Thanks, all still a bit of "Greek" to me, but your document helps a lot!!

dark-beam Featured By Owner Jun 13, 2012 Student Artist

My dear, this doc is very old and should be completely rewritten becaise mb now has a far smarter interface!

some ideas are still valid.

anyway, there is a way to combine fractals with Difs, check my folder helpful stuff, I explained lots of techniques. Read and you will do masterpieces

Wow! This info is so helpful! Hard to say in words how nice it is to have such insights! Thanks so much, for everything!

SciFiArtMan Featured By Owner Feb 29, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

That would be fantastic! Thanks again!

BTW, can you tell me how to utilize the 10 invisible custom preset boxes, under the 5 visible light presets at the bottom of the Lighting dialog box? I can't figure it out, or find any info on them.

dark-beam Featured By Owner Feb 29, 2012 Student Artist

quando lo hai scaricato dimmelo che rimuovo la zip

ciao e grazie per il tut e tutte le formule

dark-beam Featured By Owner Jan 27, 2012 Student Artist

Se sai farlo, puoi caricarlo su DA ti dò il permesso ufficiale.

dark-beam Featured By Owner Jan 27, 2012 Student Artist

Grazie mille.

Purtroppo come ti ho accennato non è servito granchè perchè cmq è riferito alle vecchie versioni e moltissimi dettagli andrebbero aggiornati; oggi lavorare con MB è molto piùsemplice e veloce.

PhotoComix2 Featured By Owner Jan 26, 2012

Qualche erroe ti ortografia ti è sfuggito se vuoi li correggo e t mando una copia

dark-beam Featured By Owner Jan 26, 2012 Student Artist

Grazie! Dovrei anche aggiornarlo (di brutto) ma sono pigro

PhotoComix2 Featured By Owner Jan 26, 2012

okay lo rileggo poi te lo mando

LeonieZurakowsky Featured By Owner Jan 21, 2012 Digital Artist

This tutorial has been featured in my journal here: [link] !!! Thanks so much!

PhotoComix2 Featured By Owner Jan 7, 2012

Grazie per il tutorial
sai se ce ne uno specifico per animazioni ?
(per ora sto facendomi le basi ma voglio provare presto a fare un breve video)

dark-beam Featured By Owner Jan 7, 2012 Student Artist

Per animazioni? Non credo, prova a chiedere al mitico Hal Tenny

wolfepaw Featured By Owner Jul 25, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Thanks so much for this! I hope it helps me with Mandelbulb. I get so lost trying to navigate to something that looks interesting, but when I think I'm zooming into it, when it renders in the preview window, it never looks anything like I think it will. Maybe one day I'll get the hang of it.

dark-beam Featured By Owner Jul 26, 2011 Student Artist

Well this is unavoidable since a preview will never be like the final render.

anyway remember to download the latest version asap

GypsyH Featured By Owner Jul 18, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

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!

Insight Light - A M3D Lightning Tutorial by gannjondal

An amazingIFS guideA little guide on how to use amazingIFS formula on Mandelbulb 3D.
Here is a simple procedure on how to obtain these caracteristic “kleinian” shapes or however they are named with a simple heightmap. This mini tutorial can be done with any other dIFS shapes tough, like SphereIFS, etc.
I've used for this example a very simple grayscale map, filled with neutral grey (RGB 192)
If you don't want to make it or can't, you can download it here: http://sta.sh/0fu5qld142i
Don't forget to add the map to the working folder you have for Mandelbulb 3D!
I've lowered the max. Iterations to 25 in the formula window to speed things a bit up but you can change it later if you prefer to do so.
Put in the first slot HeightMapIFS and type 199 in the nr field:

Add amazingIFS to the second slot.Just set all rotation X, Y and Z from default 5 to 0, and change Fold X, Y and Z values to 1.
