Never change a winning contest, it is enough time in july!

Great pleading, Helen. It burns under my fingernails, Andreas: It are not the "Apo-people" that vote "Apo-images" into the H20. IMO most people who vote care about the ego of their friends or voting partners, not if they produce flames or fractals, if it are good or bad creations, old fashioned or innovative. Once I saw an artist saying "Please don't vote for me anymore that way". Maybe people who occupy the H20 get so bored with these meaningless IVU so YVME that they tell their fans the same "to get the H20 more accurate". ulli

Well, it isn't possible to vote if you are directly in the H20. And it may not be possible to vote from the ebot email link too. IMO only someone should have the right to vote who scrolls through the thumbs to correct this FALSE IMPRESSION. Thanks, Keith for not resignating. ulli

Thank you for giving me a feeling of success too. And for showing a so much brighter spectrum of fractal beauties than the "H20".

What a cool marketing. Congrats Ladies and a honorable mention for Julia!

Always a pleasure to see through that window! Thank you for choosing mine too.

If it are real friends they deserve a helpful truth especially on bad pictures.

You can open a .flame file in a text editor copy all the text and past it in another .flame file in the same text editor and save it. Then you have the two in one. This one you can open in Apophysis. I hope that was what you wanted to know.

Renderer.Width := 320; Renderer.Height := 240; SetRenderBounds; Flame.SampleDensity := 10; for j := 0 to 99 do // 100 frames, begin for i := 0 to 255 do begin Flame.Gradient[i][0] := Flame.Gradient[(i + 1) mod 256][0]; Flame.Gradient[i][1] := Flame.Gradient[(i + 1) mod 256][1]; Flame.Gradient[i][2] := Flame.Gradient[(i + 1) mod 256][2]; end; for i := 0 to Transforms - 1 do begin SetActiveTransform(i); Rotate(3.6); end; Renderer.Filename := 'c:rendersBMPANI' + Format('%.2d', [j]) + '.bmp'; Render; end; UpdateFlame := False;

{ Rotates the gradient } { Rotates the reference Triangle } { Hit any key to stop } Flame.SampleDensity := 1; while not Stopped do begin RotateReference(3.6); for i := 0 to 255 do begin Flame.Gradient[i][0] := Flame.Gradient[(i + 1) mod 256][0]; Flame.Gradient[i][1] := Flame.Gradient[(i + 1) mod 256][1]; Flame.Gradient[i][2] := Flame.Gradient[(i + 1) mod 256][2]; end; Preview; end;

Thank you very much for making me happy!
Congrats to Rykk and Matt for their great interpretations of the theme. Barb, I work on a new concept for my homepage pic :-))

Hi Nick,

The hot 20 is a great idea. It could be the perfect motivation for me to really give my best.
The hot 20 should be imo a list that shows the newest popular trends of the fractal art. Right now you only can see who has the most friends in RR.

Here some suggestions to improve that:

I also find it a good idea to ONLY let the people vote who scroll through the fractal gallery: it cannot be that someone decides who makes the best picture if he just sees the stuff of his favourite artist!

It should be possible to have 2 or 3 pictures of one artist in the hot 20, because people want stars. But not more then 3 pictures.

Right now it's a bit too complicate to vote. You need two extra clicks to do it. There could be another point in the ranking scroll list above excellent: excellent+vote.
So artists who don't wonna be ranked can't be voted too.

Take care
ulli
