The 3.0.6 release has these things in it.
1) Spirograph effect. Added ability to animate one of the slider bars. Fixed the Spirograph equation (was missing a parenthesis).
Since it is hard to describe how this effect now works, i made a 10 minute video

Here is a 45x45 horizontal matrix showing a Spirograph effect

here is a 20x120 half megatree showing the exact same effect as above.

2) Modified code to make left window stay large enough to see the models. Remember that you can always make the xLights window bigger by dragging the bottom right corner.
3) Removed all effects in RGBEffects.cpp and made separate files for each effect. RenderBars.cpp, RenderMeteors.cpp, .etc. This was a suggestion from one of the developers.

*Very* nice Sean. I was able to create a cool "fire with smoke rising" effect on the MTREE model by layering Fire with Spirograph and checking the animate distance box.
Just curious, is there an easy way to capture a GIF of the effect displayed in the left window?

I use screencast-o-mastic. It can save the captured image as either mp4 or animated gif.

Here is a 3.0.6 spirograph effect in red and green on a 32x32 matrix. I've had it do some pretty nice "wreath" type effects with just a little tinkering.
Sean, thanks for the tip on screencast-o-matic ... I had already been using it, but had no idea of all the capabilities it had.
