I have recently started using Mandelbulb 3D by Jesse and it's a cool program. I have viewed the Videos by Don Whitaker. Read many posts here and some found and read through Google search. I came
across some images I would like to know how to get somewhere in the ballpark in creating  (I do not want to re-create them but a set up for the natural plant life and landscape parameters)
Here's the links.

I think it's done by a combo of abox + foldingintpow or only foldingintpow or who knows. Welcome alien

Hi and welcome!

Darkbeam may be right but why don't you ask the author? However, even if he divulges his secret there is a minimum chance to reproduce these shapes. I seriously suggest to go your own way and find something better. wink

I re-read what I wrote and I meant Formulas instead of Parameters that are more organic. I guess I'm looking for an Encyclopedia of the Formulas to see what they do which might give some insight into how to combine them. As I said, I'm not trying to re-create the persons work.

DarkBeam. I'm confused on this I guess because of the siren smiley. Is there a tool that you can type the Formula into and it tells you what the Formula does basicly?

Try clicking the "i" next to a formula  name.  That tells about each formula's properties, but combining them - that's trial and error.  What combines nicely with one formula could produce garbage combining with another.

Good Luck!

Don't worry, it's a joke since you normally can not guess which formulas (or which program! cheesy) are/is used simply looking at an image. But sometimes I guess correctly wink

have fun
