Title: Some questions about coding formulas and more
Post by: smadar on June 03, 2015, 07:11:55 AM
Hello
i'm am new to MendelBulb and fractals world.
don't know to program at all.
i'd like very much to use my models ( done withe Maya and Zbrush)
in MandelBulb. also i want to know how to write formulas
i want to create my own world and not just playing with parameters as i'm doing now.
thank you
Smadar

Is the question like "It's possible import a 3d model in mandelbulb3d"?...
If I guessed answer is no. ;)

You can produce your formulas... but you must learn C :) good luck

Thank you. i wish i could do magic and learn c in 1 day. Ok, i'll see if my brain can deal with that.

so, you have quite ambitious plans there, before you start writing your own formulas, you have to understand what is the nature of such formulas,
i have a rough introduction video made which tries tro explains Distance Estimated based rendering

This is great cKleinhuis. Thank you. I'll explore Chaos. i know well the 3d digital world. I'm a 3d artist
but never wrote a script, and very new to fractals world. trying to learn C now/
thank you again :)

 :surprised: ... :laugh: ... :banginghead:

With expectations like that ..... good luck! You're going to need it.

But oh well, you mention words like "wish", "could" and "magic". That pretty much sums it up, yeah. But learning (a bit of) C is easy compared to understanding the formulas (depending on your level in math).

Every journey begins with a first step. Take your time, and don't be easily discouraged. It'll be worth it. :)
