FFRend (Freeframe Renderer) is a renderer for Freeframe plugins. It allows you to chain any number of plugins together, automate their parameters using oscillators, and record the output to an AVI file. The input is a video (AVI/MPG), still image (BMP/JPG/GIF), or source plugin.
Features of Fractice
- Navigate by drawing rectangles, dragging, or wheel zoom
- Continuous zooming via magnifier tool
- History bar shows thumbnails of where you’ve been
- Low-res preview is displayed before rendering begins
- Fit to window and actual-size scrolling view modes
- Antialiasing up to 16x using optimized supersampling
- Export bitmaps
- Printing and print preview
- Multi-threaded, multi-core rendering with CPU auto-detect
- Movie recording to compressed or uncompressed AVI files
- No size limit for recorded movies except disk space
- Distributed processing for both movies and exploring
- Palette editing via interpolated RGB or HLS gradients
- Change palette without re-rendering
- Import Fractint palettes
- Histogram of escape times
- Full-screen mode
- Unlimited undo/redo
- Cubic, quartic and higher exponent Mandelbrot variants
- Poster export for images too huge to render otherwise
- Queue movie/poster renders to Job Control
- Color cycling
What's New
- In the previous version, SSE2 support was accidentally disabled for shallow (non-deep) zooms. This caused shallow zooms to take approximately twice as long as they should have. Deep zooms were unaffected. Checking the "Use SSE2" checkbox in Options/Engine made no difference. The bug was present in both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions, and in both the server and the client. Sorry! Fixed.
- The real-time colormapping/downsampling function that's used in full-screen Exclusive (Mixer) mode is now better optimized, and runs two or three times faster on all platforms. This leaves more CPU time for rendering.
