Title: _gnarl2d problem
Post by: rurik2000 on January 12, 2016, 11:16:44 PM
Hello
When I use _gnarl2d as my 1st formula, I get an error "formula is not valid".  I have the formula installed...
Is there a specific usage for it?
I'm trying to re-create something like this

Thanks!

It's an add-on/transform formula.  

  If you want to be able to use it as a stand alone formula (it will move from the "ADs" menus to the "3D" menus in your formula tabs), open up the .m3f file with a text editor, and change .DEoption from -1 to 1:

Code:
[OPTIONS]
.Version = 2
.DEoption = -1         <-------- right here.   change it to 1 instead of -1   Don't write this part
.Double Strength = 1.03     or this... unless you use // to make it a comment.  Which might not work.
.Double X step = 0.1        // so don't write stuff here!!!  EVER!!! DON"T!!!  
.Double Y step = 0.1  //  if you aren't panicking yet, it's time to start.  
.Double Alpha = 3.0
.Double Beta = 2.0   //  what are you waiting for??
..........dotdotdot...etc.etc.dotdotdot...

do this:

.DEoption = 1
