Using XenoDream X 1.200.

So I am trying to make the gradient colors follow the metamorph Hexagoz.

I have been changing parameter on the Objects > Color panel with absolutely no luck.

Pleast tell me what I'm missing! (I'm sure it will turn out to be obvious.)

Thanks, dmeier]]>

While pursuing the forum I read a rendering question which lead me to realize that learning to optimize my time spent in the preview window would be the most efficient way to streamline total time spent since most of my time creating is done in the Preview Window.  

In the 'Using XenoDram v2.7' > Creating Objects > Optimizing for quality and speed > 
The focus is on rendering, which is a step you would ALWAYS take only after getting your objects to your liking via the preview window.

Keeping the question broad:  Are there methods to speed up the image generated in the preview window?  
I'd assume the less complex the object(s) are the faster, but I'm not therefore going to create less complex objects.]]>

I found the only way to get to where I wanted was to start from scratch.
Is there a button I missed?  I tried unchecking reorient after undoing back to the shape I left off on but that wasn't it.

Step 7. File>Append...Open> Data\Single\Displacers folder

There's nothing in the data folder.  

I had just worked through the Trees tut so I know there had been multiple directories to choose from and now there is absolutely nothing.

I haven't moved anything or done any cleaning or rearraigning of ANY computer files whatsoever.

What glaringly obvious thing am I missing?]]>

How would one make a prism with the top and bottom faces a 2D fractal such as the Dragon, Sierpinski Triangle or Terdragon? I am making something that uses a combination of prisms in those shapes.]]>

Why would visuals disappear from an image in Jux upon reloading a parameter file? And is there anything I can do to prevent this or, better yet, restore the original?

I am thinking in particular of the "hypnotic circle" type shapes in some Julia sets. Maybe there is a more appropriate term for them, they're the tunnel-like stacks of interior-colour circles.

I don't understand the math of fractals that well so there are still a number of parameters I fundamentally don't understand, and I don't know of anything in computing that would change if you left the parameters exactly the same. I am using the free version of Jux.

Here's what happened. I used the "classic" formula (z = z squared + c) to zoom in on a promising "minibrot". This was at a zoom level of 12,328 – see Image 1 attached.

I then did a Julia jump to an area where I saw a circle/circles. If I'm not mistaken, this resets the zoom level. I moved around until I found an area where there was a series of hypno circles at different zoom levels. Zoom level was now around 2,995 – see Image 2.

I followed the circles, smaller and smaller, and then zoomed in on an exterior-colour (white) area next to one of them. After zooming enough, inside of that area started appearing a strange cluster of several hypnotic circles. I thought this would be interesting to make some art. I could adjust it to make it look like a character of sorts. At the right position the circles lined up to create a kind of lopsided body and face.

Actually, it went very well. I spent quite some time adjusting lighting and colour. But when I reopened the parameter file, the cluster of hypno circles was gone! This was at a zoom level of 13,402 – see Image 3 (note I had changed the colour scheme by then).

If lost, I'd have to redo the image, but I'd still like to know how to prevent visuals disappearing in the future.

I've forgotten how to send the thumbnail view to the preview after adjusting the thumbnail to my liking. There is a key or combination of keys to do that but I just can't seem to remember.

I accidentally overwrite an existing jux file with the same filename, unfortunately Jux has not issued a warning ("do you really want to save under this filename?").

Would it be possible to install such warnings?

I have selected the SineShine formula and clicked on the Julia / Mandelbrot button (I did not change the basic settings of the formula at this time). I then received the message "Invalid floating point operation", which I clicked away. Then I wanted to switch the Abs mode from 0 to 1 (i still did not change the other basic settings) and got the same message, only now many times, and I could not click them away, I had to close Jux via Task Manager.
