Mandelbulb 3D parameter experiments: Set 3 of 3 http://thedesignspace.net/MT2archives/000916.html This is the third set of variations on one Mandelbulb 3D image. The full set of variations is displayed below. All of these use Amazing Box, [something], Folding Int Pow, and ABoxVaryScale4d formulas with identical parameters, except for the second position which is filled in by whichever formula I was testing at the moment. The results of these experiments are...

The results of... Mandelbulb 3D parameter experiments: Set 1 of 3 http://thedesignspace.net/MT2archives/000913.html Last night, starting with this Mandelbulb 3D file, I spent a few hours experimenting with substituting different formulas in one position, holding all other parameters the same. The results of these experiments are yours to use and expand on. There are one or two variations for each formula. There are plenty of interesting bits to explore in these images, far... Mandelbulb 3D Light collection http://thedesignspace.net/MT2archives/000900.html 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...

Create photo-illustration effects with Photoshop http://thedesignspace.net/MT2archives/000717.html I've been experimenting with enhancing some of my photos in Photoshop to create more interesting images. I use a Canon PowerShot SD 990IS point-and-shoot camera that does a good job on the whole, but because the lens isn't very high quality, images sometimes come out somewhat hazy. The camera actually captures a lot of detail but it takes some processing... My Creative Commons Images http://thedesignspace.net/MT2archives/000704.html
