I bought the program some months ago...but never could get it started and gave up....now I have learnt fractals and am ready to try this wonderful program...
Hi, ... This is a result of the lighting. Lighting is based on the surface slope at each point, which is calculated from the surrounding points. The number of...
It sure pays to talk to the man that really knows the software :-). I fought with this for quite a number of hours thinking it was a holon problem. Never...
Greets, I create all my xenopics to be at 7200x5400 pixels. The other day I decided to have a print made full size (24x18 inches @ 300 dpi) to check curves for...
so i bought vue...am tryin to get some xd objects to import into vue...vue will import the following polygon mesh files dfx,obj,3ds,lwo,shd,cob,pz3 and...
If you prefer to import your XD fractal as a landscape instead of a real object, just save the depth map as a TGA file in XD instead of a PGM. In Vue's terrain...
Christina - this is a link to a small gallery I threw together to illustrate why one might want to import an XD PGM file into Bryce. As I've posted several...
Hi Bob, One has to render the Xenodreams file as an obj. I am not good at the program but if I remember correctly the way to do it may be under the file menu?...
Errr, someone correct me if I'm wrong but you can not transfer material. An OBJ file is just a 3D mesh/grid of an object/image. You have to apply texturing in...
To summarize: Vue and some other programs don't import PGM files, but do import a special version of TGA file (16 bit RG encoded targa file), so that is also...
Hi Vince, ... It mostly comes down to resolution. On screen you are typically viewing somewhere between 72 and 125 dpi, with 96 being the most common on a PC....
Hi, ... The easiest way for an approximate effect is to use the Gridcub metamorph on whatever shape you have, with a high Scale value. For a more authentic...
That are some cool images, Morris! I really like them. :) I can see why it can be more useful in special cases to export a fractal rather as a PGM/TGA depth...
Thanks, Christina. I've never saved a depth map as a TGA. Having too much fun with PGM. Will have to try that and compare the two. BTW, I have visited your web...
In Vue you have to use the TGA as it can't read PGM. If you use Bryce I would prefer PGM because I don't know if a TGA comes out the same in Bryce as it comes...
sometimes, in my excitement to get to the bottom of a new project i skip the reading of the destructions...Id like to thank all who posted replies to my q's on...
Came across this image taken by shuttle astronauts from orbit, an unusual and very beautiful example of fractals from nature. Be aware that its a VERY big...
Hi Nick, ... Nice - don't tempt me! Actually I think you'll be pretty happy with what the new metamorphs do for rocks and landforms, and also with the...
Hi Bob, About mesh export... ... Mesh export is a separate process, so you don't need to render it as a picture first. The advice about setting render size to...
well, I have a P4 2.8 Gz with 4 Gigs of RAM, although that motherboard architecture only about sees 3.25 Gigs. I can "only" render at about 7200 x 5400 pixels....
Hi Vince, ... From some other feedback, I suspect that once you have more than 2GB the memory calculation in XD 1.5 is not accurate. I suggest trying larger...
Vince, Here is a little know fact. Microsoft Windows has an architected limit of 2 GB for each application run under Windows. Thats per appplication. So if...
... limit ... appplication. That make senses. I first upgraded to 2 Gigs of Ram where i could see a difference. A upgrade to 4 Gigs of Ram showed no...
4G is the limit of addressable space for a 32-bit system. (2^32 = 4,294,967,296) It's not so much a Windows limitation as a 32-bit limitation. Applications are...

In other 3D apps I can set up multiple cameras and render the image in sections that have max resolution in each image. I can stitch them together in...
I have a suggestion for a sort of challenge / collaborative project - the Xeno Clock! I got the idea poking around the web, when I came across the Giant Nixie...
