Title: Mandelbulb3D
Post by: karlnz on March 14, 2017, 08:32:06 PM
Since yesterday every "calculate 3D" comes up with an error message that a formula is missing.

I have Mandelbulb3D running on my Toshiba laptop TECRA and was up  to now very happy with its performance.

Now I cannot properly generate any jpg image (by opening an m3p).
I have the feeling that somehow I changed a setting so that now the program cannot find any formula anymore.
I have tried in vain to find the requested formula anywhere.
Up to yesterday Mandelbulb3D.exe worked perfectly.

Now it says "Check ini-dir for formulas". What exactly does this mean?

I don't know much about Mandelbulb3D , so be very clear with your answer.

Please email your answer to karlscherer333@yahoo.com

Thanks a lot for any help.

You can check your initial directory paths from the main window's top bar, there select 'Prefs' tab and hit the 'Ini Dirs' button. Check that formulas folder path is valid in order to Mandelbulb3D to be able to load the formulas, define the correct path if necessary. If you prefer, with notepad you can also directly edit the Mandelbulb3D.ini file, found in the Mandelbulb3D's program folder.
