简介

Be a virtual sculptor and create your own personal art in just seconds. Then use it as a background image to impress your friends. Play with the parameters to create an unlimited number of exciting 3D shapes. You can make the sculpture shiny by selecting an environment that will be reflected on the object.

Mandelbulb Raytracer is an exciting real-time ray tracer for the iPad. It renders the Mandelbulb fractal with high accuracy. Zooming makes an unlimited amount of detail visible.

Fractals are self-similar mathematical shapes in complex space. The Mandelbulb fractal is a 3-dimensional analog of the Mandelbrot set using an hypercomplex algebra based on spherical coordinates. This app uses the GPU of the iPad to compute a 3D image of the fractal by ray tracing using OpenGL ES 2.0 shaders.

Double/Triple tap and drag the finger horizontally or vertically to change the shape of the Mandelbulb fractal. You can also set these constant in the Settings tab. The Settings tab also allows to enable an environment that is mirrored on the Mandelbulb fractal. The accuracy of the fractal surface can also be set here. If you have red-cyan glasses available, you can see the fractal with real depth by enabling stereo mode.

A one finger drag rotates the camera around the object, a two finger pinch is used for zooming and a three finger drag translates the camera. Create a screen shot by pressing the sleep button on the top and home button at the same time. The screen shot will be in your photo album.

Fun Enough...

But it only has one Equation in it and it doesn't allow the user to play around with more variances, There are a lot of ways to go with this; and if this app is actually calculating all of these points on the fly, this would be a simple thing to do -- But it may be that it's ( merely ) a very clever animation toy ???

Useless app

Basically you are buying a picture of the Mandelbulb set up in front of different backgrounds. You can do some minor adjustments but this is nothing worth anyones time. I guess if you scam enough people into buying this then these developers can sit back and be “proud”? If you have any former experience with this fractal then this is not what you are seeking. Save your two dollars or better yet , throw it in the street, flush two dollars down the toilet , find a wishing well, put two bucks in the tithe basket at church. All of these are a waste of time like this app. I immediately deleted it after looking around for maybe five minutes. Lame controls , extremely limited . This is a scam app.

Interesting & it works as of this review

While it takes a good deal of experimentation with the controls and manipulation on screen, once you get a sense of how to control the app outside of the default settings you can achieve images worthy of keeping.

Exporting at high resolution works as of iOS 12.2 on my iPad Pro 10.5” works fine, both in Norma and red/blue 3D.

I would like to see both a stereo dual image option (viewer and cross-eyed) along with AR capability to bring this app up to date with current technology.
