What's new in v1.5.0

News from previuos beta - Better and more natural shadows - Scattered shadow alternative (using random Poisson disk) - New Attractors: Qi-Chen, Qi 3D, Chen-Celikovsky, Tamari, Shimizu-Morioka, Bruke-Shaw, Popcorn4D simple

Already present in v1.5.0beta The main feature is the transformFeedback multiDot emitter added.\ Now all dp/dt attractors (yellow tag) have an additional new emitter type to visualize them in a progressive way and/or with multiDot (spray) effect.\ Is also possible to travel, in first person (cockpit view), within the particles, following the evolution of the attractors. | Simulating a comet's journey in Lorenz attractor | Voyage in Multi-Chua II attractor | | :---: | :---: | | | |

 

New menu is available to adjust these settings:

1) Panoramic/CockPit dots/s: different emitter speed for any view\ 2) Number of dots for each step, real dots/s emitted are: dots/s * Emit#\ 3) Multiplication factor of initial radial random speed\ 4) Air friction/deceleration\ 5) Point size: there are 3 different "pointSize" for: singleDot emitter, multiDot emitter and cockpitView\ 6) Particles LifeTime, in sec.\ 7) LifeTime attenuation: when the lifeTime ends, in blending mode, the particle attenuates the intensity of this factor, any second\ 8) Wind direction and intensity (in units/s)\ 9) Gravity/Acceleration direction and intensity (in units/s)\ A) Toggle cockpit view and related settings (following controls)\ B) Smoothing distance: in blending mode attenuates the intensity of near dots by distance\ C) Clipping distance: skip to draw closer particles\ D) PiP (Picture In Picture) feature\ E) TagretView is the current emitted dot, PointOfView is positioned on the wake: it adjusts the distance from head (it follows the attractor direction).\ F) Move back the PoV: it follows the vector PoV -> TGT\ G) Rotate the cam around TagretView, or better: around attractor head (last emitted dot), use reset to reposition the cam\ H) Move forward the TagretView position

Other new features:

• GloboToroid attractor (thanks to the suggestion of Joe Carmon)
• Synchronous OpenGL mode option (for slow GPU)
• Speed up 30% DLA3D
• More AO (ambient occlusion) accuracy: range check
• Save clipping planes settings

Fixes:

• MacOS version now is fluid: solved stuttering problems
• Now buffer stops exactly on the end
• Little issues with shadow and clipping planes
• Several fixes of new features present in v.1.5.0beta
• Some minor general bugs fixed

Known Issues

• Some attractors, presnt in the additional SavedList, has been previously saved with not optimized parameters for the new shadow algorithm: try to select AutoLightPosition (and/or tell me if you have problems)

Changes:

• Attractors are identified by color (not anymore by symbols)
• The selection identifies the attractor currently displayed

installation

No installer provided / needed: just download the glChAoSP_release.zip binary archive (it contains all binaries for all O.S.) and decompress it in a folder whatever: only the internal directories structure must be preserved. Added tarball glChAoSP_release.tar.gz for Linux users: it's same but maintains executable attributes for binaries. Starting from 1.4.0 release, there are no more binaries in the source code repository. Please use last glChAoSP_release zip/tar.gz archive, with internal directory structure, or build the current WorkInProgress (WiP) release from source code (I am available for any problem).

WebGL live / online version 1.5.0

The WebGL/WebAssembly version is online at this link: wglChAoS.P

With the new Attractors website pages you have full access to math formulas, computational code, and permit you to explore interactively any single attractor: AttractorsFormula Soon also
