Title: new member Post by: gerard82 on July 15, 2013, 12:12:43 AM Hi to all of you.
I'm from the Netherlands. Since I can't draw or paint I want to try my hand at fractals. I'm a Gimp user and became a member of GimpChat forum. There I saw fractals by PhotoComix. I understood he was using Mandelbulb and I wanted to make similar things. I am using Gentoo Linux exclusively so I installed mandelbulber. I tried all kinds of settings but the results were nowhere near what PhotoComix showed on GimpChat. Today I googled "mandelbulber3d" and that's how I got to this site. I can now run it in Linux w/o having to install Windows thanks to "wine". So far I've only installed it and started it. As for myself I'm an 86 years old retired electronics engineer. My health is not great but that's what comes with ageing. I'm sure I'll be back with questions. Gerard.

that pushes the average age in the forums a little higher ;) so, for starting with mandelbulber and scene setup, photocomix does tutorials as well, just search it on google, beside of that, it is really much try and fail, some things might be hard to achieve or not that easy to find in the user interface, for getting a general understanding what is going on behind the scenes you might find my little youtube show interesting, here i explain the math behind the mandelbox http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yeANz-sxWA this should give you just an idea of what is needed to calculate a fractal, looking forward seeing your efforts Title: Re: new member Post by: hgjf2 on July 15, 2013, 08:48:35 AM Wow!
This movie no must to be at CHAOS TV chapter? I can't stand how to reach at this topic, this movie seem to lost through chapter and in wrong topic. :hmh: :confused: :smileysmileys: :mandy: Title: Re: new member Post by: cKleinhuis on July 15, 2013, 09:16:58 AM Wow!

Other fora I'm on send me a mail when a reply is made to a topic I wrote. Is this not normally done on FF? Do I have to configure something? Gerard. Title: Re: new member Post by: cKleinhuis on July 15, 2013, 02:12:53 PM yes, in the settings of your profile page you have a menu entry called "Notifications and Email " there you have to check the " Turn notification on when you post or reply to a topic. " option, default is off

Greetings, and a belated welcome to this particular forum !!! :D Was wondering how your exploration into the Mandelbulb is going?? Have heard nothing from you since this initial Topic that you posted back in July. |
