Fractal Fr0st

render animation

Asked by alecJ

I have a for loop that changes aspects of a flame I haven't used any functions just a for loop in the editor; how would I go about sending all the iterations to the list of flames on the left?

also finalxform doesn't rotate with the rest of my flame is there a way I can add it to flame.xform?

First, finalxform doesn't rotate with the rest of the flame because that would rotate the entire image. You could simulate this by incrementing the rotation of the camera. Since the final xform is a final step to the iteration process, the only way you could add it to the list of regular xforms is by using chaos and opacity. Add the final xform as a standard xform. Set all other xforms to have opacity 0 and set the chaos coefs to all zeros except the one that points to the last xform. Your new 'final' xform will need to have color_speed set to 0 probably. The new final's chaos should be 0 for itself, 1 for all of the others.

As far as the for loop issue. take a look at some of the batch scripts that come with fr0st. I think the save_flames() method is what you're looking for - it'll put the results in a file and then that file will open.

Cheers worked it out. I didn't have the arguments right for save_flames all good now
