Mandelbulb3D 1.9.0 OPEN BETA

[fractalgee]

I havn't had time to do heavy testing, but it seems to work fine for me om Mac using slock's wrapper: http://www.fractalforums.com/mandelbulb-3d/mandelbulb-3d-for-mac-!-%28with-updates-!%29/

I am talking about 1.90 final beta, the 1.90 alpha version works fine under Wine, as does the 1.89v2 version.

Edit: Resolved this by recompiling wine from source, now the final beta is working as it should, so far so good!

So do I, I uploaded it from this thread... (I do get the 24.12.2015 isn't a valid date error though..)

A few bugs - just found them and don't have time to completely verify all of them, but thought I should report:
1. Pressing Reset in formulas doesn't bring back the original bulb, but a somewhat melted looking version of it, with the same formula. A previous time I tried this, and a very different image came up, but it still read in the Formula window as Integer Power.
2. I made a series of simple edits and saved incrementally. The program crashed (can't recall what I was doing) and when I restarted and open 4 of the 5 files I had saved, they all had the same params - as if I had saved the same file over and over again.
3. The Navi window only resizes using the arrows, but not using the corners, as I have read some are able to do - I am on a Win 7 system.

Over all -  I am very pleased with the work you have done, Andreas - as always! Thank you!

I thought that the alpha version supported 10 formulas, the final is back to 6. I deleted the alpha by mistake, so can't check, but what happened to that feature?

Would have been very much additional work (e. g. rewrite of some formulas and the need for a whole family of new file-format-revisions), but actually no user demanded it, so it  was dropped for now, will come probably later (in any form).

All good Andreas, much appreciated! The mutagen is awesome, not yet worked all the other stuff enough to have found any serious issues, just some sliders that seem to not want to draw in the default thee until used. But otherwise working fine thus far. More than 6 formulas would be sometimes nice (especially if working with dIFSs, but not a priority, just wondering....

In JIT:
If one of the arguments is removed (say w) and then pressing save+exit -> It says compilation successfull then crashes. The file is not saved.

I love the eight formula version!  the only problems i saw with it are in the navi. a couple of minor formula swap and shift bugs aren't really a problem and i assume easily fixed.

is great for ifs.
i did a decombinated alternating rotation transoform- tiled- gear- helix- video using all eight formulas.

Nice video!

The enhanced formula-slots will come back, for sure, would have been to many changes at once.

Cheers!

Sweet.  now about a ten formula version...lol...jk.

You're doing great work Thargor and i really appreciate all you done.  I understand trying to improve on Jesse's Legacy is a tedious process and you're trying to do things right.  I can't wait for what the New Year brings.

Merry Christmas to everyone involved @ FractalForums

Excellent job!  I absolutely love the MutaGen module. So much fun to play with.

However, I found a typo. The tooltip of the "Calculate 3D" button shows "Sart ..." instead of "Start ...".
