Wut's good~

[Bluesummers89]

So here's the deal, I was introduced to the fractals on DeviantArt after which I was captivated by it's simplistic and yet infinite beauty. After which I was sucked into the apophysis community and is which where I learned of the late, grate, Benoît B. Mandelbrot. He truly is a mathematical in the fields of fractal geometry. But then...I went away for like 3 years. But now I want to rejoin the fractal community and with newer programs such as mandelebulb3D, it seams fitting that I rejoin the community at such a time. Anyways, I hope to make new friends and learn new things here.

I'ma go smoke now. 

OH! and a script~For apo users.

welcome!

I had also played with older fractal programs (Kai's Power Tools way back when, and about a year ago found Apophysis).  But, I had recently seen some pics of a 3D mandelbulb (I think on Digg), and immediately tried to find software to make them.  I used Mandelbulber first, which is capable of some really great stuff.  But, then I found Mandelbulb 3D and there's no turning back now!  I'm addicted...  I like the interface a lot, and Jesse seems to update that thing every few weeks and its always better!
Glad to have you aboard, and can't wait to see your creations.

Ohhh, yeah I wanna know how to use mandelbulb so bad! I don't even know where to download it. And even if I had it, I don't know what to do.
