Title: Stuck inside some fractals
Post by: Joel Gafford on June 04, 2014, 03:23:59 AM
I love Mandelbulb 3D, but some times no matter what I do I can't get out from inside the fractal when I initially load it up.  Here's what my problem looks like.

I typically reset the position and rotation, try to fly around, even changing the parameters of the fractal, but to no avail.

It would be great if someone could explain what I should do as I would love to explore these various fractals I haven't had access to before.

Thanks!  :)

Hello,

This is not a bug. You are "inside" a full part of the fractal. You must move outside or change parameters.Try to open in 3DNAV the "part under" by clicking the narrow on the right of "lightness". Then click the box "fixed zoom and step" and change the value in "sliding+walking step" by a bigger one. Now try to move again..

Thanks for the reply, pulsar.  The technique you explained works for some of the fractals, but not all of them.  I'll keep practicing though and fiddling around with it.
