Title: Mandelbulber 1.04 Post by: Buddhi on June 26, 2011, 10:53:56 AM Mandelbulber 1.04 - for Linux x86, Linux x64 and Win32 (will be also for MacOS)
Open source program (GNU GPL) for rendering photo-realistic 3D fractals Free download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mandelbulber/ Website: http://sites.google.com/site/mandelbulber/ User manual: http://sites.google.com/site/mandelbulber/user-manual Tutorial for creating animations: http://sites.google.com/site/mandelbulber/getting-started New features in version 1.04: - Setting files consists only parameters different than default. Files are much shorter and easier to paste on internet forums. - Settings can be pasted/copied using clipboard from/to text editor or internet browser - Added "Benesi" formula - Added "MandelboxVaryScale4D" formula - Added "Aexion" formula - Added "Bistorbrot" formula - Added offset value for spherical folding in Mandelbox formula - Added image proportion selection on Image tab - Added Random() function into raymarching process. When there are some render artifacts, random noise looks better. Added the same into volumetric lighting shader. - Corrected some typos in messages and labels - Added disabling of raytraced reflections in AutoDEStep() function - Improved adjustments for raytraced reflections - Eliminated all compiler errors and warnings generated by new GCC 4.6 - Replaced "char *" by "const char *" where possible (This avoids explicit casts of string literals to "char *", which are potentially dangerous). Thanks to Martin Reinecke for code improvement.

Title: Re: Mandelbulber 1.04 Post by: taurus on June 28, 2011, 11:27:44 AM glad to see, that the project is still in progress. didn't have time to test the new formulas, but the copy/paste function is a nice start for seeding parameters.
at least in my case of use, it has one big disadvantage. it completely ignores the palette while copying. and it overwrites the loaded palette with the default one while pasting. as i allways use my own palettes, the copied params only contain a comic of the original image. see http://www.fractalforums.com/gallery-b177/paper-dragon/ (http://www.fractalforums.com/gallery-b177/paper-dragon/) for details anyway, a nice new step for the project. thanks buddhi, thanks martin! Title: Re: Mandelbulber 1.04 Post by: Buddhi on June 28, 2011, 08:17:27 PM I decided to not include colour palette in copy/paste function. It makes this text much shorter. For me colour palette is not important to share, because pasting of parameters on forums is to share combination of fractal parameters. Looking for proper fractal parameters is the most difficult thing. Rest is an artistic invention, and it should be open. Every user should find own style of colors and special effects.
Of course there is still possible to paste on forum the complete text from settings file (it is also a little "compressed") with colour palette information. It will work when you copy this text form website to Mandelbulber. Program will use palette from clipboard. I will observe opinions about this option and if many people say that it is wrong, I will add copying palette into clipboard. But then I will change format of this information, because now colour palette sting is too long.
