Thanks T! It seems like the link is down for the moment but I have already bookmarked the site from a previous visit there. In fact, I think that’s where I downloaded Datagram’s Advanced Scripting Manual from if I’m not mistaken. I don’t mind verbose as long as it’s clear and concise verbose that I’m able to understand and follow LOL. After searching the Internet I was beginning to feel sure that it was a massive coverup conspiracy so that only a handful could be the prevailing masters of the program grin. Heresy I say…LOL!

 

Now that I have you here Tracey, I’ve been wrestling with the problem of obtaining well-defined, sharp flames. I’ve found that replicating certain transforms and leaving them in exactly the same space that they generally become slightly better defined while others I find that scaling down the replicas also help to sharpen them but not nearly as crystal clear as I have seen in other’s work. 

Joel Faber’s work for instance often seems as if he had drawn the flames by hand then scanned them into the computer and post-worked it into magnificence, really awesome stuff. but I wonder if there is a process that should be followed to obtain the sharpest, clearest renders?

 

Another thing that eludes me is how to correct the situation when I run a script and all that is left on the display is, for lack of a better term, a singularity. A single simple point that with no matter how much reset location clicking will not magnify into it’s full glory. Both Technica Julian and Technica Juliascope are amongst the several scripts that do this to me. Any solutions to this dilemma that you know of?

 

If it seems to you like I’m asking too many questions it is precisely because I feel like a two-year-old trying to learn his new environment: what’s this...what’s this...what’s that? LOL...Talk about verbose? Again, thanks in advance.
