Hi,
this is not for users yet, but for people who enjoy exploring new formulas and want to play with them quickly (without the need to code them in ASM).
Please do not spread the link, especially not on dA or Facebook, as it is only a proof of concept.

The link below provides the new *.exe and an example-formula

In Formulas there is now a new section "[SOURCE]" where you can put your formula as Delphi-code.
Each formula should have the signature
Code:
procedure MyFormula(var x, y, z, w: Double; PIteration3D: TPIteration3D);
begin
  ...
end;
and may access the TPIteration3D_structure.
Any other structures like TPIteration3DExt are not defined yet (each you want to access must be defined for the JIT-compiler, because the compiler can not use the internal structures. ).

http://www.andreas-maschke.de/java/tmp/MB3D_JIT.zip

About performance: it is known that the JIT-version of a formula is slower than a native or ASM variant. But this one is for exploring and inventing new stuff with ease giving a nice overall performance.

Currently, you must edit them outside of MB3D with a text-editor, e.g. Notepad++

Hum, some questions now:
If I add an user variable to a custom formula how do I access it? Like
[OPTIONS]
.Version = 2
.DEscale = 1
.SIpower = 2
.Double Scale = 2.0

And difs/3DA/4D/4DA are still unsupported? Thanks infinitely A Beer Cup

Not supported yet (but on the TODO-list), you must hardcode all params for now

And difs/3DA/4D/4DA are still unsupported? Thanks infinitely A Beer Cup
You specify this by setting the .DEoption parameter

OK!!! In that mode you need to manually scale the DE, that is found in "w" variable (like in other formulas!!!) A Beer Cup It perfectly works Andreas you are genius!

@andreas do you plan to include used formulas in the save file? that can get really messy cheesy

Thank you all!
@Christian Do not know yet if I want to include the formulas in the file, the format is rather tricky, not sure yet if that is really desired. Any comments? :-)

I tried opening it up in Notepad++ and did a search for source.... but not sure which one

huh?huh?huh?huh?huh? what did you want to achieve by that?

@andreas i think it is just fine to NOT include it, but keeping a record of the exact version of a formula might be needed, since now the available formulas will get spread to infinity, regarding dynamic formula writing i believe an online archive of available formulas is the way to go, similar to what ultrafractal does with automatic downloading and such wink

what i find a bit tricky is that 2 mandelbulb renderers have completely different formula definition syntax (delphi/glsl) some sort of meta language to be transformed into both output formats would be worth a thought ... just sayin'
