JWildfireSwan · build 19715830 · published
Last week I analyzed a strange behaviour regarding the calculation of the alpha channel on low-density areas. This affected flames with non-black-backgrounds. This has been fixed now. There are other improvements regarding the consistency of renders between JWildfire and JWildfireSwan.
Also, I'm writing now the storybook for a series of introduction/tutorial videos for Swan.
And, there is some really cool new variation mady by Whittaker Courtney , which he sent me this week: "flame_bulb". Thanks, Whittaker!
