I would like to say hello and that I'm very sorry for not finding the forum in a more timely fashion.
I'm also known as liazrdqueen on Deviant Art. The user name I chose to use here was just too good to pass up!
I am just beginning to get started with mandelbulb3D, and I've been using UltraFractal 5 for some years now. I hope to learn a lot here and to make some new friends. I also hope to contribute to the popularity of this fascinating and versatile art form.
