Title: Look forward to learning about fractals Post by: vinniefracker on January 28, 2013, 04:06:30 PM I look forward to eventually pushing the envelope on this fractal thing to help me communicate.
I plan to start with Mandelbulb because that seems to be the most "accessible" 3D fractal app available, and it is free javascript:void(0). I noticed that a lot f the tutorials seem to be done on PCs.I am on a Mac so I am particularly interested in learning about any advantages, limitations and quirks on the Mac format. Thanks to all for this site. Title: Re: Look forward to learning about fractals Post by: bib on January 29, 2013, 12:07:59 PM Welcome to FF!
You don't need to post multiple similar messages in different sections of the forums. I advise you to look at the most recent posts (you'll find the link towards the bottom of the homepage). Mandelbulb3D is a PC program but many Mac users play with via different mechanisms. I don't know anything about Mac but it seems to work the same as on PC. For some time I have used in on Linux via Wine. I think the links to tutorials have been provided to you in another post. I would suggest to google "Mandelbulb3D tutorials" as well ;) Enjoy! Title: Re: Look forward to learning about fractals Post by: vinniefracker on January 29, 2013, 08:20:55 PM Thanks for the feedback. I have some difficulty knowing to which categories my queries belong or what is a "similar" question, but I will work on it. I recognize and respect the issues of multi-posting the same questions.
From one question I asked, I was pointed to a solution under another topic listing. I took it that I should ask the question there so I re-stated the question. Would you consider this re-posting a similar question or should I expect that whoever reads that question is aware of my previous question? I came to FF from a search for Mandelbrot and Mac. I found that there was some discussion from Mac users but I have not figured the best place to get help from people who are using Mandelbulb on Macs. It is rather a waste of time to ask questions or read about solutions which will not work on my computer. Can you give me some advice on this? Thanks again for your help.
