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

woah, sharp and excellent!
you got parameter files or bigger resolution ? ( for background image usage )

I have parameter files, but the colors are different.

Alot of the time, I will render a fractal one way, then mess around with the colors and lighting afterward.  This usually results in 2 or 3 of the same image, but with different color.  The color sequence with this is the Slime preset, but with the interior color changed so the brot comes up light blue, instead of pink.

That being said, here's the params:

BTW, thanks for  all the compliments and praise.

How do I load that text into the program?

I copied and pasted into a text document and rename to .m3p but to no avail...

am I stupid?

  kickass Rev... 

Very cool to see, yeah.  I hope you don't mind, Rev, but I'm rendering an interesting (hopefully) anim showing some interesting progressions within the params you set forth.   Honestly, I have no idea when it will be done (it would probably finish more quickly if I weren't running another instance of Maldelbulb3D rendering an anim, UF5, FX and Mandelbulber at the same time.  Oh, yeah, and the new version of MDZ...), but I'll let you know!

It's a 3D fractal, in Mandelbulb 3D, based on a trick I learned from bib.  You set the mandelbulb (Integer) to power 2 and cut along the Z dimension.  This gives you the full mandelbrot set to zoom and explore.  The spherical appearance is acheived by setting a higher than 30 setting on the camera FoV.

The Rev

Well now I see what I was doing wrong. Cutting along the wrong plane and in the wrong position. Playing with the cut along the zero Z plane, it has good navigational possibilities - you can explore a 3d fractal as you would the Mandelbrot set and find some interesting locations and then remove the cut.
