Well if it`s going to be as good as the spider this new one should be something to look forward to. Just take as long as you like making it, like I did with my new space piece - gradually built up over a few weeks.

Very cool spider. That must have taken some time. It looks more like a killer ant to me though since it only has six legs. Still very clever! Sculptris is so very temperamental. I'm getting frustrated with some of the larger (more complex) pieces I'm working on. It crashes all the time when I try to add detailed parts. I have found that you can export the sculpture as an .obj (waveform object) file and import it into Blender to add more detail using the sculpt mode. Blender is so hard to use. I really hate the program right now. I'm trying but I may have to give up on all of it. It is so sensitive and hard to figure out the UI. The other problem with doing that is that the sculpture comes in very large and has to be rescaled a considerable amount. The guy who created Sculptris now works for ZBrush and that is where Sculptris has continued to develop. I'm sad to say that it's not going to get any better in the free version because of that. Oh well.

My favorite is the one on the far right, the copper colored one. Good job.

All three results are fabulous I'm still learning to use Apo - it requires a lot of patience and time (Well, for me anyway!).

Goodness Sargon...at first, viewing the thumbnails, I was thinking they all look like caverns but I can see from the larger view that you are absolutely spot on with the titles you gave them. So beautiful each one. Just the jaggies that were mentioned earlier...does Smooth with PDN help at all? I must try this one...I have it on my pc somewhere!

Solid work mate. Titles very fitting as mentioned.
Obviously you lost some quality in the compression, but they dont look like you're having a lot of AA issues ... of course that could also be covered up quite a but by the sizing as well ...

Can only say one word: Stunning! Totally amazed at all of them and I so enjoy seeing your work. You are one clever dude

Thanks everyone, @barbie, when you download mandelbulb, you will find a decent "Read Me" text file, it is a little long to read it all, but if you do you will get a good idea on how to use every feature and option in the program, I have version 1.7.7, I think it is the newest one. Helen, thanks I am glad you liked them. TheBad1, thanks mate, here is a dino-source delpart, thanks mate, looks like everyone likes the titles, they just popped-up in my mind while I was rendering/saving them. There isn't an AA option, but there is a Calculations tab, with 5 adjustments, by playing with those you can get a better accepted result, of course I am just assuming here, may be there is a hidden secret, I think I should read/watch some tutorials to see how others are doing their work. Pixey, thanks you very much , I am glad you enjoyed them.

Wow Sargon , that is amazing . Did you save the parameters by any chance ? I would love to tweak it ? Looks very prehistoric , you should go to DA there's loads of parameters to tweak and people can help too , oh yeah about the smoothing . I found out that if you .01 for the Raystep multiplier and .1 for the Stepwidth it comes out smoother but takes a bit longer to render

Thank you redeemer, and yes I have saved the parameter, find it below. That what I was thinking about the smoothing, and you are right it take longer but better result, and I found that if you render to a size of 3000 or higher then save it in lower scale like 1:2 or 1:3 you get much better result but a small file though.

Superb images Sargon! I like the country theme with three of them. It`s easy to see how they relate to each country. I particularly like Thailand. Teabrewer is amazing . Don`t think I would brew my cup of tea in it though! ;D Great selection. Well done Sargon.

@ blackpenny, thank you very much. @ Gooni, thanks mate, me either, would not brew my tea in it, lol. Those were the first attempts on mandelbulb, today I got something weird, I called it Temple, it is real fun to play with this app. Temple:
