Tah-Dah!! After many long months in seclusion, Jesse has released a new, beta version of Mandelbulb 3D: v1.8.6beta-2 test!!

This is just the executable and readme; get it at: [link]

(You will need to have installed the full version 1.8.2 x1: [link]  prior to adding this update)

As always, in Jesse's own words:

"Ok, this is for those who like testing, only the executable with readme included, save your current program first when replacing it with this version....

What's new in version 1.8.6beta-2 test:

-  Fixed issues in the navigator and lighting.
-  'Smooth' option when calculating only one hard shadow.
-  New but slow monte carlo rendering method.
-  Author names can be inserted into the parameter, look in 'Infos' tab.
-  Support for loading 48 bit PNG maps and background pics.
-  Exchanged the png unit with the old one because of reported saving issues.
-  Preview images in the loading dialog for m3i (if images are stored in).
-  Background images are displayed in the navigator.
-  Some minor changes."

Great to see the man himself back in the drivers seat again!!

As always, don't forget to regularly check for the latest updates to Dark-Beam's formula pack - 'new fmlas.zip'
which can be downloaded from: [link]

Enjoy Folks....

BEWARE! Here is yet another site stealing (linking) to our art! Follow this link to check out if your art is there without permission. Most of them look like they were uploaded by Wallpaper artist: skydancer, Site: desktopnexus.com who looks like he claims this to be his work! Please check this site out as I have seen other Deviant artists work on this site too! Here is a link to my art on this site, which I have asked them to delete!>>

Since mid Dec until now, my back has been acting up somewhat fierce. Some know this some don't.Why am I telling you this? It's because I have not been making too many comments and stuff. I look at every deviation from all the people I watch, over 250. I just thought I had to say this because, I guess somewhere, I feel guilty. I've been doing a lot of faving and running. . BUT, it's been getting a  little better each and every day.

I have way too many faves on my list that I keep for linking. SO here they are:

DOF fun: JWildfire V0.62 releaseJust released JWildfire V0.62.
Major new feature is the possiblity to visually specify the focus point for calculating dof (depth of field) effects. So its much more easy to to create fractal images with awesome "depth" effects. There is short tutorial on those new features:

Complete list of changes:
- more accurate calculation of dof (depth of field)
- freely specify the focus point in dof
- special edit mode to specify the focus point visually (by dragging it with the mouse)
- simplified triangle editing modes (move, rotate and scale is one mode and uses the same controls as view editing mode), free point editing is the same as before
- allow to change the camera yaw angle by dragging the mouse in the preview window (hold left and right mouse button)
- mouse view editing: modify camera pitch by dragging the mouse in the vertical (y) direction, modify camera roll by dragging the mouse in the horizontal (x) direction
- "circus" variation my Michael Faber
- FIXED a bug :thumb347221183:
