Why?

Because of the way MB3D is built, formulas are all in Assembly Language and there is no easy way to convert them.

So far only a few people here have managed to write new formulas MB3D can read.

Plus, the original programmer, Jesse, moved on a while ago, and new releases were made by Thargor6 (who knows how difficult such a thing would be!). But he has had to slow his efforts on the software as well.

Yet another member had a start-and-stop effort reworking MB3D into a more modern, 64 bit, version.  But again, had to take an indefinite break.

I'd advise making a feature request of the creator of whatever fractal generator to which you wish to import theses parameters.  Ask them for an MB3D Import feature.  It's far more likely to happen than an export feature from MB3D!

I think MB3D's source code is available publicly.  If not, I am sure that the programmer of your software of choice can get a copy of it from one of the people here.

I Hope that helps.



EDIT:  Oops...

I thought you asked about importing them to a Flame Fractal Thing, in which case the formula + Parameters would be needed to get the whole thing working.


I re-read it and I see you just want to read the code like that sort of code!

I should never post before I have my Coffee!!

The rest of the post was left in case it has any bearing, but I think I just misunderstood the question...   hurt

I wanted to say that it should be a relatively straightforward change to the save/load methods, duplicating them and working in ASCII/UTF-8 instead of binary+maybe compression+uuencode... but then I looked at the code to try to identify the parts which need changing, found a million "magic numbers" and no clear save/load point... yeah I don't know, maybe it's not so easy lips are sealed

(I'm also curious about whether that much-lauded MB3D rewrite/reboot will actually happen, after all the hubbub over renaming it etc!)
