  • Added loc, polar2, cross, wedge, epispiral, (pre-/post-)bwraps, (pre-/post-)falloff2, blur_circle, blur_zoom, blur_pixelize, splits, separation, bipolar, loonie, escher, scry, ngon, foci, lazysusan, mobius, (pre-/post-)crop, elliptic, waves2, auger, pre_spherical, pre_sinusoidal, pre_disc and post_curl-variations
  • Changed all variations which were in Apophysis before so that they are 3D-aware. This means that all variations PRESERVE the z-position of their points instead of resetting it to zero like before. Your 3D parameters likely need tweaking HOWEVER I added some code in the loader which should automatically "fix" most of the parameters. BE AWARE THAT PARAMETERS SAVED WITH 7X ARE LIKELY TO BE INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE 3D HACK FROM NOW ON!
  • Added a variation search box in the editor
  • Added possibility to specify custom plugin path
  • Added color curves tab in the adjustment window
  • Fixed the multithreaded renderer. It is now safe to enable multithreading in the options. Leave a few threads open, however. If you got a dual-core, leave it at 1; if you got a quad-core, set it to 2-3; and so on.
  • Changed the general buffer depth to 32 bit floating point in the 32 bit version and 64 bit floating point in the 64 bit version to improve numeric accurancy and speed (less conversion)
  • Removed the EXIF-writing for JPEG-renders (couldn't find up-to-date and free library)
  • Introduced an experimental 64 bit version with no plugin support (which is why I added so many variations) and no scripting support as of now (waiting for TMS Software to add 64 bit support to Scripter Studio)
  • Fixed the editor toolbar glitch
  • Fixed MT renderer not recognizing the transform opacity value
  • Updated string handling to UTF-8 encoding
  • Removed the T-500 version and the separate executable for the lite-version. You can run the lite version with the command-line switch "-lite" now
  • Fixed DPI glitches in "Export UPR", "Gradient Browser" and "Message Log" windows.
  • Fixed a bug which made it impossible to render in slices due to "Out of Memory" errors.
  • Fixed a bug which caused wrong thumbnails after deleting a flame from the list to the left in the main window.
  • Updated Chaotica integration. Only versions since V0.45 of Chaotica are supported now. Directory structure is significant.
  • Added optional editor background preview. It is off by default. When on, the mini preview in the editor is replaced by the flame drawn on the background.
  • All buffer depths except 32 bit integer have been removed. A proper 64 bit-renderer shall be re-introduced in V16 where the only number type will be float.
  • Fixed a bug which caused improper listing of used variations from the final transform in the "Summarize flame" feature and the variation enumeration for Chaotica.
  • Added a link to Tara Roys' Apophysis manual in the help menu.
