I really don't understand how the plug-in works... so I guessed wildly that maybe switching random number generator (from rand() to GLib's g_random_int()) might help. It did have some visible effect, but I still didn't manage to produce anything even vaguely like the example images on http://draves.org/flame/ . Maybe the flame plug-in is very sensitive to what random number generator is used, and works well only with the random() function available on most Unixes (but not in MS's C library). Does anybody on gimp-developer have any idea? However, now that I read that webpage, I notice that there is a stand-alone flame generator for Windows, using the same algorithms, available at http://www.uvm.edu/~msargent/main.htm . Have a look at that... It probably is faster than the GIMP flame plug-in. --tml
