I think this helps ... Not so obvious to get this effect. Enjoy again

Hey Luca, LTNS - what you been up to? I'm wondering that since the Reflections tab has changed, where do you find the Spec. setting which you changed to '1' there. :D

I found your tutorial about transparency on deviantART !/

Thank you to answer me.

Nice tute! Forgot to fave this when you released it. BTW I tried this effect with a very busy image similar to the We R Borg images and it doesnt quite work so well... I end up with a very black image full of dots. Perhaps a complex image must be treated differently to get this effect on anything other than simple geometry? Or I did something horribly wrong.

Here is the params I was trying with:

Maybey when you get a spare moment you can see what is going wrong here, I am sure others following this tute will appreciate the knowledge. This is not an image I was planning on releasing, so feel free to do whatever you like with it. its just some fractal "stock" of mine.

The more the surface you use is smooth, the better the reflections will work.
So for a very curly/furry surface, reflections are almost useless
Keep that in mind and everything will be clear. ;)

MindsEye69 Featured By Owner Feb 29, 2012  Professional Digital Artist
Yea I understand. Did you look at those params? It wasnt at all curly or furry, it was very squared and mostly flat faces, so I really expected it to work, but it doesn't unfortunatly. I think it could but I simply don't know enough about what I am doing to make it work.

:icondark-beam:
dark-beam Featured By Owner Feb 29, 2012  Student Artist
All sorts of unregularities affect the reflects because they are based on surface normals. It's easy to find them only when curvatire vary in a regular way (sphere plane)... or something

PS. Adding lights does kick SOME life into it, but it doesnt have that true-chrome look you have in your example... and switching a simple cloud background on and off doesnt change it much either, just so you know I have tried most the logical things.

Very nice luca... I stumbled upon the mirror effect myself by accident. It wasn't quite as total as yours because I had a very dark grey and not full black, but it was pretty close. Now my question for you is why is the sphere reflecting the background on its front side? This would imply a mirrored plane behind the camera, and one would then expect to see the ball also reflected in itself... Or am I missing something?
Reply
:icondark-beam:
dark-beam Featured By Owner Feb 16, 2012  Student Artist
Because the background is like a sphere everywhere around of radius = infy, so a reflecting sphere projects it into its surface. :)

You can see a plane back-reflecting very easily, using example a box with infinite limits and going in the middle ... :)

Also I did a decomb_xxx formula that does nice things when used in decomb mode (reversed bubble but of finite radius)

Sorry my english suckz

:iconmindseye69:
MindsEye69 Featured By Owner Feb 16, 2012  Professional Digital Artist
This sounds very interesting can you perhaps explain a bit more or just paste some params about what you mean with the decomb_xxx bit? I can learn for myself what you mean from some example parameters.

And your english is great man.. especially considering that these are not really common english words and terminology that we use regarding fractals and graphics. You can be quite happy with your level of english my friend.. Its a million times better than my italian : )

Yea it wasn't so much the formula as the best way to use it. I am really trying to learn what it is I am doing and not just guessing all the time. Even if I can learn a little bit so I can start to make images with intention instead of just dice rolling and getting lucky.

MandelBulb3D DEcombinate Mix Mode TutorialHello everyone! Glad to see you all around! I've been testing new possibilities in Mandelbulb3D and I found easy and clever way, how to save your render time to make fabulous and outstanding pieces. Let me explain you what I'm talking about here!
As the title says, there's a "Mix" mode in DEcombinate function. It remained unused for quite a time. It's time to make revolution.
First of all, let's start with something basic, like bulbs!  I will explain each step and every single thing to make you understand the technique! Ok, Let's go.
I suppose you already opened your Mandelbulb. And now:
1. In first formula slot place _AmazingBox formula, and keep it unchanged for now.

2. In second slot, place boardIFS formula, and keep it unchanged as well. (Note: At Step 2 and 3 DO NOT OPEN Navi yet)
3. Now what we exactly need to do is turn DEcombinate on and choose Mix mode! 

4.

Isolating Structures In MB3DHow to clean up your image background ~  
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
An Amazing Surf 2 GuidelineMany people went a bit frustrated on not getting anything “cool” from the new Amazing Surf 2 formula recently made by Luca, aka dark-beam :icondark-beam: for Mandelbulb 3D.
If you haven't it in hand you can get it here: http://www.fractalforums.com/mandelbulb-3d/custom-formulas-and-transforms-release-t17106/
Here's a brief indication on how you can get nice patterns out of it without hair pulling :D
I've assumed that you already put on the first slot the Asurf2 formula.

So, let's change some values:
Scale= 1.325
Min R= 0.1
FoldXY= 0.25
Rotate1 X=0
Rotate1 Y=0
Rotate1 Z= 8
FoldFiddler=0
It would look something like this:

Now go on the Julia tab in the main window or in the 3D navi, as you most prefer, and input the following values:
X= 0
Y= -1.5
Z= 0

Now that's it, you're done basicall

Mandelbulb 3D Tutorial 4: Basic TipsMandelbulb 3D Tutorial 4: Basic Tips
First thing we'll cover are some tweaking tips. Tweaking, not to be confused with Twerking. Almost everyone does it. It's one of the best ways to learn. This section of the tutorial will cover some of the basics that will hopefully help new MB3D users with tweaking. Just don't let words like iterations, raystep multiplier and stepthwidth limiter scare you off. You don't need to know the math behind these things. Just consider those words as lables to show you where a setting is and you'll do fine. That's what the GUI is for, to make using the program fairly simple. I'm going to use a sample parameter of mine from about 2 1\2 years ago which is a tweak in a long line of tweaks. You will find that I am guilty of a few things that I'm going to cover, so it's a good example.
As always, I like to mention that I am not a tech giant. I really don't know a lot of the technical aspects of Mandelbulb 3D. If you are interested in the technical
