MB3D1.99.28 release with update to BulbTracer2
Just released MB3D 1.99.28 as update to MB3D and BTracer2.
This version comes with another update to the new mesh generator (BTracer2):
- mesh-reduction now supports both vertex-colors and uv-coordinates and is enabled by default (in BTracer2x64)
- some bug-fixes
See the file CHANGES.txt for a list of changes.
When using BTracer2: please do read the official documentation, it will probably answer most of your questions.
Update-suggestion: just manually copy/overwrite the following files to your existing installation:
- BTracer2.pdf
- BTracer2x64.exe
- BulbTracer2r28.jpg
- CHANGES.txt
- Mandelbulb3D.exe
- README_1.99sr28.txt

MB3D1.99.27 release with major update to BulbTracer2
Just released MB3D 1.99.27 as major update.
This version comes with another huge update to the new mesh generator (BTracer2):
- optionally use the OpenGL-window for previewing the mesh. This is slightly slower, but gives you a much better impression of the final mesh
- an official documentation for all BTracer2-related topics: BTracer2.pdf
- controls for rotating the mesh
- optional tracing ranges for better control of the result (e.g. allowing you to only create a mesh of a certain slice of the whole traced cube)
- option to create closed meshes (along the trace-range-boarders)
- loading/saving of all options (including fractal-params) in a new file-format (*.btrace2)
- more efficient memory-management
- creating BTracer2-Cache-files which can be processed using a new external 64Bit-companion-app, called BTracer2x64
- to create meshes of any size your machine can handle
- unlike to the feature to create meshes, MB3D can generate cache-files for any volumetric resolution (they just need some time to calculate and consume a lot of space on your hard-drive).
- using the external app, you can create meshes from those cache-files and let them automatically reduced (optional feature)
- please note, that you are not allowed to use the NON-COMMERCIAL-version of this application in commercial projects (see BTracer2.pdf for details)
See the file CHANGES.txt for a list of changes.
When using BTracer2: please do read the official documentation, it will probably answer most of your questions.

MB3D1.99.12 release with update to BulbTracer2
Just released MB3D 1.99.12 as major update.
This version comes with a big update to the new mesh generator (BTracer2):
– even more speed
– true vertex colors (when using PLY as export format)
– using less memory, allowing to generate meshes with higher resolution
In short: make it even more fun!See the included image “BulbTracer2r12.jpg” for a visual overview of the changes.

MB3D1.99.7 release with BulbTracer2
Just released MB3D 1.99.7 as major update.
It comes with BTracer2, an major update to the mesh-generator.
In fact, the module was rewritten, in order to achieve the following goals:
– get much better results
– to be much faster
– (optionally) generate color-information
– make it simpler to use
In short: make it fun!See the included image “BulbTracer2.jpg” for a visual overview of the changes and have fun!
