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

Hello from Hameln!

I came across Mandelbulb yesterday and I am very fond of fractals (even though I do not really understand the mathematics behind it).
I rendered my first fractal with "appleman" on my C64 in the late 1980's (it needed about 12 hours). I am a hobby-musician (techno
and trance) and I will publish some of my tracks within the next 12 months. As my budget is ... zero ... (married, two children - you see?)
I have to do the cover-Art on my own. And what is more suitable to this kind of music than a nice 3D-fractal Artwork?

What I ask myself and you: Is the use of the fractals generated with Mandelbulb free and if so, may I also use the delivered formula "presets" for (hopefully successful) commercial purposes? I would certainly put an "artwork done with Mandelbulb3d" into the booklet

Best Regards

Shanake

I just played around a little bit, added some Formula here, changed some parameters there and - tadaaa - I love it.
The examples are so special, as there are sometimes several objects and light-sources combined. There is much to
learn. But I agree: Using the hard work of others looks crappy. So I will take the hard and stony way which will give
me more satisfaction in the end.

I just asked, because of the immense amount of formula (so frightening). But after some trial-and-error-play I figured
out the basic basics.

Thanks

Shanake
