Quote ... You might have noticed that version 2.04-beta has some problems with memory-limited rendering... That's why we wanted to release some "2.04 beta 2" version, but... Seems like no one of the developers had any free time, so it was delayed
Now, when I (finally) have some time, releasing just a "fixed 2.04" doesn't sound so good to me - because I got some interesting new code here... Which will allow you to use up to 2 times less RAM for rendering!!!
This means that:
- when rendering in slices, you'll get your renders done MUCH faster,
- and you won't have to buy more RAM to render big sizes :D
The new code is being tested now, I can't say how much time it'll take... but if I start to work on something
Neat - Thanks Sir Barrelmaker! I always have to use slices and my laptop is really prone to probs because of the heat - it can just about manage a 1-hour-render =/
Sounds great! The 2.04 BETA was doing some strange things to me. Like just randomly mixing up all of my saved parameters...and that's a lot of mixing. LOL
I could wile away the hours
Conferrin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain
And my head I'd be scratchin'
While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain
Actually it was Lauren! I don't recall what I did exactly. I just remember trying to change something in a flame, viewing my render window, when all of a sudden every flame I ever saved started showing in the render window. LOL! I had to hit ctrl alt del to shut Apop down. After reopening it I realized it had jumbled almost single parameter. Nothing is in order. Kinda makes it difficult to find and reopen any saved flames..=[
Are you having any other problems with the beta version Larry ? The reason I ask is my friend Ginny, live2b on DA, is having huge problems with it & is talking about taking it off her system & re-installing it. She's lost all her saved gradients as well, including the ones she's done herself. It's really messed everything up.
Other than having it shut down my computer in the middle of burning a flame? I'm not certain if it's Apop (the beta) causing the problem or not. I can't think of anything else at the moment.
I haven't used Apop in a while, but I've had stuff like that happening - even other programs sometimes give trouble. It never happened in the winter, so it's most likely the summer heat - my computer shuts down in like 15 mins unless the mini-fan or AC is on.
I haven't had many problems with Apophysis 2.04, but it has locked up a couple of times and I have lost flames that I worked really hard on and didn't save the parameters (though that was my bad).
For those of you interested in Utak3r's Apophysis Scripts .. He announces that they are no longer available on Deviant Art (for some reason) ... they are now available on his own site -------> HERE
Picture Purrrfect .
A purrrfect world is what we all want, but, seems too unobtainable. If I've viewed and commented on your post, and you liked my remarks then NO THANKS is needed...just getting to see your wonderful work is thanks enough for me!!
Also BIG thanks to all who check out my work!! I appreciate any and all comments & feedback!!

I thought I would make an effort to keep folks up to date on any relevant Apo news .. including any test images that look interesting
since folks like Andrew are content to say .. "YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" .. and keep the info to themselves
