Navigating 3D-space (Mandelbulb3D - first steps)Fractal ArtMandelbulb3D is a fractal generating program that aims at creating 3D-fractals that are often quite realistic looking.2D-fractal software like Jux can only create fractals that are flat, while 3D-fractals also have height/depth (and of course there are the in-betweens: some programs like UltraFractal are mainly 2D, but have (very limited) 3D-possibilities). The best comparison might be a photograph (which is always 2D) you had printed from some shells. For instance, you can see the shells but if you let your hand touch the photo, it feels like a flat surface. If 3D-photos would exist, you would be feeling the shells sticking out of the flat surface.Most mandelbulb3D-users navigate through their fractal by using the Navigation window. You will find it on the upper left of the main window by clicking the 3D Navi-buttonBut what really happens when we move around in our fractal in the navigation window? In
