gave me a 3 month sub
why? I dunno, I didn't catch a pageview/kiriban or do anything special for him,
he's just cool like that, so here are some of my favorites from his gallery:




======================================
New beta for flam3.
here's the changelog:

12/20/09 Highlight power now interpolates smoothly from old behavior
(-1) to new behavior. flam3-genome 'split' mode was broken, fixed
(thanks Exper.) Die gracefully instead of segfault when very
small estimator_curve values are specified. Version attribute
added to flame tag. Number of iterations used to fuse attractor
increased to 100. Release as 2.8beta7.

Again, atomic is for >2 cores.

3+ cores : [link]

Info tip from :
Quote: "I have discovered something cool....
Joel Faber's Image Apo 2.04, doesn't allow for moving post transforms or additional plugins, But if you move the posts around in 2.07, as Ngons with a power of 1, then open the result in JF's 2.04, the posts will still be moved, and you can change them to the image variation."
Thanks for the the info m8!

The Plugins - The Next Package by ~gossamer-light[link]
Includes fold, sinecho, mblur, uncube, gblur, squarical, wings, and hemisphere.

SuperMassive Plugin Pack by =phoenixkeyblack
[link]
Just like the name suggests, it's a collection of almost all the plugins, a rather large download but well worth having

*You will need to create a folder called Plugins to use these plugins if you don't have that folder yet, then once downloaded copy them into the plugins folder. For Apophysis2.083D create a folder called Plugins3D

======================================
Free Paint Programs for Post Working
======================================
ArtWeaver, Free Graphic program with multi-layer support:
ArtWeaver
My Personal Favorite for freeware as I like the interface better than Gimp's

The Gimp, free paint program, can also make animated gifs
Gimp 2

PhotoFiltre, Free Graphic/paint program, no transparent layer support but it has some cool filters and is VERY easy to use.
I highly recommend it for people new to using paint programs:

I want to say a big THANK YOU to all those who responded to my journals and donated time or money to this cause, I can't stress enough how important this is to me.
I lost my mom to breast cancer long ago and I now take care of a terminally ill cancer patient in my home, So this is a cause very personal and close to my heart for me.
Cancer CAN be beaten!!! Just go ask =Webwoman and =Bootsbounty They beat it!

The breastcancersite.com is not getting enough daily clicks to keep funding free mammograms.
So I ask all of you, my friends and watchers, and everyone else at dA who read this, to make it a daily habit of clicking the link to fund free mammograms.

No need for monetary donations (although they are greatly appreciated), this costs you nothing but a moment of your time,
and you will be helping to save the lives of many women and men (yes, men can get breast cancer too)
So please, please, bookmark the link and make this a daily habit!

For those of you who have Cancer, you have my heartfelt sympathies and I want you to know there ARE people who care, DON'T GIVE UP!
Drink ESSIAC Herbal Tea (An ancient Indian Remedy), it's the real Cure for cancer if caught in time!
Doctors won't tell you that until it's too late as they would lose billions of dollars in funding (just my opinion)

Here's the click link:
TheBreastCancerSite

Thanks in advance to everyone who takes the time out of their busy lives to pitch in!
