DC-Cylinder Plugin For Apophysis7x
This is a "combo" plugin, it is based on the Rod Plugin by Branden Brown, a.k.a. zephyrtronium
Rod:[link]
And the DC_linear Plugin by Georg Kiehne a.k.a. Xyruso2
Available in this pack: [link]
This combines those 2 plugins into one plugin to make the DC-Cylinder plugin and gives you functions not available by just using those 2 plugins together on a transform. (Try it and see
)
Big thanks go to those awesome people for sharing the original plugins and codes as well as Michael Faber for the original Apoplugin.h file
All thanks really goes to those people for the codes, I just "hacked" them together
dc_cyl_offset is like rotating the gradient in the gradient editor.
dc_cyl_angle changes the angle of the gradient (think fruit striped gum).
dc_cyl_scale is the amount of the DC functions applied (and works in conjunction with cyl_blur).
cyl_x is like activating the post transform and adjusting the x value.
cyl_y works like cyl_x only it changes the y value.
cyl_blur adjusts the amount of "pre-blur" in a cylindrical shape
The color and color speed functions will have no effect if the Direct Color option on the Colors tab is set to 1,
anything less than 1 and they will have an effect, and this gives you even more color options when tweaking your flame.
Setting the DC variables to 0 will make the plugin work similar to regular cylinder with no DC effect but with a slight difference, adjust the cyl_x and cyl_y values to set the size of your cylinder.
Try this plugin anywhere you would normally use Cylinder or Cylinder+Preblur. Sometimes the cyl_blur doesn't work the same as preblur so experiment with the two to see which one works best for you.
Many of my latest devs used this plugin and that's why they didn't have param shares as it wasn't quite ready for public release yet, I'm happy with this one so here it is
Thanks to `SuicideBySafetyPin
for beta testing for me

Other examples:
Download includes Apoplugin.h for DC plugins
The Preview Render (without the text 1024x768)
The Source Code
A Flame example file showing the flame I used for the test render and the difference without the DC option
The GNU General Public License Text
And the help file (listed above)
If you don't have winrar or winzip or a rar extractor
you can use the free 7-zip program to open it: [link]
Why are you still reading this?
Now go show me what you can do with it!
Happy Tweaking!
*edit, it acts kind of funky sometimes when moving the transform, like disappearing, I thought I had fixed that but I guess it depends on the other variations used as it worked in the beta testing flames/forms I used. Also sometimes it helps to change the opacity on the first DC-Cyl transform to 0 to eliminate a funky looking line(s) thing, then just add more DC-Cyl transforms and adjust the values to your liking
