very cool tut! A really good alternative to Fiji is Jwildfire (the one I use to pile up voxels).

tiffrmc720 Featured By Owner Feb 6, 2018 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Really? You can compile the voxel stacks exported from Mandelbulb 3d in Jwildfire? Wow, I'll have to test that out too. Or do you just mean fractals made in Jwildfire?

elminino Featured By Owner Edited Feb 7, 2018 General Artist

Yeah, I've been using it for this purpose for a while now. I like the 2.50 version better. Basically does the same thing that Fiji does, but you can watch the process (and know when is over). Also Jwildfire features some interesting editing options like a gauss effect. If you want to try it out, you might want to use my params, after a lot of trial and error:

Image Downsample_ 1
Spatial filter 0
B treshold 20
image step 1

Usually I dont use the prefilters, I prefer to smooth it out in meshlab or blender, but they can be handy when working with kleinians, for example.

So I highly recommend Jwildfire to work with voxels. The only thing is that sometimes it offers a deformed mesh, but this can be easily corrected in Meshlab:

Scale, z axis 0.5 (sometimes 0.33), uncheked Uniform scaling.

Cheers!

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!

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

Custom Height Maps For Mandelbulb3DMandelbulb3d has several ways to render 3d fractals. One of them, dIFS, has the ability to make use of height maps.
This tutorial focuses on creating custom height maps.
This is not news worthy - MB3D artists have long made use of this technique. Recently my friend Jorge - batjorge - has posted a tutorial on using dIFS with a height map - the HeightMapIFS and the amazingIFS formula. The tutorial is meant to easily generate the classic bulb shape and it achieves this admirably. The height map in Jorge's guide is a uniform, gray image. This results in a clean and texture-free bulb form. But what happens if a more complex height map is used?
This tutorial will walk you through creating a quality custom height map and applying it in a MB3D dIFS render.

This image - New Heights - uses a custom height map.

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

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

An Amazing Surf 'Roots' How-ToHello! I'm here to give you some tips while working with Amazing Surf formula! Before start to look, checkout Jorge's wonderful AMAZING SURF 2 tutorial over there ->
Okay. Let's Begin. Open Mandelbulb3D, and replace Integer by Amazing Surf. Zoom little bit out, and it should look like this:

Now change some values of formula:
Scale: 1.2
Min R: 0.1
Fold: 2.5
Rotation1 X: 13
Rotation1 Y: 9
Rotation1 Z: -20
Scale Vary: 0
Sphere or Cylinder: 0
When you zoom into center little bit, you may already see forming some little curls like this:

Now turn on Julia on and put these values:
X: 0.5
Y: -0.125
Z: 0
And we're done! For experimenting, higher or lower surf/julia values and get more mystery shapes! (Tip: Put Asurf to 3-4-5th slot, to put before it different formula. It can enhance your Asurf fractal) Examples:

Q-n-D Mandelbulb3D Reflections and Transparency by Sabine62

Quick'n'Dirty: Reflections and TransparencyFractal Art Week
Note: these are not the holy grail settings for reflections and transparency. They are what this is called: a quick and dirty approach for those who (like me for a long long time) need a place to start and experiment from. All in here is based on what I found out myself or what I was pointed to by kind fellow DA-members. If you find fault with it, have additional tips or whatever, please drop me a note

Also, please remember, I am not a native speaker. Either ignore spelling- and/or grammar-mistakes or (even better!) point me to them if you like!

Errmm... Maybe it's not such a Quick tutorial after all... :}
