Title: Tips for creating fractals? Post by: tin34543 on February 05, 2012, 03:44:45 PM Hi
I am a new Madlebulb user and would like some tips (videos?) that show me how to take an existing mandelbulb and change it say so that, if it featured balls i could change them in to boxes. Also any pointers to which values in mandlebulb are the best to change to start experimenting with changing how the fractal looks. Ideally i would like to be able to take a fractal and make it look more industrial. There are so many settings i am not sure where to start :) Cheers PT Title: Re: Tips for creating fractals? Post by: Sockratease on February 05, 2012, 04:10:05 PM I'd start by reading a bunch of threads in this section of the forum, then looking at as many sample parameters as possible to get a feel for things.
It's a slow learning process because of the nature of fractals. Small parameter changes can produce large changes in the results, so it becomes a cross between luck and finding your way around each combination via trial and error. There are some general rules though. You asked about turning a bulb into a box - here's a thread talking about that kind of thing: http://www.fractalforums.com/mandelbulb-3d/the-interpolations-in-mandelbulb3d/ I originally thought that couldn't be done, because when I tried it I got horrible results, but I was wrong. (http://www.sockrateaze.com/stuff/proof.gif) There's an example m3a file attached in there to show how it was done. Hope that helps... Title: Re: Tips for creating fractals?
