Mandelbulb 3D Tutorial

Master Training ​2.3

v​

This list is not the end all, be all at this point,

but over a period of time, as I add new finds
and other tutorials get published I will
continue to add to it so that it does become
​andelbulb 3D
the authoritative list of M
tutorials on the internet! So, if you view this
PDF file in June, it could be a completely
different document in November. You
should look for the newest version on the
FaceBook group ​ Mandelbulb Maniacs​ in the
file section.

It is my intention to start with tutorials for the

beginner and progress through to the latest
cutting techniques and tips! However, keep
in mind the number of available tutorials if
you find something that does not look in the
right place. It should be mentioned that
many of the tutorials listed here were written
for an earlier version of ​
Mandelbulb 3D​than
the current version you are using. However,
the parameters, techniques and formulas
used in them should work flawlessly in your
software. Of course there may be
exceptions to the rule but very few.

Images and a number system will be used

throughout whenever possible. These
tutorials can definitely improve your
understanding of the software and the
settings required to create some really
awesome fractals. Let’s get started.

Some Final Thoughts:
My madness runs deep when thinking about helping others
learn and enjoy the thrill of creating 3D Fractal Art. It’s
Maniacal really! It is my genuine hope that this list of
resources totally transforms your skill set in regards to your
ability to create Awesome Fractals for your own joy and
pleasure as well as the amazement of your friends and
family!

If you have written a tutorial, shared a collection of maps or

created a parameter pack that is not listed here, please
