Hi.

Please, would it be possible to implement a sudden simple and very good workflow for artists?
The community of artists is huge, they would certainly welcome a fast working environment.
The Parameter browser window has an extremely large and hitherto untapped potential.

Thank you very much.

Hello,

Thanks for all the great improvements so far in all the 2.0 beta builds. Just a couple things I have noticed and am not sure if it is really Chaotica or a separate issue somehow.

Since maybe 2.0.25 release or so, I have had an issue with using my gpu (Geforce GTX 1650), Chaotica will show a -inf rendering error and it generally refuses to render. It isn't the biggest problem for me because I have a 3950X cpu but in the instances I want to test params on a gpu it does become problematic.

Also on this specific version (.0.33) Chaotica locks up after maybe 10 hours of rendering, whitescreens and requires a manual termination out of taskmgr. I wish I could be more specific but I have lost 2 of my latest renders in a row this way. Params linked below. This is really the first time any build of Chaotica has locked up consistently on me in proper use scenarios. I will do a stress test out of the Ryzen master on mem and cpu and manually look for new drivers and see if I find anything. The only different thing outside my "usual" workflow, specific to these params, is AA4 for all the fine details and lines of this fractal. AA3 is usually appropriate for the rest of my renders.

I figure you guys have ironed out most of the problems by now so these are quite strange to me, and I wonder if there's some specific use issue involving nice 3950X, memory that doesn't function at proper speed sometimes especially after driver installs (unless speed and clocking is hand tweaked in bios *and* ryzen master with several restarts) but is fine afterwards, and slowish gpu.

All The Best,

Hi,
This is a nice idea thanks.
One issue I see is that it's not immediately obvious how to blend together different fractals with different transforms.

Hi Kat,
Can you post the params here please (or send them to us some other way).
Is it just those params that cause a lock-up?
If chaotica crashes, you can send us a crash dump (a dialog should pop up next time you run chaotica saying that)
Are you rendering with CPU or GPU when this happens?
