Mandelbulber 1.15

Open source program (GNU GPL) for rendering photo-realistic 3D fractals
Free download (executables and source): http://sourceforge.net/projects/mandelbulber/
Website:       http://www.mandelbulber.com/
User manual: http://wiki.mandelbulber.com/index.php?title=User_Manual

New features in version 1.15:

- NetRender works as a client also in -nogui mode. Possible to run clients without graphics environment (from terminal).
- Added light sources based on orbit traps (thousands of lights without slowing down of rendering). Examples are in my gallery:

     http://krzysztofmarczak.deviantart.com/art/IFS-074-364058528?q=gallery%3Akrzysztofmarczak&qo=3

SVN repository: http://mandelbulber.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
This repository is available from Google Code: http://code.google.com/p/mandelbulber/

Please give me any feedback about experiences with NetRender. It still could be a little buggy.

How to run network clients without GUI:

To establish connection first you have to start all clients, then enable the server and click "scan". It should find automatically all clients and show number of them (clients will also confirm connection). After this disable "scan" function. Finally it's ready for rendering.

Example of command line:
mandelbulber -nogui -ip 192.168.0.2 -port 5555 -lowmem
   where:
-ip - IP addres of server
-port - network port of server (default is 5555)
-nogui - starts application without GUI
-lowmem (recomended) - disables functions which consume memory - it reduces memory usage dramatically in noGUI mode and there is no difference in rendering

When clients are run in -lowmem mode, server MUST be also started with -lowmem parameter

Great, this is exactly what I was looking for.  Good work on Mandelbulber as always.

May I ask why the low memory mode is recommended?  If all of my machines have 2GB memory, might I as well not use that mode?

Because I assume that you will use NetRender for creating large images. It allows to achieve much higher resolution. Ofcourse if you will render animations -lowmem mode will be not needed.
