On the Reef by MakinMagic On the Reef by MakinMagic
Created using Ultra Fractal.

For Mandelbulb lovers :)
You should note that this is not using the standard Mandelbulb "algebra".

Absolutely amazing. Guess I'll have to save up for the program!

You can of course try out Ultra Fractal for free :)
Also for older-type UF formulas you can use ChaosPro which is free anyway - even the currently released version of my Mandelbulb rendering formula *should* work with ChaosPro - though I haven't actually tried it.

My wip3D raytracing formula is here:

(I believe Martin's native 3D rendering can do the Mandelbulb too).

nice modification :)

What would happen at this one:

r² 2phi 4theta?

Thanks.

It would get more chaotic ;)

would it?
I thought it might look less stretched, as certain patterns would repeat more often over the 3rd dimension, while the standard Mset-dimensions are unaltered...

I was just speaking from experience of doing "extra rotation" in formulas for strange attractors.
I meant "mathematically speaking" - visually you may be correct :)

kram1032 Featured By Owner Jan 18, 2010
oh, I see :)

Well, modifying the formula in such a way is probably only reasonable for visual stuff... :)

As the mainproblem with the power 2 version seems to be stretch (such extreme stretch that any may existing detail looks like bridges or spaghetti), it might help to just amplify the frequency of the 3rd dimension to have less such problems :)

So, I'd like to see r² 2phi 2^n theta - especially 4 theta or 8 theta :)

Maybe inbetweens are nice too :)

Hmmm - I will probably add the option of "split powers", in fact I was already planning on using one power for the magnitude and another for the angles - I think I'll do that first as using different powers for each angle will mean a large re-write of my current formulas - in fact I'd write them as separate options because doing so wouuld involve breaking a significant amount of my optimisations :(

ow... lol

It's easy that I could be wrong but I personally thought, that case would be less interesting^^

Hmm.... let's test :D (in 2D) - starting now

I've never tried lobster (but I don't like crab) :)

Fractal fish are a bit more complicated to render than coral ;)
