Title: new and kinda confused...........
Post by: boot-cheese-3000 on February 08, 2012, 04:01:23 AM
greetings everyone. i'm new to Mandelbulb3D but not fractal art, Apophysis is my main love. anyways a friend of mines that's also one of my Apophysis sifus told me about this forum and Mandelbulb3D after seeing her work. i downloaded it and tried playing with it yesterday but one of the tuts i followed was kinda old, it talked about features not seen on the new version like FOVy and a couple other things. after fluffing up my fractal i dumped it and decided to ask you guys before starting anything else--what is different about this new version of Mandelbulb3D? i would like to know before following more outdated tuts which i know are gonna piss me off (no offense to the people making them but you gotta admit working on something outdated is a pain in the butt).

i also wanted to know more about VirtualDub since i'm gonna use that to animate my fractals. what's the best version to use? i went to the website and was confused, some are more stable than others but i don't want something outdated that won't work with the new tut that i read or something to that effect.

Try to write a tutorial ... and to keep it "up to date" without ever benn payed (or even thanked in most cases) and then you might feel "pissed off". :hmh: And you even don't know well what you are talking about because FOV is actually on Mandelbulb3D. :tongue1:

FINALLY! just what i needed to know. like i said i'm new to this but still true to this so cut me some slack here. thanx a bunch.

methinks someone is still bitter about not getting any propers for whatever tuts you have written (which i would like links to as well, i'm not the script-swiping type unless it's animation and i'd STILL would make my own regardless. i wanna know how it works so i can render my own fractals). i thank all my tut writers and flame/script providers for their assistance on dA, esp. if i like their tutorials because of the results.

now with VirtualDub the latest version would be the best is what i'm hearing? ok let's start there............
