Title: New to Mandelbulb3d Questions
Post by: DragonMage on February 14, 2016, 10:05:25 PM
Hello!!!! I am brand new to this forum, but not to fractals in general. I have done quite a bit with mandelbulber2, but am having some issues with mandelbulb 3d. I just started to learn it, but it is extremely confusing an i have some questions, Thank you!
So, my first question is, where do you find asurf2? Ive looked all around for it and have seen great things done on it but can't find it.
How do you give it more memory to render higher res images. I have a 32G computer but it only lets me go like at 7K res....
It there any tricks to getting stuff that looks good in mandelbulb3d, or a tutorial? Ive done so pretty good stuff  in mandelbulber, but mandelbulb 3d, just donesnt look as good.
Thank you!!!!

You can run  M3D on 64 bit Win7, but it is still a 32 bit application, so you are limited to 4GB and there's no speed increase. Just invest in multiple and fast cores!
