Many artists are publishing their parameters for their Mandelbulb 3D works, myself included. But sometimes it's more convenient just to have the lighting they use because that is one of the hardest parts to learn when you are just starting out. Here's a collection of lighting settings. Note: the names may not be indicative of what you get, but you will get a variety of colors and lighting settings that aren't in the default set.

To use them, unzip the file, and load them into Mandelbulb 3D using the "open full light and color parameter button" as shown.

Thank you so very much for such a great helping hand! Finding these parameters was an answer to a prayer; the tutorials linkage, as well. I am working with the Bulb, after many moons of 'Flames', and having a little difficulty getting the hang of it. I have a few really nice images, but most are only Ho-Hum. This should help me get started in the right direction. Again, Thanks Ellen.
Thank you, Ellen, for your generosity in sharing formulas and tips! You have created some marvelous fractals!
