Mandelbuld 3D v1.8.6 beta-2 test

Height Maps from Interwebs, Photoshop & Bryce.

Bryce exports 16 Bits/Channel grayscale PNG's from Terrain Editor.

Nice stuff, and an interesting way to experiment with different height maps   

Here's an old  height map I did when the feature was first introduced  (Spherical Height Map, if memory serves):

I attached the image used for a height map, it wasn't meant to be a height map, but I was playing - and I don't play by the rules!
