  • modified fractal formulas
    T>DIFS cylinder, added hollow option
    amazing box mod14, corrected rrCol color
    mandelbox variable, fix vary scale mode 2
    mandalay KIFS updated
    menger4D mod2, add quadray

  • Lights: possible to define an unlimited number of lights

  • Lights: light sources organized as a tabs in UI

  • Lights: added New, Duplicate, Delete, Place buttons for lights

  • Lights: added selection of light decay function

  • Lights: added conical type of lights (spot lights)

  • Lights: added texture projection

  • Lights: position of the light can be absolute or relative to the camera

  • Lights: shadow parameters can be individually controlled for every light

  • Lights: every light can be used as a directional light (substitution for Main light source)

  • Lights: removed UI elements for Main light source

  • Lights: volumetric light UI elements moved to light source tab

  • Lights: light sources defined in old Mandelbulber versions are converted to new structures

  • Lights: random lights updated to work with new lights

  • Lights: added wire-frame preview of light sources

  • Lights: actual selected light is displayed as bold lines

  • Lights: lights can be dragged using mouse pointer and moved forward/backward using ctrl+mouse wheel

  • Lights: added ball widget to control and preview light source direction (for directional lights)

  • Lights: added default texture for light projection (thanks to Stephen Sink for the texture)

  • Lights: intensity of random lights doesn't depend on the number of them

  • OpenCL: Added detection of missing TdrLevel and TdrDelay settings in Windows registry.

  • OpenCL: Implemented environment mapping effect to OpenCL code

  • Shaders: Added fast shading for clouds when "receive shadows" option is off

  • Randomizer: If OpenCL is enabled, Randomizer will not use CPU for rendering trials. It improves performance of randomizing.

  • UI: added importing of color palettes from https://coolors.co/ (copy/paste way)

  • UI: fixed bug: added missing "distance between eyes" editbox

  • Shaders: Fixed problem with application crashing caused by not-a-number results of NormalMap vector transformation

  • Shaders: Fixed problem with wrong rendering of specular highlight gradients in CPU mode

  • Performance: Reduced high memory usage caused by parameter containers and undo buffer

  • Performance: Reduced memory usage by textures

  • Rendering: Program crashed when was reduced number of CPUs to use

  • Code: removed depreciated Qt functions (prepared for Qt 6.0)

  • Examples: added GPU benchmark for stronger GPUs (benchmark-GPU 2.fract)

  • Examples: added many examples
