FLAM3 for SideFX Houdini v0.9.0

Houdini 19.x only

• Added pre variations. ( non parametrics for now )
• XAOS now has a better sampling.
• Compiled the few remaining wrangles into CVEX so now the tool is self contained.
• Swapped VOPs nodes for the new wrangle core node. Feel more solid and modern in a way.
• UI got a little lifting.
• Code optimizations.

FLAM3 for SideFX Houdini v0.8.9b

Houdini 19.x only

• Fixed a bug introduced with the preview release where the Alpha value was coming out wrong if XAOS was used.
• XAOS now has its own field. You can still use it as an extra description note if you like so.
• Slightly faster.

FLAM3 for SideFX Houdini v0.8.8

Houdini v19.x only

• XAOS is now automatically active only when used. ( before it was always active)
• As a result of the above, when not using XAOS it will be ~15/20% faster.
• Variation's functions are now living in their own header file.

FLAM3 for SideFX Houdini v0.8.7 H19.x

Houdini v19.x only

• Added a first try of XAOS. Read the HDA documentation to learn how to use it within the tool UI.

FLAM3 for SideFX Houdini v0.8.6

• Color speed can now be a negative value too.
• Added color opacity, this allow to build simple but proper fractal flame containers.

FLAM3 for SideFX Houdini v0.8.5

• A bit faster ( ~5% on average. H19.x version being the faster )
• Improved HDA help/documentation.
• Added rotation parameter inside post affine as well.
• Final Flame post variation now has its own set of parameters and Tab for parametric variations.
• Please, use the new provided Presets files. They have more examples and are rebuilt using this version new UI.
• Removed symmetry global pivot parameter.
• Removed TMG translation parameter.
• Code clean up and improvements.

FLAM3 for SideFX Houdini v0.8.0

• Added rotation parameter inside iterators affine tab. This help when editing the fractal flame.
• The rotation will take the values of X, Y, O and apply a rotation. Note that the resulting affine coefficients are not updated in the UI but passed directly internally to the algorithm so that if you are copying values from Apophysis, then the rotation must be set to ZERO to match or you will apply a double transformation otherwise.
• Attribute @pscale now default to a value of 0.001.
• Now if an iterators weight is set to ZERO it will be considered disabled.
• Little code cleanup there and there.

FLAM3 for SideFX Houdini v0.7.9

• ~10/20% faster (depending on hardware).
• Conformed UI with new H19 parameters look.
• This is a Houdini 19.x only version. SideFX have made some big updates to the vcc compiler and the results shows!

Included the v0.7.8 for Houdini 18.x, just in case

FLAM3 for SideFX Houdini v0.7.8b

• Added POST Variation to Final Flame transform.
• ~40% faster first node instance creation time.
• ~5% faster overall.
• Added new presets file

FLAM3 for SideFX Houdini v0.7.7c3

Removed some leftover variables from variation.h and fixed an else statement inside genome.h
