how to make ES

Thu, 07/09/2009 - 15:08 — Anonymous

I've been a user of ES for about 3 years and love the new version. I have always wanted to participate by creating my own sheep. I am a mac user and have downloaded and tried to play with oxidizer. I have also read many tutorials on how to use oxidizer but haven't found anything that leads me on a step by step process from creating and editing the fractals to animating it and finally posting it to the server.

Does anyone know of such a tutorial, or anything/anyone that might help?

Thanks

Flock animations

I can see the sheep in the "Flock" but I can't seem to get anything to animate. What do I need to do to get them to animate?

No animation

Sadly, you can't produce sheep-style animations in apophysis. What happens is this: you upload the still image, and the sheep server takes a second fractal (if it's an edge) or the same fractal (if it's a loop) and slowly morphs between the two. Apophysis can't do this exactly (that is, between two seperate fractals) but you can use scripts to make some interesting animations; I know there are some scripts out there somewhere (I could probably find it for you of you really want it) that can interpolate between a series of frames, each maybe 1 second apart, that can produce nice results. Unfortunately, you can't make high quality renders, nor save it, as far as I'm aware. Maybe in future versions of apophysis, but not right now. :-(

Oxidizer...

To use Oxidizer to create sheep you simply create a nice genome, save it to disk and upload it to the se rver using the instructions you'll get when joining the genetic design email list. Oxidizer saves all its files in the flam3 xml format that the server expects .

cool, thanks. in order to

cool, thanks.

in order to post the server you have to join the genetic design email list. there's a link about it on the front page of this web site. however due to the server changeover the subscription page is broken and the list is down right now, but if you send me email with a portfolio of your designs i can give you the info directly.

I have joined the list, but

I have joined the list, but it is still unclear where/how to post sheep.

Email

Just send an email to the genetic design list, asking for instructions. There's a certain page, requiring a password, which allows you to upload a .flame or .flam3 file. It'll take the first one in the file if there are multiple Flames. It'll be added to the queue, and should be ready in about a month.
