Ok, some of you already know...
A new amazing version of MB3D, still alpha but very usable, is out -> www.fractalforums.com/beta-tes…
You can now use eight formulas 
Other news;
Kali - Pablo Andrioli published the original source code of MB3D on the forums, check out if you are interested; www.fractalforums.com/mandelbu…
Knighty, an amazing guy at the forums, wa able to do a sorcery using its great skills; apparently it's possible to create Mb3D formulas using C!!! This will open the field for big innovations due to the ease of use of C.
Check out here; www.fractalforums.com/tutorial…
PAGE 2: explains NORMAL ESCAPETIME formulas!
PAGE 3: explains dIFS formulas!
This is important because I am unable to do some things in assembly but it's way easier in C!
So THANKS AGAIN KNIGHTY
Not so happy news - I can't upload here at Da. And you people?

This morning I had the same problem, it seemed I could not upload and I was like. Freaking. OUT. I mean, ZOMGZ
But my kind friend Barbara assured me that she could see my submission if it was clicked on.
I noticed the little + was still there when I hovered the mouse, and sure enough the image came right up when I hit that. Whew!!
Lots of deviants have been getting nothing but a blank square when uploading, Oh Dear What Can the Matter Be...
This dreadful issue PLUS the wondrous Big, Big News puts me in need of dark chocolate, like, yesterday...

Be careful chocolate is a caloric overload

Yes, chocolate in moderation is a superfood....must be why at 60 some people think I'm forty....mwhawhahahahah

High cocoa content chocolate is classed as a super food...in moderation of course

Woo! Hoo Just tried this one and it does seem pretty cool
and runs very fast and smoothly on my 64 bit windows 7
but still playing around with it and no harm just made
another MB3D folder with another MB3D and used that one
this is cool and moves about really fast but only a few formulas
can we add more to it yet and no color maps can add them
Great work you Guys dark-beam and others i don't know yet
and thargor6 This is Cool.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
It's really practically same as before still
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes so true while trying out yesterday I figure how to get the other formulas in there
and the Maps and it runs just like the other more formula slots now
but to me it ran very fast faster than my main one maybe a little to fast
but not going to complain have not saved a Images yet or parameter will try that soon
I did not see any slag what so ever runs just like the main one
Great work you Guy's all who Keep the MB3D alive.

I am not into mb programming! It's so very hard
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I bet it is hard it would be for me i am bad with math and all
and a few other things
and I am most honored to have met you.

Very good and promising news indeed. Looking forward to see how it develops.
You can't upload at DA?!?

I know I was here already but My son say's try it so I will be trying this out
so will see what it is like so I will give it a try.
stuff about these thing's but son will help me out he say's
will use a 2nd MB3D to try it on okay.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
For now, it just has more formulas (not surely a minor thing as it was thought as impossible before
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh but does it work well
my Son say's to give it a try Should I
I would like to see how it is so far I was worried at first
But my Sons says just try it on another copy
and just try it.
I will let you know how it goes will do in awhile.:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have both releases on the same folder
For rhe moment I keep on using the old one
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Okay then I can have them both that's what my son say's also
that's what I will do then
well i have one folder with many fractal programs will just there
and not in my main one in-case I boo something up

Wonderful news on all fronts! Formulas in C! 8 formula-slots! And more good news to come!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And you can try to code the kleinian
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The Smallian? Ohhhh I'd love to!!!
Hahahah, but I cannot do C! I have VisualC++ something lying somewhere, never did anything with it!!!! And no C compiler, no idea about it... my mind is (void)!!!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I deeply respect you btw, don't put always yself in the mud
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ohh I don't, but I really don't know anything about C! Oh please, my dear, don't worry, I really am only realistic and I find it all funny. I am very optimistic by nature! When I say: hey, I can program in basic... people laugh!! It's not a very sexy language is it?? 
I will re-read those pages

Still better than fortran

Initially when I got my hands on the code, I thought it was a real treasure. And you can trust me because you followed the discussion on the mods forum
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I followed, but not that closely
In any case, the release of the source code is now a problem of the past. Let's see the bright side and look at the new potential for collaboration and improvement of the program by the most skilled and motivated fractal programmers.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I am not too optimist, because the code is very hard to comprehend and it was thought as non-expandable, the 6 formula limit was really hard to expand
My orig thought and wish was 32 because it would be a large do-once push,
Also looking at the mandelbulber situation almost nobody seems to help and it's relatively easy
I am not against opensource but sometimes it does not bring real benefit
Okay
Now I want to see a render of yours using 8 formulas - no 3d print - the old good way 
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
8 formulas!! I always use 2 or less unless tweaking someone else's
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
In theory it is not needed... but when you design difs stuff, formulas easily run out! 
Same goes for decombos
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I'm not a fan of multiple formula slots, more a purist kind of guy. I almost never used the 6 slots, except with some advanced DEcombs maybe...And these days I'm working on other projects in Incendia, but one day for sure I'll come back to the new M3D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
90% of my renders are single formula
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, but you make so complex formulas!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I got this image out of the gnarl modding
www.fractalforums.com/index.ph…
What do you think
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow looks good to me was I supposed to add the dynamic with it the parameter Lol silly me
Lol no wonder I was wondering whether I should or not I get so confused
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I am just testing, every little change has huge impact
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Cool need to get to it then will keep you up on how it goes.
I just went and register my MB3D at the forums
hope they approve me
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You are approved by me "punk"...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aw! Thank you and you found me yay! will go check my email.

you there also I hope so

Yes, I am chaos.crystal there!!

Oh okay will look for when on I am new and don't know how anything works.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I correct myself, my name there is chaos_crystal not with the period
On Home you will see a huge tree of subforums, you should start off at Meet and Greet

neato, i'll have a quick look at the mb3d code out of curiosity tonight i think
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
And you can also look at the formula-creation chapter
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you know i have this super modern gpu rendering engine i wrote in <= 2 days, which is totally ready to plug in distance estimators - but i have almost no working DE stuff (and little ability to make them myself yet), so it just sits around unused. kinda too should work something out here...
