Description
Created with Mandelbulb 3D 1.79, post-processing done with IrfanView and PSP Pro X4; I found this to be a most interesting image to work with and one more named for the Big Picture Series once completed...enjoy!

This amazing Mandelbulb has been featured in my latest journal feature "The Mandelbulb/er 3D Salad Sandwich Project" here:

Thanks so much!

My gosh, Leonie...I thank YOU so much also!!

The pleasure is mine! hehe

LOL! Speaking of pleasure and squary things - are you acquainted with 's stuff? It's incredible! He's been a strong influence and I've tweaked a lot of his things though not well enough to post them all!

Oh yes indeed! I'm quite familiar with Mark's work and he does some great stuff, to say the least. Frankly, I rarely tweak other artists' parameters and prefer to boldly go where I think...no M3D artist has gone before!

Well that's the thing with tweaking - it's a good way to find out where fractallunkers HAVE been before and deciding whether you want to go there again! I've learned a lot from tweaking but I don't necessarily find something 'new' to post from my meanderings. LOL!

Hmmm, that's an interesting comment, Leonie and I've been wondering if there might be a "Fractal Parameters Generator" around? I'm surprised in a way that this doesn't seem to exist right now and perhaps our friend Jesse might be the Wunderkid to invent such a program. I've checked other artist's fractals as time permits but I seem to be on my own path, exploring and investigating and seeing what I can come up with and share my images with the world. It's a great adventure and a lot of fun also to "boldly go where (perhaps) no one has gone before." Well, off to work now, Leonie...have a great day! And I will check out the link you provided in your other message this evening--thanks very much!

Hm...fractal parameters generator? Not too sure what you mean by it... is one of the main formulas writers for M3D these days....maybe he's one to talk to?
There used to be something like that on the net for UF though. You could enter your params and it would tweak them for you and then you could go off on a new path...

Well, a sort of generator which would give us free reign to explore fractal algorithms and so on...maybe come up with something "new." As for UF...whoa! I bought that program a while back and must check out its ability to tweak params--thanks a lot for the tip, Leonie. And Luca is on my Watch list...I'll get in touch with him and see what he might have to say about a fractal generator. Mind you, the Navigator is close to it and we may get a real generator some day soon! Also, I've looked into fractal music generation also and there seems to be some movement on that front also. Have you looked into this, Leonie? Have a great day!!

There's always something new in the works for fractals it seems!
UF - well it took my eons to figure it out! Once you do, the possibilities are simply endless. There are SOOOOO many different formulas to fool with. And thanks to a friend on here, I've just been encouraged to post some sooooo I will post some more. I do have a folder of mostly older ones in my gallery already - pulled out from ancient storage on here. So you may see something new from UF. Give it a try - it's amazing!
Fractal music has long been an interest and I've tried several progs. I had one that you just entered an image formula and poof, music was created. I have one now called A Music Generator and another called Fractal Harmonies. Please let me know if you come across any good ones! One day, I'd like to put fractal music to fractal videos!

I think "fractal art" is in its infancy and really deserves a different title with sub-genres, too. As for UF, I certainly spent a decent buck to buy the program and will just have to tear myself away from Jesse's M3D and that is that.

Sounds like we think alike here! Time time time! And more more more! LOL! It's all just so much fun and that's the main thing for sure!

Ahh, the Time Factor!

Oh yes--I should and will do just that!

My computer is too tiny!

Ahhh--okay! I understand perfectly, Leonie.

One of these days an upgrade will have to happen I'm pretty sure!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes indeed, Leonie--I hope for also! And lucky me, I guess...saved up my monies to buy a powerhouse Acer system...quad core. Really, really helps with ray tracing programs and speeds things up a lot.

Stunning my dearest friend!!
Hope you are good and not working too hard!!
Thanks again for the Rainbow Bubbles!!! You are a sweetheart Shel!!

Oooooohhh, thanks so much, Brenda!
As for not working too hard, well a bit kapooped tonight and not sure if I'll have time to work on any new images at all. Perhaps tomorrow I'll have more time to get back at it, right? Absolutely.
Hehehe, a pleasure to do the Rainbow Bubbles...it was a combination of exploration, finding, creating and so Rainbow came to be--cool!
As for the "sweetheart" comment...kind of blushing up here--but not a whole lot at all!
CHEERS!!

Hahaha...I guess there's nothing like a Caramilk and asparagus sandwich for a late night snack, Leonie!
