Quick formula question

In which software you can make formulas for MB3D. I'll also need a quick tutorial how to

It's not particularly easy to do.  MB3D formulas get written in something very close to Assembly language.  Of all our members only one has ever been able to do it!

Darkbeam (AKA Luca) is the one to ask if you are very brave and patient and have insane programming skills!  Otherwise, no other options exist since development has ceased and the programmer of MB3D (Jesse) has moved on and no longer even visits here much, if at all  

Sorry I don't have better news.

[DarkBeam]

Yeah so true.

[Glitchraptor]

Ok, but you didn't answer my question.

[youhn]

I'll answer then. There is no specific software for that. Also no quick tutorial. Words like quick and fractal formulas don't really mix well.

Ok, but you didn't answer my question.

Sure I did!

Did you ask him?  

Here's a quick tutorial then;

This is the Mandelbox Formula:

Code:

[OPTIONS]
.Version = 4
.DEscale = 0.2
.DEoption = 11
.RStop = 1024
.SIpower = 2
.Double Scale = 2
.Boxscale Min R = 0
.Double Fold = 2
.Double Scale vary = 0
.Double FoldXMod = 0
.Double FoldYMod = 0
.Double FoldZMod = 0

You write MB3D Formulas in a plain text editor.  

That makes sense to those who know Assembly Language somehow.

It's beyond most, but if you want to know more - as I said - ask Luca (DarkBeam) as he is literally the only person besides the now-retired creator of the program to ever publicly confirm understanding what all that gibberish means!

[cKleinhuis]

Ok, but you didn't answer my question.

you can write formulas in plain c code, and compile that particular formula to be provides as compiled binary to the program, until now only one person has managed to write formulas for mb3d ... and this one man show is held by: darkbeam!

[DarkBeam]

Lol. I never used the c code because I was never able to get a running script out of it. With OllyDbg I can test and "run" the code semi-easily
But don't ask for a tutorial... nope I had to study a lot and nothing is easy in assembly.

[DarkBeam]

So either:
Study assembly, study the theory of fractals and try by yourself like I do.
Wait for the magic tutorial.

Glitchraptor you had your answer! Have a nice day.
