Welcome to Fractal Forums

Is there a collection of color maps that can be downloaded for Mandelbulb 3d?

Many Thanks!

Oh check here http://www.fractalforums.com/index.php?action=downloads;cat=11  ;D

Thanks DB!

lol, amazing what we are all hosting ... *confused about what is going on in each corner of the forums....*

other 93 maps on http://photocomix2.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d4rzomy

Anyway M3D may use Maps for lighting, and for color objects, i designed mine mostly for the second task
(well most should be adapt to both task )
(and are very sensitive to offsetting, the minimum change in the x,y or z offset may considerably alter the effect
(i use the computer "<" and ">"to fine-tune their position because sliders tend to skip intermediate values )

Maps for sphere-bump, anyone? :horsie:

Is there downloadable colour palletes, or they must be saved manualy bay saving when looading other peoples fractals?

I found some palettes in a site, long time ago... Can not remember

how do you use palette in M3D ?

They mean Lights.

l think...

that would make more sense

BTW Darkbeam was joking about sphere mapping ?
there are tons of options that i discover little by little but if there are options for any kind of bump map should be very well hidden !

I think that was a reference to "SphereHeightMap" in the dIFS formulas.

That's how I made this:

(http://www.sockrateaze.com/stuff/li2b.gif)

I just used the same image for the Height Map and the Light Map  (had to flip one horizontally so they lined up properly).

ah..
sorry to bomb with question but i saw the option to apply a map to the light source, another to use a map to "object Color" but were is that to use a map as height map ?

It's a formula in the dIFS section:


EDIT : There's also HeightMapIFS if you want it planar instead of on a sphere.

now i got it..thanks

Other peoples fractals or other peoples parameters? *g
Don't post formulas, parameters or better any kind of fractal software! Is that what you mean?

hu..why not ?
sure somebody  may try to  wrote some "malicious" formula or parameter that will keep the computer busy rendering for a couple of weeks, just to get a blank image output
But what the gain for such malicious hacker when just clicking the "stop calculation " button the problem would be solved ?

Yes. I meant lights.

Someone with colour theory and some artistic background could share lights.

So i really got you wrong Asdam. Sorry for that.

Fractal trolls? rofl2 :surprised:

Fractal trolls with so severe myopia to not notice the "stop calculation" button :D

That is as unlikely as to find the holy grail by attempts ;)

I have some light to share. Actualy only antarctic and swamp are my creations, other are stolen, but I would vote for Pirate Party.

Here is 4 lights. I just want other to encourage to share lights.  (What are colour pallete + settings.)
