Tah-Dah!! After many long months in seclusion, Jesse has released a new, beta version of Mandelbulb 3D: v1.8.6beta-2 test!!

This is just the executable and readme; get it at: [link]

(You will need to have installed the full version 1.8.2 x1: [link]  prior to adding this update)

As always, in Jesse's own words:

"Ok, this is for those who like testing, only the executable with readme included, save your current program first when replacing it with this version....

What's new in version 1.8.6beta-2 test:

-  Fixed issues in the navigator and lighting.
-  'Smooth' option when calculating only one hard shadow.
-  New but slow monte carlo rendering method.
-  Author names can be inserted into the parameter, look in 'Infos' tab.
-  Support for loading 48 bit PNG maps and background pics.
-  Exchanged the png unit with the old one because of reported saving issues.
-  Preview images in the loading dialog for m3i (if images are stored in).
-  Background images are displayed in the navigator.
-  Some minor changes."

Great to see the man himself back in the drivers seat again!!

As always, don't forget to regularly check for the latest updates to Dark-Beam's formula pack - 'new fmlas.zip'

Enjoy Folks....
