You can also mark an area in the image to zoom into it. Left-click for zooming in, Right-click for zooming out. You can select on the bottom left side of the programs window three options by clicking on these buttons:īutton is for zooming, a double click in the image will zoom in the clicked position by a factor of 1.4. The other way for navigating is to use the 2D mouse functions to step and zoom via 2D slices to different positions. The easiest way is to use the 3d navigator that i recommend and will explain in an extra topic later on. If the formulas are not all available, specify the formula directory by clicking on the 'Initial directories' button in the 'INI' tab. Also a big thanks to all who supported m3d, me and others with kind words, lightmaps, cool renderings and their parameters!Īn installation is not necessary, extract the whole archive to a folder of your choice and start the program by clicking on Mandelbulb3D.exe. Also to Syntopia and all the others for inspiration, helping, testing, for suggestions, and the people of Nasa and Gimp for the awesome work and the maps I generated from their work (and hopefully there is no restriction in using them this way). Many thanks to the people on, especially to David Makin for helping with implementing DE, also to Buddhi for the fast DE method for the amazing box, msltoe for the riemannian formula, Tglad for the Amazing Box, Fracmonk for the CommQuat formula, Trafassel for the IdesFormula, Kali, Bethchen, all I forgot, for even more formulas, and of course Luca (DarkBeam) for many, many own made formulas! Not at least thanks to Daniel White, whose fast int power formulas I am using and for developing some of the first 3d bulbs together with Paul Nylander. The rendering is based on distance estimates (DE), you might find this shortcut in some of the explanations. Mandelbulb 3D is a program designed for the Windows platform, for generating 3D views of different fractals.
