I've even joined Fractal Forums in the hopes that they might know something... it's taking ages for them to accept my registration though...
On the off chance, I've decided to send the following e-mail to Duncan Brinsmead to see if he can assist:
Hi Duncan,My name is Terrence Craig, you don't know me. On the off chance, I was wondering whether you might have some script for the Mandelbox or Mandelbulb for Maya that you could share with me. For once the internet is failing me.Just for some background, I'm a third year student doing Digital Media at the Australian National University. A lecturer of mine (Kit Devine) showed me your Mandelbrot presentation. I found it very inspiring, particularly when you went into the 3D world of the Mandelbulb and the Mandelbox.I'm hoping to make such an object for my major project this semester, tweaking the code so that it becomes somewhat unique then add atmosphere, etc and do a fly-through. I find myself very disappointed though that I cannot find any scripts on the net that will generate such an object. I can see that there are specialised programs for Windows but I'd prefer to use Maya, on a mac, due to the power and control it would provide.My background is in programming but my experience with Maya is quite limited to date because my art works haven't required it I'm not scared of MEL or Python though.If you could assist in any way, possibly even pointing me to a resource to find such a script to generate those 3D shapes, I'd be extremely appreciative.Thanks for any assistance you can provide.Regards, Terrence.
