Hello! 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 -> An Amazing Surf 2 GuidelineMany people went a bit frustrated on not getting anything β€œcool” 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...
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: , , and much more!
If you just want to try out asurf by preloaded params, here you go, tweak!

And for Amazing Surf-_RotatedAbs??? I have never succeed 'cause I don't know what to insert inΒ  _RotatedAbs

LukasFractalizator In reply to Lior-Art [2016-08-07 13:04:19 +0000 UTC]

_RotatedAbs is another additional formula you can use after getting 'average' shapes. Those Ads are modificating the hape more than other basic formulas do. You can get great shapes even without using Ads and just playing with formulas parameter and julia. I'd suggest also check out this tutorial by batjorge Β  An Amazing Surf 2 GuidelineMany people went a bit frustrated on not getting anything β€œcool” from the new Amazing Surf 2 formula recently made by Luca, aka dark-beam :icondark-beam: for Mandelbulb 3D.

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 basicallΒ . He's even more skilled than me. You can ask him about it as well. He's very good artist, mainly by the technical side.

Interesting tut for us newbies.
I would like to add my findings.

Keep going back to the Julia options.
Whatever the formula you can fine tune detail from there.

Also - as far as I can see you only need 1 iteration for this particular formula in most combos. Β Their is a tendency for some formulas to dominate and increasing the iterations in these circumstances may well redress the balance.

Β  Also - I - noticed the lack of pixels in one or two areas which can be corrected by setting Sphere or Cylinder to 0 then carefully tweaking scale vary (if it still needs it).

Thank you for doing this, I never knew how to get to surfing curls without playing around with the formulas!

LukasFractalizator In reply to miincdesign [2015-05-10 16:48:27 +0000 UTC]

Very interesting is, if you use rotation values on formulas with same rotation1 functions. You can get very interesting pieces. Also answer on that, as you wrote under your pong response, when i put same formula twice, so that's how. Two surf powers each other, so accelerates shape.
