Hey All:

"YET MORE MANDELBULBS I LOVE!!! Also featuring..." leoniezurakowsky.deviantart.co…
I'M ALSO SHOUTING OUT BIG THANKS TO ALL MY WATCHERS, VIEWERS AND FRIENDS: THANK YOU FOR YOUR FAVES, COMMENTS AND NOTES - FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT!!! I SO APPRECIATE IT!!! FORGIVE ME FOR NOT THANKING FOR ALL FAVES, MISSING COMMENTS AND SAYING MY "YOUR WELCOMES", I'D RATHER BE OUT FAVING AND COMMENTING ON YOUR ART!!!
Shadowness.com shadowness.com/
I broke down and joined it, thanks to fraterchaos !!! His gallery there is at: shadowness.com/fraterchaos/ .
My gallery is at shadowness.com/Leonie/ .
Here's my new profile picture over there - a recent photo of my Second Life.com avatar!!!
If I'd known about their kinda fun point system I would have joined via having him invite me through my email cuz it's worth 1000 points when someone you invite joins the site!!!!
I warmly invite and welcome ALL of you to sign up for that smaller and possibly somewhat friendlier community (no offence cuz dA has always been pretty friendly to me - well the community members anyhow!).
If you want to play the point rewards game - well it happens whether you actually 'play' it or not, cuz you get a few small rewards such as posting an additional image per day or uploading your very own profile background just for ranking up in faves, comments and follows AND uploads - it adds a bit to the site's black background experience! - please send me a note with your email and I'll send you an invitation pronto - within one day I would think! Then I will get 100 points for each new person who joins via my invitation. Of course no obligation! LOL!
Please go over and check out my gallery and also the galleries of several more dA friends such as:

MANDELBULB3D TUTORIALS LIST
FIRST - a big thanks to Jesse Dierks www.fractalforums.com/index.ph… the creator and owner of Mandelbulb3D, to be found at Fractal Forums www.fractalforums.com/ and downloaded here: www.fractalforums.com/index.ph… , for making me love fractals all over again!
For the sake of reiteration , sorry pun intended, I'd like to link to some of the tutorials that helped me the most when I first downloaded Mandelbulb3D. Please comment with links if there are other tutorials that could be included in this list. I'm also interested in listing MandelbulbER tutorials, so if you know of any good ones, please let me know!
Here is mario837 's tutorial "MB3D Color Tutorial" fav.me/d41hzy9 .
Three great tutorials from HalTenny :
"Mandelbulb 3D Tutorial" haltenny.deviantart.com/art/Ma…
"Mandelbulb 3D Tutorial 2" haltenny.deviantart.com/art/Ma… from whence came the famous Spudsville tweakage meme and my earliest Mandelbulb images here:
Tuberville
fav.me/d4ak19j
fav.me/d4ak1fl
fav.me/d4ak1ka
and
Another Potato
fav.me/d4ar2hm
fav.me/d4aqzkd
"Mandelbulb3D Tutorial 3" haltenny.deviantart.com/art/Ma…
AND
"Big Thanks - Parameters and Tips For Beginners" haltenny.deviantart.com/journa…
Those are great Hal and many many thanks!
The Avast My Chum series
fav.me/d4ak7iy
as well as Avast My Chum Redux series
Avast My Chum Redux 8
fav.me/d4gtqnn
Avast My Chum Redux 331
fav.me/d4gtrg8
and
Avast My Chum Redux 21
fav.me/d4gtt7y
came out of Fiery Fire 's tutorial here:
"Mandelbulb 3D - Negative Tuto" fav.me/d38j0m9
Thanks so much for the inspiration FF!
raysheaf 's tutorial
"Rendering with Mandelbulb 3D" is one all beginner's should work through raysheaf.deviantart.com/art/Re… , as well as being useful with all rendering issues!
Here's a beginner's tutorial by Dan Moore that was invaluable to me:
"Intro to Mandelbulb3D" fav.me/d33dzyh .
This SIX PART online series of tutorials for abject beginners by siriusstarsage is super!
"Mandelbulb 3D Tutorial: The Basics" mandelubber.blogspot.com/2011/…
"Mandelbulb 3D Tutorial: Lighting and Colouring" mandelubber.blogspot.com/2011/…
"Mandelbulb 3D Tutorial: Colour and Lighting cont." Mandelbulb 3D Tutorial: Colour and Lighting cont.
"Mandelbulb 3D Tutorial: Different 3D Fractal Formulas and Hybrids" mandelubber.blogspot.com/2011/…
"Mandelbulb 3D Tutorial: Cutting!" mandelubber.blogspot.com/2011/…
"Mandelbulb 3D Tutorial: Render Quality (those damn pixels!)" mandelubber.blogspot.com/2011/… .
and I used the information as the basis for many of my images. It's especially helpful in the area of basic calculations though a touch behind with some of the new functions as the program has been updated so many times since it was written.
Then of course thanks to the many many tutorials and formulas provided by LucaGN !!! Here's just a few of his excellent tuts (I won't claim to have used them all!):
"Inside Amazing Box + IFS tut" lucagn.deviantart.com/art/Insi…
"Gnarly Box tutorial" lucagn.deviantart.com/art/Gnar…
"Mandelbulb FAQ-suggestions" lucagn.deviantart.com/art/Mand…
"Barnsley 4D tutorial" lucagn.deviantart.com/art/Barn…
"Smileys and DIFS playing" fav.me/d4nga7i
"100percent mirroring setting in MB3D" lucagn.deviantart.com/art/100p…
"Koch cube minitut" lucagn.deviantart.com/art/Koch… which was instrumental in the making of many of my earlier images especially in the Elle's Castle series:
Elle's Castle 221
fav.me/d4d8x0n
Elle's Castle 10
fav.me/d4d8zel
AND
Kegembiraan Mall 02b
fav.me/d4dshye
Kegembiraan Mall 09
fav.me/d4dsief
Here's the lighting tutorial by ulliroyal
fav.me/d3fpji2 .
This video tutorial about making Mandelbulbs into 3D objects is fascinating and looks incredibly time-consuming! LOL!
"How to create textured 3D meshes with Mandelbulb 3D" by kitchendon www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jfdarg… . More to come on this matter as voxelling has been added to the new MB3D latest version!
And finally for all fractal lovers everywhere, this amazing tutorial - "Ultra Fractal Spanking Tutorial"
fav.me/d4l5t1b by jimpan1973 !!! Have fun with that one!!!
Thanks for reading and viewing I do hope these will help you as much as they helped me!
