Mandelbulber 1.12 - for Linux x86, Linux x64, Win32, Win64 and MacOS 32 and 64 bit

Open source program (GNU GPL) for rendering photo-realistic 3D fractals

Free download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mandelbulber/

- support for Full-dome rendering (tested in Olsztyn Planetarium and Astronomical Observatory - now I'm preparing HD 4k animations for them) - fish eye effect is improved and now is compatible with full-dome digital projectors (option "Fish eye 180 degree cut", FOV =1.0)

Layers!

Most awesome, as always. Thanks so much for this.

Small request:
I'm starting to tinker with the stereoscopic 3D rendering and noticed that it only outputs JPEG. Is it possible to have it select the image format from "Auto-save/animation image format" selection? I was thinking of doing some post-processing and color grading and I had the need for 16-bit image.

Also, does the 'depth of field focus point' determine the position where the sterescopic images converge?

Thanks again for the greatest fractal software. Ever. <3

i think, i found some kind of bug. when using positional light the alpha channel image gets unusable as black discs are created around the light sources.
anyhow a great new feature

Hello,

I have been enjoying Mandelbulber for a while now. Congrats on the programme.

The layers options looks very usefull. Awaiting a mac version with interest.

I saw a tutorial for making a 3d mesh from 3d fractals with many 'slices' of information.

I am assuming this can be applied to mandelbulber. Has anyone any experience/tips for doing this? (Before i blindly jump into it)

Amazing! Loving the true fulldome support. Looks fantastic on the dome and so immersive.

@esskay:  :embarrass: sorry being late but in a few days will be available.
A bite:
day version (gtk Leopard theme)
(http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/154/f/3/mandelbulber_giorno_gtk_leopard_by_bermarte-d523k0t.png)
and night version (nodoka theme)  :D
(http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/154/7/2/mandelbulber_notte_nodoka_midnight_by_bermarte-d523jum.png)
there are also other themes to apply to mandelbulber for mac; just type
/usr/local/mandelbulber/bin/gtk-chtheme inside terminal and press <enter> to select your theme and apply it.
One can always install a new theme (for linux or for win.) without troubles.
Now all the files are created without messing with macports  :hurt:

@bermarte

Thanks for the response, absolutely no apologies nessecary!

Oooh a nice dark theme, my favourite.... and thanks so much for the for the link. I will report back on the variety of pitfalls that await.





@ Weaver, needless to say i did not wait for tips.... i felt the need and did it.

I felt the need and did.
