Mandelbulb 3D : The Complete Guide to Forging Infinite 3D Worlds
January 18, 2020 @ 8:00 pm - February 15, 2020 @ 9:30 pm GMT
Free – $105.00
Mandelbulb 3D software provides an incredible portal into creating and exploring 3D fractal worlds. These worlds are recursive – having an infinite level of detail, having complexity and often have an organic look to them as a result.
However Mandelbulb 3D has many options and functions, which can seem bewildering to a new user. Most users when first faced with the software, will press buttons and choose fractals at random to try and experiment to get results. In this course, Scappin Matteo (see his video showreel below) shares his experience and has a constructive and staged approach to learning the software, providing a foundation to start with and then showing the more complex and under utilised aspects of Mandelbulb 3D in this four part course. He’ll show you how he creates his amazing exploratory videos moving through 3D fractal worlds.
Part 1 is FREE ENTRY, so we would invite you to try the experience of Mandelbulb 3D as demonstrated by a passionate professional user.
The four part course includes:-
- Four x 1.5 hour webinar sessions and recordings
- Class materials
- A bonus coaching session with Scappin to advance your artwork with Mandelbulb 3D
Complete access has a limited early bird *discount of $30 on the premium ticket price.

*$30 discount offer expires on Sunday 5th January 2020
Who is this course for?
Artists : wanting to create amazing digital artwork quickly
Game artists : Unique objects and settings for videogames
Professional artists : special effects for movies
Explorers : to discover infinite virtual worlds
Mandelbulb artists : Gain a more comprehensive understanding of M3D
If you are new to fractals and Mandelbulb 3D – part 1 will be perfect for you! If you like what you see and you would like to go into more depth with Mandelbulb then join us for parts 2, 3 and 4.

Presenter : Scappin Matteo
Matteo studied computer science in northern Italy. At the age of ten he became fascinated by fractals (in 2 dimensions) and in particular by the mandelbrot fractal. He was fascinated, how can such a simple thing generate an entire abstract universe?
When studying programming (C ++, Processing) he discovered the topic of recursion; the love between Matteo and fractals was born!
One night in 2012, for the first time, he saw a video of a 3D fractal showing a fantastic world, without limits. It was designed by mathematics and interpreted by humans. He was speechless.
From his first simple animations, Matteo has since come a long way, studying and understanding fundamental concepts such as lighting, shadows, reflections, colors and the emotional impact they have on human beings.
