Title: Mandelbulb 3D - How do I reset the Navi Screen to show the main window shot? Post by: Balok on January 17, 2017, 03:40:38 AM Greetings Fractalites.
I have a few repeated problems: 1. How clear/newly render the Navi Window ? 2. How does one more solid structures? my creations behave like liquids. Others " fly through" a cube - a 3 D space with a floor, ceiling and walls - like the fighter scenes in Star Wars on the Death Star etc. My cubes melt away and will not let me fly through the space - they disintegrate so to speak. I sincerely appreciate any help Puzzled in Fractalland. Title: Re: Mandelbulb 3D - How do I reset the Navi Screen to show the main window shot? Post by: ellarien on January 17, 2017, 04:01:58 AM Can you not get back to the main window view by hitting the 'Parameter' button on the Navi? Some people recommend periodically sending your view to an animation keyframe as a way of keeping a record of your progress, too. If you mean the program is crashing on you somehow, it could be bad parameters --- that happens sometimes -- or you might want to try a reinstall. Which version are you using?
If things disappear when you try to navigate, it usually means you've fallen through the backplane -- try hitting F2 until you see your structure again. And checking the box for HiQual mode can help, too. Title: Re: Mandelbulb 3D - How do I reset the Navi Screen to show the main window shot? Post by: Balok on January 17, 2017, 05:32:11 AM Thank you very much Ellarian, I made great progress, parameter reset is working and after checking HQ and toying with R/ Fold sliders - my structure looks much better and behaves much more like a solid.
It also appears at 100 % Navi size my extra Fx were hidden beneath the PC task bar. I'm feeling much more confident for the next test flight -my goal is to make a star wars style fly through. I forgot my high school math of exponents etc and grossly underestimated the power, range,scaling, etc of this program. - its like Photoshop, there are thousands of useful functions and an infinite # in combination. Its a remarkable thing for free - the quality of imagery it makes is stunning, I tried a sites tip on lowering lowering the raystep etc and wowarama - its out of this world if that is not redundant in this forum :o) Thanks again - you were of great help - a big confidence booster for a newbie- I think we Newbies expect to be piloting the X fighter through the Death Star on day 1 ...me thinks a few more flight lessons are in order.
