quadrium | flame is an application allows you to create and animate "flame fractals". It combines a wide variety of mathematic transformations (going well beyond traditional techniques to include such things as strange attractors) with an interface designed to let you easily explore the vast realm of possible images, allowing you to literally "grow" you image. You don't need an advanced degree in math to be able to create rich and fascinating images, suitable for websites, presentation backgrounds, cards, CD covers, brochures, or fine art prints. You can even create animations,
What's New
Version 1.3:
This release of quadrium | flame is designed to address several minor Leopard issues, but does not provide any Leopard specific features. It does fix several bugs:
- Crashing when navigating through view or mutation history
- Improper exporting of "with alpha" files (though it doesn't help when different apps treat alpha in TIFF files in different ways, so this may still have some tweaking to go)
- It also enhances the "transfer mode" for HDR1 files (so you can better compose images on the colored background).
- There is one major new feature - a new gradient editor which includes the ability to manipulate multiple colors stops, drag & drop to rearrange them (as well as drag & drop to insert a second gradient into the middle of one, or to drag and drop a color from the color panel to add a new color stop), more controls to change and adjust the gradient, including blending/tinting of a secondary color.
Note that this is still a beta, and there may be problems - use at your own risk.
