END OF AN ERA, FRACTALFORUMS.COM IS CONTINUED ON FRACTALFORUMS.ORG

Hello! My first post here!

Is there software available, where you can just put in a formula for the color of a voxel and see the resulting object?

I imagine a software that just greets you with a simple text area and a button "go". Now lets say you put in this into the textarea:

function color(x,y,z)
{
 if (x*x+y*y+z*z>1) return 0;
 else                           return  250;
}

And hit "go" - it will render a sphere. And then you can try all kinds of formulas and come up with spheres, mandelbulbs and whatever.

Is there something like this?

Thank you for the info.

I tried Gestaltlupe now. Somehow the renderings look broken on my machine.

I read the Evaldraw tutorial and it seems like it would need a lot of work to create 3d fractals in it.

At the moment, I think compiling Mandelbulber with my own formulas might be the best way. I managed to compile Mandelbulber from source and it renders really nice images. I just need to know where to put my own formula.

Hi Cbuchner1,

It might just be me, but I cannot find the link to the source code anywhere in the post you refer to?
