Description Navigating 3D-space (Mandelbulb3D - first steps)Fractal Art
Mandelbulb3D is a fractal generating program that aims at creating 3D-fractals that are often quite realistic looking.
2D-fractal software like Jux can only create fractals that are flat, while 3D-fractals also have height/depth (and of course there are the in-betweens: some programs like UltraFractal are mainly 2D, but have (very limited) 3D-possibilities). The best comparison might be a photograph (which is always 2D) you had printed from some shells. For instance, you can see the shells but if you let your hand touch the photo, it feels like a flat surface. If 3D-photos would exist, you would be feeling the shells sticking out of the flat surface.

Most mandelbulb3D-users navigate through their fractal by using the Navigation window. You will find it on the upper left of the main window by clicking the 3D Navi-button

But what really happens when we move around in our fractal in the navigation window? In Now also available as PDF

I had a quick look this morning and without having MB running it did actually make sense - although I think the interface on the new version is different to your picture. It was very clearly written so thank you again!

Ohh I am glad you like it, Marnie! I never know what is interesting, and then also: I know a bit but not much by far! Most of the times someone asks me and then I make a little tut and post it for everyone. So I am extra happy when you or someone else from my friends thinks it's useful

Nice tut, Sabine!! A must for 1st time users of Mandelbulb.. Nice and comprehensive explanations.. I ll hire you for teacher..

YAY!
Thank you, Gas! I would have loved to find tuts like that (the really 'simple' stuff you need as a beginner) when I started with mb3d. All was trial and error... and as you might have guessed, I was especially good at the errors (still am! )

Errors are beautiful in Mb3d, Sabine!! They are recommended for something to be unique...

Sabine62 In reply to Transistor1 [2015-12-03 19:25:58 +0000 UTC]

You are so right, Gas! We never learn without error, and through them I found some great and fun stuff so often in mb3d
