Note: Some minor adjustments to the code were made and the files have been updated. Mostly it involves scale issues. The biggest difference is with hexaplay3D which has a much better behavior and appearance. I recommend re-downloading the package!
This project has been on my mind for a very long time. The occasion of starting to write 3D plugins made it possible to write these new toys.
There are two new plugins in this package. 1. cubicLattice_3D 2. hexaplay3D
Cubic is what the name describes, a cubic structure. Apo draws a reduced size copy of flames relative to the vertices of the cube. There is a variable to influence the size and there are two slightly different styles in the plugin.
hexaplay3D draws snowflakes! It creates an hexagonal lattice and Apo draws relative to the vertices. It will draw one hex plate, or two. If two, it can separate them by a distance you specify. Many real snowflakes grow with two hex plates.
Notice that the default orientation in Apo means that you will not at first see the structures. You have to rotate the flame around for a better view. The Readme file contains a suggested method and starting location for viewing these as you work.
The package includes a flame file, and all additional plugins required by the examples. Put the .dll files into your plugins3D folder and start designing cubes and snowflakes!
thanks for sharing, the hexaplay is my favorite, very cool here's an example with it on the fx, check it with and without fx and notice what a drastic change:
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
