Title: Fractal Explorer 3D, how to use? Post by: chaos_crystal on March 14, 2013, 07:16:07 PM Does anyone know how to do this? I have no clue what I'm doing wrong. I do have the Landscape library files in my Fractal Explorer main directory, and I can access the 3D maker if I go in and click the '.exe' file. But for some reason I cannot access it via the FE main frame when I have a 2D fractal displaying there. It always gives me the warning message, "You cannot open Fractal Explorer Landscape Library ! and etc." and gives the link to the old downloading page...
As any one using FE knows, there's a little button at the top near the 'gradient' and 'size' and other tabs that plainly indicates that we should be able to convert a 2D image into 3D, like, voila'. To just go in and choose the 'exe' file in the Landscapes library folder, it just ain't the same! Online there's a small tut for this too, but it doesn't show how to actually convert existing 2D fractals with the 3D function. Any help on this would be soooooo much appreciated... I'll buy you a sweet tea...or even a beer, if preferred :beer: Title: Re: Fractal Explorer 3D, how to use?

Now you can make a little donation to Fractal Forums instead of buying me a beer. ;D Title: Re: Fractal Explorer 3D, how to use?

I assume you are aware that the 3D part is a primitive terrain, water (translucent, O0), clouds and sky generator, with texture mapping. Limited resolution. It was fun and easy to use but has been superseded by better actual 3D fractal programs. cheers Title: Re: Fractal Explorer 3D, how to use? Post by: Haven on November 13, 2015, 04:36:33 PM hey, so uhmm....could I just ask you for all of it please? :D you even have a newer version then I do (I have only 2.02ú). I didnt expect wonders from the 3D, just curious how would it work together with fractals :) aaand...I c u have a compiler, I presume thats the file that allows you to write your own code? :) thanks a lot!, I realyy have only the basic program. too bad the development stopped :( its a good program. |
