Welcome to Fractal Forums

I made this .m3l collection after I realised that there is not much publicly aviable colour files unless you do them by yourself, and becouse after finding good fractal spot it's pretty easy to just slice colours and look, which fitts the best.

Colour palettes are derived from different sources, some are my original creations, some are other peoples colours, but wast majority are ultimately traced back to Fractint public collection. As in Fractint all visual effects depends solelly on premade colour palettes, it have quite a few atmospheric time tested colour files like reptilian "dragon" or bunch of gradients simulating metallic shine.
p.s.
Colours are never too much.

EDITED:

Additional 16  Mandelbulb3D colours and lights ( EM_Mandelbulb3D_Colours_2.zip ).


I made additional colour collection, becouse first one lacked certain things. First, there weren't rainbow colours. Second, since it was derived from Fractint public colection, it was very colourfull, but IMHO had not enought natural, earthy and pastel palettes. Third, I had rugged hybrids, which whom only some colours fitted. And fourth, menger fractals like colour on 2. choice. Here I concentrated of having quality ower quantity.

Do and include these .m3l whatever and how you like.

Alsou here is link to another pack. Less so colours, but more of lights by Ellen:

Thx!  :beer:

Thanks... much appreciated.

Thank you very much! It's a great collection.  :D

Added 16 more colours so together there is 60 different colours. I found unsophisticated PWC Ultra Fractal / Fractint colourmaps qute an usefull, and added some more natural tones.

Thx  !

Maybe this thread could be made sticky?

done, and moved into tutorials section

Thank a lot, if easy find and create color maps ..color-maps but not lights , your pack is really welcome !

Thanks for the second one too... helping visualize easier and faster!

Thanks for a kind words and sharing. Actualy I were looking in gallery trying to notice familiar colours;)

Corel Photo Paint had some colour gradients for fill tool. At copyrights copyrighted were pantotene colors and "traditional colours of Nippon" but not these, and this is not comercial + some other colours and fog effect .m3l files. All were tested on some rotboxes. Didn't wanted make this especialy big package.

So EM_Mandelbulb3D_Colours_3.zip with 17 new colour files.

Thank you so much!
I've had a hard time finding nice colours - this makes having fun so much easier!

Thank for the light pack was really helpful

How you like be credited (do you have a Gallery on DA or somewhere  else or giving this link )

I could save some renders that i was deleting you did really a excellent work

Thanks for a kind words.
Hmm, credits, I don't know. I do have deviant art profile http://edo555.deviantart.com/ (http://edo555.deviantart.com/) but I use it more like as artless upload service, and I prefare my youtube channel instead http://www.youtube.com/user/antifacio (http://www.youtube.com/user/antifacio)

However, maybe a link to this thread would be more usefull, as this have 3 zip files, and I alsou had an idea of making colours based on Mark Rothko paintings.

cool

i tweaked  4, 2  i believe derive from " Crayon colour" but with a more extreme colour scheme as you may see here

http://photocomix2.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d5r5xcz

I zipped with my other previous attempts , the tweaked preserve the original name as part of the new name (except "trippy )

All here, in the attachment below

it is absolutly wonderfull color and shape

Thank you for sharing :)

thank you very much  :dink:

Thanks. this is just what I'm looking for.
Do you create them from inside an Mandelbulb image or are you saving them from other software. I have some gradients love to pull in from other programs but doubt they are in the same format. I have newly come from Frax, which allows you to open any image from your Camera Roll into the fractal you are creating. It then pulls its gradient into the fractal, where you can tweak frequency etc through touch or sliders. I am finding Mandelbulb and Ultrafractal frustrating after the wonderful colours (and ease of adding them) which I have been used to.

Hello  :D
This is a beautiful thing for the software frax
Sadly
still disposnible for windows Os  :angry:

Thank you for the wonderful lighting presets ;D I have not been around these forums much and I came here today looking for lighting presets.  I do my lighting manually but it is nice to have some presets to stat with.  Then it is matter of tweaking the settings rather than starting from scratch.

Lighting can take an otherwise dull structure and turn it into a very interesting picture.

Thank you muchly!   :thumbsup1:
