Note though, that if you save your fractal in this format, the file can be big. Loading this will load your fractal exactly as you left it. You have 4 different saving options:Ħ Saving Options As an m3i: This is Mandelbulb's file format. For now, let's save your fractal for future retrieval. Then you go back to your the main window, make sure you have "Preview" chosen, and click on "Calculate 3D": And your image will be rendered quite quickly in the main window: Foresty area rendered in the main Window So now that it's rendered, you can start changing it's look by using the Lighting window. The first thing you need to do is click on the "View to main" button, in the top left corner. For now though, let's just save your fractal for future access. I did exactly that:ĥ A nice foresty zoom-in of the Mandelbulb Ok, I'll get to colouring and lighting in the next blogpost. Ok so, now zoom in to an area you like, get used to the other navigation keys, and once you've found a good spot, stop there. And the arrows are for rotating the 'bulb in any direction by the number of degrees you specify. *** A note: There are these navigation tools in the main window that can be useful (if a bit cumbersome) especially when first loading your fractal and inspecting it for the first time: As I mentioned in the beginning, you can zoom in here, but it switches to 2D so you need to re-"calculate 3D" each time. For me, the best thing about them is using them with the Looking buttons, to rotate the fractal and "look around corners". You'll notice that the zoom is affected when clicking on them. Then, the 4 "Sliding" buttons: The best I can do to explain these for now is to say that it's like you're side-stepping and turning a little, in whichever direction you click. This will load the original settings, which should bring you back to the full-size bulb. The best thing to do when you get lost in a zoom, with lots of sky and pixelation, is to click on the Parameter button. Sometimes its behaviour is unexpected and most of the time I can't figure out why. Especially when using the mouse wheel, where zooming in changes many more parameters than the zoom. I have problems though, with these two little buttons. Like this, if you get too close, you start walking through the fractal. But if you have "Fixed zoom and steps" ticked (also in the box that pops down when clicking on the bottom right arrow), then you simply move closer to it. By default, using them zooms in closer to or further from the fractal (getting closer reveals more detail).

Then there are the two walking buttons, which is the default function of using the mousewheel. To what degree you turn your head is also determined by the "Looking+Rolling angle" in the bottom settings. (It opens up more settings): Navigation controls and settings The 4 "looking" buttons are exactly that: If you click once to the right, for example, it's as if you're turning your head a little to the right and looking in that direction. You can set the amount of degrees it will roll if you click on that little down arrow in the bottom right corner. They roll the image either clockwise or counter-clockwise. Now, I don't quite understand all of how everything works yet, but I'll try and explain as much as I know: The two "rolling" buttons are self explanatory. Notice the different buttons at the bottom there.
