Making crossovers.

Fri, 08/21/2009 - 14:23 — sheikhyerbouti

One of the things I really like about Oxidizer is that you can see the results of a crossover with very little fuss.

Unfortunately, I'm on a PC.

I've done my hunting online for Apophysis scripts, but have come up nil. Does anyone know of a way to make crossover flames in Apophysis a la Oxidizer? Or am I stuck with bruiting it out in the command line? (Alternatively, is there a way to get Oxidizer to run in Windows?)

Thanks again.

Hi sheik

Not 100% positive but this might also be an alternative ---> http://www.virtualbox.org/

EDIT:: Scratch that my friend. Macs apparently are not listed as able to be guests in VirtualBox. All apologies. Still Virtualbox rocks. I sometimes mess with linux distros with it. great fun.

crossover with flam3

It's really not difficult to create the genomes for an edge (or crossover). You'll need a file with two flames in it, and they must be contained in some arbitrary xml tag so that it's a valid xml file. We will use flam3-genome to generate a rotating morph sequence of 160 frames:

set sequence=twoflames.flame

set nframes=160

set loops=0

flam3-render.exe > twoflamecross.flame

Then open the new flame file with apophysis, and you're done. The biggest problem with this is how some parameters are defined as integers in Apo but they are floating point in flam3 - so there may be an error on reading them in from the file. Feel free to ask more about this, I'm happy to help.
