Description

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 another exciting real-time ray tracer from Angisoft for the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4. 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 graphics chip of the iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 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. You can hide the tab bar to create a screen shot. Double tap to bring back the tab bar.
!!!! Important announcement !!!!
To take a screen shot, hold down the home button and then push the top button. The screen will flash and the resulting image will be placed on your camera roll. From there, you can sync it back to your computer, e-mail it to friends, or do anything else you can do with any other photo in your camera roll.

UPDATE PLEASE!!!

Bringt das iPhone6S Plus nach kurzer Zeit zum kompletten Absturz. Ganz ganz übel!!!👎

A powerful app and mobile rendering software. Makes a lot of fun to play around with the given parameters. I wished that there would be a possibility to create your own fractals by inputting custom mathematical formulas.

Needs a bit of work, but definitely worth a buck

There are a lot of angry reviews for this app.I’ve been using fractal programs for 30 years, so here’s my more in depth review. There is some disappointment here, but there’s a lot of good as well. The biggest issues are that the palette control is extremely limited and the three finger “translation” drag that you use to frame the Mandelbulb scene often glitches out of control, either causing the scene to lurch off camera or worse, activating the Mandelbulb power slide which alters what you’re framing. In addition, crashing from deep zooming is frequent. The lack of palette control could be rectified with a randomizer. As it is now, the palette control is limited by the reflected environment. I wouldn’t call these images beautiful, but they are fascinating. It’s wonderful how I can double tap and drag the Mandelbulb power in real-time. Rotating the Mandelbulb in real-time is also delightful. I love the anaglyph 3D support in real-time and in HD renders (although it’s depth of field tends to be shallow). Better control over framing and palette is necessary to create the awe-inspiring fractal imagery we have come to expect from Mandelbrot generators, however. This app is more of a mathematical curiosity. It’s still worth 99¢. I have no regrets.

What’s the point of the app?

hi apple it's me on

If there’s no possible way of export either a 3D model or a 360 landscape and a very limited editing? Why $.99? This thing is useless.

Crashes. Barely usable because of this.

Seems awesome, but unfortunately I’ll be asking for a refund since all it does is crash on my iPhone 6s Plus. It seems to be missing a lot of features that would make it useful, like saving your environments. Support is hopeless since the linked site is no longer available.

Is there a bug fix coming soon? Mine keeps glitching out and crashing my phone!

This is the coolest math app I have. It's amazing that an iPod/iPhone has the ray tracing capacity to do this. It would be great if there was a setting to color the bulb with more than one color.

Waste of Money!

I'd really like a refund for this app!

Wow

Dark Psy Spirit on

United States

Worth every penny! App is flexable like crazy!!!! Very interesting,, my only issue is the rendering time with high accuracy settings,, find a way around that and this would be very popular!

Cannot save pictures

Metaphorz on

United States

Same problem as with their Julia app You create these great images and then you have no access to them outside of the app. You cannot save or share the images
