Description
Created using Ultra Fractal.For Mandelbulb lovers
You should note that this is not using the standard Mandelbulb "algebra".

Thanks very much...

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

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

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

Thank you
Fractal fish are a bit more complicated to render than coral
