Main framework changes: * Unlinked Transforms 3 and 4 from each other - the checker pattern is now replicated in one direction or the other. This allows these linear transforms to be used for colouring.
<3 I want to ride your checkered roller-coaster into the stars! (The gradient here is perfect for your concept). - Monday night... meteor shower; can't wait!
As always your fractal work is amazing!!!! I have been slowly working my way through about 4000 deviant watch images that collected while I was gone from here, down 2500 left to go but not really taking time to comment usually. but I wanted to let you know I downloaded some new plugins I found by you in there and they look marvelous. Can't wait till I get a version of apo working a bit smoother to try them out. Apo7 works but there is either floating point errors in older versions or plugins not working in the latest. All my old apo versions freezing now when I open option window, that's not happening on apo7 so a bit frustrated at the moment. Been uploading a few oldies while I try to figure it all out. 64 bit plugins work in the new apo7 but not any of the old plugins in the 32 bit version. There needs to be a new effort to update plugins to 64 bit and maybe I can start contributing to that once I get some other things done on my new computer. Hope your New Year is off to a great start!!
Hopefully yu will get a 64bit machine before long. Finally got a new machine after years with my old clunker. That is why I stopped doing fractals for about 9 months because I couldn't handle the frustrating slowness any more. You have an eseries too, that's awesome. I take it that is eliptical series. Really looking forward to trying all those out. I think the 64 bit would be mostly helpfull for me only at the point of doing giant renders that take over 4 gigs of ram. not noticing a profound difference in designing fractals yet. Since I only have 4 cores or 8 threads, 32 bit is still doing OK on my new nmachine.

I can't help with the 64 bit plugins. I'm still running a 32 bit OS
