If it helps at all I tried to open it in v182? But it did seem to be the default params (I thought they looked a bit short but then heck, I don't assume anything!)
Ah, I don't actually - that might explain it. I'm notoriously bad for not checking those things.... I've got yours saved to my comp so this weekend I'll try to remember to get those downloaded.
Cool! That should fix the problem then. You'll find that with a lot of tweaks from others also..lol in fact that's how I found out I didn't have those. Tried to tweak a friends image..and some of the formulas were coming up blank and it rendered nothing at all like the original image. Getting the extra formula pack helped. When you install those..just unzip them to the formula folder in Mandelbulb...and overwrite anything it asks to. It has fixes, updates, and added variables for a lot of the formulas. Anyway! Hope it helps and can't wait to see your tweak!
You can get the custom and extra formulas from this link [link] were put together by =dark-beam. For more info on the release..and also where I got the dl link from..go here [link] . I just put the link to the dl in because it's hard to find on the post. lol Anyway..hope this helps if you don't already have it.
