Krzysztof Marczak keeps exploring possibilities of Mandelbox formula in his free 3D fractals generator called Mandelbulber.

What's new:

• lots of new options in Mandelbox like rotation and folding of planes;
• better coloring in Mandelbox formula;
• zooming in the fractal view window by dragging right mouse button;
• irrelevant options are now automatically disabled;
• several bugfixes.

It's worth noting that if you are still on Ubuntu 10.04, either of binaries won't work due to demand for a newer version of libjpeg library. There are two ways to solve this: rebuilding the application using make all command in Release folder or creating a symbolic link (sudo ln -s) from libjpeg.so.62.0.0 to libjpeg.so.8.

• sources + Linux 32bit build;
• sources + Linux 64bit build;
• Windows build.
