Mandelbulb 3D Tutorial 2 by HalTenny

Ok then here is a tutorial for Mandelbulb 3D on how to make the "Tuber" pieces I've been doing lately. Hope you have fun and let me know if you have any trouble. Click the download link on the right to download the tutorial! It's a zipped html file so unzip it, click on the html file and have some fun! 

The version linked to below is a new version. The version the tut was written with is no longer available as far as I know. So some of the interface will be slightly different. Note me if you have trouble with it.

You can get Mandelbulb 3D by following this link!www.fractalforums.com/mandelbu…

If I understand correctly, there is no "render" button the way there is with apophysis, where it let's you adjust size and depth separate from the preview, rather you have to increase the resolution for a "higher depth" render, which you would then scale down after saving, and then calculate 3D?

I really want to create a 3D fractal where there is an algorithm for Z = Z^2+C on the x and y -axes, but every time you move up the z-axis it changes the exponent by a minute ammount.  Can anyone help me?  I have very little programming experience, but a fair bit of determination.

PS.  I, like some others here am struggling to find the tutorial, but I will find it I expect.

Hi HalTenny, i tried to follow your tutorial, but with latest versions of Mandelbub (i am currently on 1.69 mac version) the results are completely different from the screenshots you supplied in the tutorial.

Do you have any advice to help me? :D thank you

It's hard to say without seeing the parameters from what you have. Send me your parameters in a note so I can see where you're at.

I know this message is over a year old SativaPhoenix, and I'm sorry I somehow missed it. To most people on Deviant Art it is quite obvious that tutorials are often made available as downloads. All you had to do is look to the right and you would have seen it rather than post a nasty message.

It's an amazing tool, it's going to take a slight bit more time than Apophysis does to learn ;) (Wink) but it's going to be worth it!

This tuto introduced me to MDB 3D world nearly one year ago. Today,  I've begun to post some views inspired by this Tuberland tuto. The first ones are there --> fav.me/d78c39g

I'm grateful to you. Thanks for the inspiration.

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
Mandelbulb 3D Tutorial 5: Tips and TricksFrom time to time, I still manage to stumble across new 'tricks' in MB3D. I'm sure some of the following tips are known to others, but for those that haven't discovered them, I hope they will help in the future. Some of these were discovered accidentally, others were found through desperation while trying to solve problems.
The first one is very simple and just a little bit of a time saver.
Loading Diff maps ~
This was discovered by accident. It may be well know for all I know, but I just recently discovered it. In the light panel under the Global light tab, there is a box you select to load a diffuse map (Diff map). This is used to color your image in different ways, such as making it look like the structures surface is textured. Normally you simply select the box (Use a map for the diffuse color) and the number one map in your folder loads. If you want to change a map, you just scroll with the up\down arrows to a different image number or input a number if you know which map n
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
Pipe World by HalTenny
Evolution of a fractal ~ a ~ to ~ zI was just looking for something to do, and though it might be interesting for some of you see the work flow process I went through for a fractal yesterday. This is not a tutorial. It's just a visual representation of my searching for something that I hoped would be interesting, and if I got lucky, something unique as well. I'm not saying I accomplished either of those goals, but I like where I ended up, and in the process saved many parameters that could be further developed and possibly become worth posting at some point in time.
I decided to start with the formula ABoxModKali, as I have seen Tim, (aka timemit) using it a lot lately. I've used it before, but rarely started out with it as the anchor formula. (Fo.1) Played with it alone for a few minutes, with and without Julia, and then added _addC in Fo.2.  I thought the first image below would be a good staring point and it was my first saved parameter. A lot of the time, I work with no color because it can be distracting.
