Title: Preparing the MB3D 1.90 release: pls help
Post by: thargor6 on November 23, 2015, 02:50:26 AM
Hi guys,
some of you my have already noticed, I'm currently working on the V1.90 release of the MB3D software, which will come very soon.
As usual, it will be released in this forum as it is the work of all the people of this forum.

To prepare the release, I have to ask for help in the following things:
1. Recently, there are lots of great (M Benesi- :D)formulas around, could anybody please send me a list, which of them should/could be included into the release?
2. When you have any ressource (formula, maps, params) you want to have included, please send me a note/link.
3. Can anybody please tell me how and where to upload the final archive, when done, into this forum? (Would be bad, if it would be at the wrong place at the first place and we had to change the link).

Best regards and thanks,
Andreas

  All the formulas are for the community, if there was any question as to whether I wanted to contribute and be a part of it.   :tease:

  I'll try and consolidate them, set naming conventions (check with Luca on that one), and remove duplicate formula types.  

Update:  changed .DEoption for the transforms in the archive to -1 so that they show up in the "Ads" section. 

  If you think that the formula names are short enough (maybe change polyhedronfromsphere to PhedronFromSphere or something...), we're golden.  

List of them:

thargor, that is fantastic news, having it published here is just fantastic, i am assigning you download-area access, all mandelbulb versions have been uploaded to here:
 http://www.fractalforums.com/index.php?action=downloads;cat=5

you should then be able to create a new download item containing the release, you are now assigned to the admin-download rights, check if you see an "add download" option in the above link

Andreas you can also add my formula archive (sticky topic)
That also has some older Benesi formulas in :)
Great job you are doing my friends.
Cheers... :)

  BenesiT1 is BT1_Transform1.m3f in the archive I posted, BenesiT2...  

  The spheric and unSpheric coordinate transforms are duplicated by PolyhedronToSphere and PolyhedronFromSphere....

  I also edited the descriptions, and added an option to do multiple Transform 1s every iteration for the newer version of BenesiPine1, which is called BT1Pine in the formula archive I just posted.  BenesiPine2 I changed to BT2Pine... etc.

So there are a couple of duplicate formulas between the 2 formula packs... and I didn't fix the DE options in the new one, so will have to check it and compare it to Luca's versions.  


Update:  the above formula pack has been updated with correct .DEoption = -1 statement for the transforms (so they show up in the Ads menu!).  


Update2:  I posted formula descriptions in the "a few formulas for Luca" thread. (http://www.fractalforums.com/index.php?topic=22572.msg88033#msg88033)

Looking forward for a tutorial.  :embarrass:

I'm so excited.  are there many updates or just a polishing and official release?

i would love to be able to use more heightmaps at a time (more than 3).

The goal is to have new features for each "type" of user. E.g. users who like to create animations will be able to use animated maps.

Andreas, are you the only one who is developing MB3D ?

Will it be released before Christmas ?

Yes, and yes
Could you describe what is the roadmap for MB3D?
Will you change the render lighting and workflow in 1.9 ?
What will be key new features?

Not planned, but why I should change them/what do you miss?

Nothing, I was just wondering about render updates.
Thanks!
