Hi everyone,
I have created a new snowflake generator for Windows. It is a complete
rewrite and is based on an iterative fractal function. It produces
fairly realistic snowflakes.
You will need DirectX v8.0 or above for this program to work. There are
many options available, including support for different image resolutions.
The link:
http://www.caltel.com/~abenge/hgeFractalFlake1.zip
Just unzip the file into a single directory and you're good to go!
Some example images:

Enjoy!
Sam

Sadly, also doesn't run under WINE (though the result is a bit more
spectacular - I see the help text flashing, but when I say "go", the
machine crashed *hard*) or in W2K under VMware. :-(

One thing you might check. Does your video card support antialiasing or
anistropic filtering? If so, are those settings 'application controlled'
or have you overridden them? If it's the latter, disable them. Other
than that, I can think of no reason for the crash :(

I'm not sure if Linux has ways to change that. I think it's only nVidia
cards on Windows that give such settings.

I could not find the pov-output switch :(

I never alluded to such a feature. I posted the program here because you
can use the resulting bmp (saved via. F2) in POV like so:
pigment{
image_map{
sys"snowflake.bmp"
interpolate 2
}
}
If I can figure out dynamic arrays and formatted text output, I could
make a version which outputs to a POV include file.

Well that's a bloody shame. With nVidia cards you can use those settings
to play 3D games with antialising! It improves the quality manifold.

nVidia cards on linux have it. AFAIR ATI cards on either Windows or
Linux have it too.

I think it is not exactly how you do it in bmp, but what about blob objects?
Though they might be slow, I seldom use them.

If you use OGL, you will have beter compatibility. Then, it will be easier to
port to other OS, and have beter chances of running under a VM or emulator.

OGL=OpenGL?
I'll need to find the appropriate library for that. I h*te mucking
around with *really* low level stuff.

Where would I look for those settings?

I have an ATI and I can comfirm that it's available for Windows. Don't know
about Linux.

Being of the dry humor persuasion, I should have caught it :)

It seems like any option would result in a slow render.
A fairly good height_field can be made from the bmp's, which is why the
program is in b&w.

Will give that a shot, thanks - I don't spend a lot of time in Windows,
and a lot of my knowledge about that platform has subsequently vanished...

Interesting. I'll check my config and see if I can find the issue...

Hello everyone,
When I got my new computer I noticed a problematic error in the way this
program handles non-square images. If the program is producing extra
graphics on the sprites, here is a procedure which will fix it.
Open 'tiles.png' in Gimp, go to image>canvas size. Click on the chain to
disable locking of the aspect ratio. Type 256 for canvas width. Click
'resize'. Go to the layers palette and right click on the active (only)
layer. Left click on 'layer to image size'. Save. This should fix it.
