![]() ![]() ![]() I was given 'XenoDream' as a present, and I haven't looked back since. I've also had a birthday since updatng here. I now have a substantial collection of fractal and algorithmic music tracks available for free download or streaming at Soundclick. I haven't been idle whilst I've been ill. I've had some 'health issues' to deal with. Okay - it's been a long time since I updated this blog. They now consist entirely of images made in XD. In order to get all the XD images I want to get on site, I have some painful decision making ahead - I have to remove some of the existing images.įor now, the older galleries 1 and 2 have been replaced. So I'm running a little low on server space there. I had hoped at this stage to be able to upgrade it too, but it has not been viable yet to do so. In the mean time, I have renewed my hosting package. The number of images I've done with it (since March), and that are waiting to go on the Fractal Visions site is in the hundreds. This has become my favourite fractal/graphics program of all that I've tried. The last time I posted, I mentioned XenoDream. I haven't posted here for a long time now due to health problems. ![]() ![]() When formula authors write new trap shapes, trap modes or trap colorings and make them available in plug-in library files via the public formula library, you can just drop them into this standard Orbit Traps plug-in to use them.Observations from a fractal novice's notebook It had limited options to color the trap shape, but now that it is available as a general trap shape plug-in, we can combine it with any trap mode or trap coloring.įor example, you can select Angle to Origin 2 as the trap coloring to get an effect that you couldn’t create with the original Gaussian Integer coloring algorithm. The old Gaussian Integer coloring algorithm in Standard.ucl actually is a variation on an orbit trap, just with a different trap shape. Let’s select a different trap shape.Ĭlick the Browse button for the Trap Shape parameter to select the Gaussian Integer plug-in. All trap shapes, for example, are now implemented as separate plug-ins. By default, it loads with the Smooth algorithm.Ĭlick the Browse button for the Coloring Algorithm parameter to select the Orbit Traps plug-in in Standard.ulb.Īs you can see, the Orbit Traps plug-in uses plug-in parameters for all major parameters. Like Plug-In Formula, Plug-In Coloring (Gradient) is a skeleton coloring algorithm that lets a coloring plug-in do the work. Let’s have a look:įirst, use the browser to open the Default parameter set in Examples.upr.Ĭlick the Browse button in the Outside tab of the Layer Properties tool window to select Plug-In Coloring (Gradient) in Standard.ucl. Every major option is now handled by a separate plug-in. In the new version, implemented as a coloring plug-in in Standard.ulb, these are now plug-in parameters. The old Orbit Traps coloring algorithm (still available in Standard.ucl) contained parameters such as trap shape, trap mode and trap coloring, each with a number of options. The Orbit Traps coloring plug-in is an example of this. However, it’s also possible to use plug-ins in a more fine-grained way, exposing all aspects of a formula for maximum flexibility. In the previous example, we saw how a formula plug-in can implement the behavior of an entire fractal formula. Example 2 – Orbit trap plug-ins Tip: This example assumes that you are familiar with Ultra Fractal basics as explained in the tutorials. ![]()
