Ahoy u guise

Here's a late night update for Chaotica 0.74 and about my recent DD!

I was very happy to recently receive a DD for my work "seductress", thanks to Daeurth and SaTaNiA:

This was very surprising but also very reassuring for me, since my "style" of fractal making (writing randomisation generators for my fractal programs) is relatively tedious, and perhaps a little frowned upon

I've still not learnt the fractal design skills real fractal artists use... someday

Anyway, the params for this work are now included with Chaotica in case you'd like to check it out!

About the new Chaotica 0.74 version, the rotation and scaling controls are now finally properly implemented in the world editor, and undo/redo works there too instead of just the main window. These changes alone are worth the new release as they help so much with common editing functionality!

For easier colouring control, the palette editor now shows the location of flam3_shader palette indices. The pre- and post-affines are much easier to see as a pair in the editor (they have the same colour, post-affines drawn with dashed lines); post-affines can be added and removed using the new flam3 transform control in the node editor.

tatasz has done an amazing job with a new Chaotica editor tutorial based on blurred elliptic-splits, and graciously allowed the inclusion of two her great param packs with the Chaotica downloads:

64bit Apophysis plugin DLLs are now supported, you can put them in the provided plugins folder. These have been recently released by Xyrus-02, for more info on this please see his page for the announcement.

The random params are much nicer now, and there are many quiet fixes and improvements behind the scenes... As always I must thank the amazing community for support with bug reports (cheers fractist!), suggestions, plugin packs, tutorials, ...
