1) soo..we need 6 candidate ( coz in MB3D are 6 formulae for use)
2) the first candidate choose Fo1 and puttin what he wish , play with , save the parameters and send to 2nd candidate
3) the 2nd candidate choose Fo2 and putt in what he/she wants , , and let Fo1 UNTOUCH !! , play with , save and send to next candidate
4) the 3th candidate do the same..and let untouch Fo1 AND Fo2 !!
5) the next candidates do the same till are all full ( Fo1 -Fo6)
6) now we have a (i hope so ) intresting result
7) we post this then as a collaboration with the 6 names of the candidates
sooo, what think you about this (game) ??

Hope you are all settled in to the routine life after the holidays...
As this is a study group...thought of sharing here some tips, Luca :icondark-beam: shared regarding the order of formulae using in MB3D.....some of you may be aware about it.
The order of formulae using in MB3D play an important role in shaping the fractal image.
The first formula plays a vital role...for example in a set of formulae " repeat from here" starts from second formula we can say that the 1st formula is a pre-transform...and the remaining formula will repeat in order, according to the no. of iterations..
For eg:-if we take our

Isolating Structures In MB3DHow to clean up your image background ~Isolating Structures In MB3D2 months ago in Personal More Like This
Wow. I haven't done a journal in ages. I thought I would share a little trick for getting a nice clean background when you want to isolate a structure in Mandelbulb 3D. Why? Because sometimes the structures behind the main focus of your image or the main structure are either just small repeats of the main structure, or they are fragmented and in one way or another just not as interesting. Or the background might bury the foreground object in detail or draw attention away from what you really want the viewer to focus on. People strive for a lot of detail, and that's fine, and sometimes it works. But often I find that there's no main focus to frame your point of view. (Edit: I forgot to mention this is made using Mandelbulb 3D version 1.8.2 and I fixed a few typo's!)
Sometimes you're able to focus on the foreground structure through clever use of fog, lights and depth of field settings. Nothing wrong with that either, so this is just another

Now the public vote (which included the Imfamous Fractal Forums Admin/Founder CKleihuis aka TriFox and other members of the forums) left us with no clear 2nd or 3rd place with several submissions tied on votes. I was kind of unsure of what to do, but I hope you'll agree that I made the right move by contacting the one, the only Jesse!!

Devious Journal EntryCiao GaryDevious Journal Entry3 months ago in Personal More Like This
every time I will hear the word "Bella" I'll think of you.
Another Sad LossAs I am sure most of you have heard, Gary (aka Skyzyk) passed away last night. It came as a great shock to me, to see this news when I logged in today, although I will admit I had noticed he seemed absent recently. It's a very great loss, as Garuy was a wonderful artist, a great friend, and one of the best supporters of the fractal community.Another Sad Loss3 months ago in Personal More Like This

This seems especially sad as it came on the birthday of :iconkram666: who we also lost all too recently. For myself, this is now the third dA friend I have seen pass away, and it doesn't really get any easier. It will be very hard knowing we will never see another wonderful piece of art from these artists, nor have their support and assistance. Gary was always very helpful to me, and to many others, giving tips and advice about fractal software and good comments and criticism of other's works.
I like to think he is out there somewhere, exploring even more wo
