things that go wrong on my own machine and those of my friends (I have one friend that has a BA degree in Computer Science... and he calls me when ever he has problems)

Development Of Apophysis 3Hello fellow fractalist.Development Of Apophysis 3 in Personal More Like This
It's been a long time since the official Apophysis was released. The latest official released was Apophysis 2.09 in the year of 2009. Since then, Official Apophysis developer was on a vacum and the development of Apophysis was taken over by `XyrusWorx with his Apophysis7x. It has many feature that original Apo didn't have, such as integration with chaotica, and many bug fixes and tweaks.
But now, the development of the new official Apophysis will be start again with the come back of one of its developer, ~utak3r. It will be a brand new Apophysis 3!
So, go to ~utak3r's journal and give him your idea about how the brand new Apophysis 3 should look like.
go go go go!

Getting started
Where do I get Apophysis? Is it expensive?
Apophysis is free, open-source software. That means, it does not cost you a cent. In addition, everyone is able to change the software using
the available source code. This is also why there are different
versions of Apophysis:
Apophysis 2.x
The "official" or "main" version of Apophysis. You can download it from Apophysis.org
Apophysis 2.08 3D
The original Apophysis 3D hack. You can download it from Sourceforge.net (where you can also get newer beta versions of Apophysis 2.x)
