END OF AN ERA, FRACTALFORUMS.COM IS CONTINUED ON FRACTALFORUMS.ORG

This new improvement opens a giant field of exploring
Tomorrow i will try the inner radius fold, this formula
if r<inrad
r=2inrad-r
then r is used for inversion etc... This should fill those empty spaces inside hypermengers

Quoting myself ...


I checked it and yes, when the formula file is copied to the application data folder by Mandelbulb 3D, the current date is assigned, which results in the copied file being 'newer' than the one in the original folder ...

(So, when you try to use an outdated formula file, realize that it does not work, and then download and extract the newer version, you will always encounter this problem)

More folding modes added!

edit, mode "3" no longer exists, now it's mode "2"

"_Folding1" should do it 

Had to look at this again, that are one of the first external formulas i made...
its like  z' = z+abs(z-2*fold)-abs(z-fold)-fold
so a folding affecting the positive axis (attached a graph of it, the green line. The red line was an attempt of a smooth spherical folding, but the results were disappointng).

@Lucas:
Giving formulas more options tend to cause problems, because the new values will be initialized more or less randomly!
So old parameters could not work anymore what can be really annoying if you continue an animation rendering with this formula and things screw up.
My advice would be to give the new formulas a different name!
And to overcome the huge formula count, i try to make some kind of formula hiding of unwanted ones or something...

Thank you!
