Title: Error in Ruckerbulb fixed
Post by: DarkBeam on February 18, 2011, 10:12:16 AM
See release topic. Plus released two new formulas; Lambda commutative & non-commutative. Commutative is squarry while non-commutative is roundy  ;D

IF YOU ALREADY LOADED WRONG FORMULAS IN YOUR PROGRAM PLEASE LOAD AGAIN THE CORRECT VERSIONS; USE THE "OPEN" BUTTON WITH THE FOLDER SYMBOL AND THEN SELECT BARNSLEY4DC AND BARNSLEY2_4DC. ELSE YOU WILL CONTINUE TO USE THE WRONG VERSION!

SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE

Fixed another error in Lambda (commutative); the error is evident only when you use different constants for dx,dy,dz,dw; the dw constant was never read and the dz was readed twice... Now all constants are correctly readed and the sums are like they are supposed to be. :dink:

SORRY (again) FOR THE INCONVENIENCE
:embarrass: (But I guess this affects only the two users that downloaded the prev archive) :dink:

I would suggest to add a version number of some sort to each version so we know without doubt if we are using the last update.
And of course Luca, :thumbsup1: thank you very much for all your effort in organizing all this beautiful mess :)

I'm sorry for lack of precision. I was talking of the name of the file, which is always "final.zip". :embarrass:

No please, it's already hard deal with those formulas without name changes!  :'(


Title: Error in _Sin4DPlus fixed
Post by: DarkBeam on March 12, 2011, 10:52:02 AM
Sorry for this. Really! :embarrass: I checked so many times but I mistaken once more. :hurt:

Sin4D formula computed always only sin(x) skipping y,z,w. The result was wrong, but somewhat beautiful. :D

So, for those who need to keep the old effect I leave the old formula here, attached in the first post. Future MB releases will not have the wrong formula again. ^-^ Now I will update the database.

Comment - I am wondering to make a "function collection" that computes a function of the real part only (x) leaving unchanged everything else, can be great. :)

More than an error this is a "logic fix". Ruckerbulb as I released it before was "right handed". No fractal is like that, so when you tried to render a hybrid it came up really weird :-\

I had to switch some signs to restore the correct aspect, now it looks normal again ;D
