wow, nice render and cool material. thank you for trying.

how much resolution of that object?

regards.

tg_jp, Hiroto.
 
thanks hiroto,
i think it was a resolution of 1000, i made editable before saving.
my mac has only 4 gb ram so it's difficult to work with higher resolutions.
when i check the julia parameter box i get an error, line 175, *can't find variable: julia_c*
is it a bug or am i doing something wrong ?

that's a bug. I already fixed that, please download the latest (Mandelbulb_20100617.zip), and replace it. I added 2 pics of julia set to my first post at this thread.

resolution 1000 is quite high. poly count must be 100,000,000 over.

some of parameters are unusable ( for example, mesh connect: on withtout BSP/ cache system is not optimized yet, and not easy to use :p ) please take care to use.

another mile stone script from you, Hiroto... many thanks! :icon_thumbup:
now let's put it into the instance generator :rolleyes:

cheers,

Looking good Hiroto.
There was something similar last year in the AoI forums at "friendlyskies". A plugin I can´t run because I´m still on Leopard and Apple wouldn´t let install a newer Java version what is needed for this.
Have a look here: http://www.friendlyskies.net/aoiforum/viewtopic.php?id=2112
And the former thread: http://www.skytopia.com/project/fractal/mandelbulb.html
And some more about the plugin: http://sourceforge.net/projects/aoi/forums/forum/47784/topic/3464031

Cheers

thanks !

following hiroto's initial link i came to learn that among the developer tools there is a mac osx built in real time gpu based raytracer called quartz composer.
now this is a neat thing with shadows and ambient occlusion and a nifty node editor that makes cheetah's look like the version for five-to-seven-year-olds.
t works real time with small resolutions on my mac and puts out quick time animations if needed.
but caution, on high resolution it may freeze your ui !

hi

thank you for trying.

here is sample file and screen shot of ~/Application Support/Cheetah3D/script folder.

actually, this script works with only OS 10.6 Snow Leopard, if you want to use with 10.5, you have to re-compile a program with XCode ( XCode project and source files included ).

regards.

tg_jp, Hiroto

strange... I have Cheetah 5.5 and 10.6.4, I placed both files in the scripts folder but nothing appears in the 3Dview. I saw Hiroto has the _src folder too so I copied it in the same location (and renamed) but still nothing appears :confused:
 
hi alessandro,

have you tested the mandelbulb unix file in terminal (right-click *open with* > terminal.app) ?
