Title: 3d tunnel/tube fractal effect Post by: CortesDiddy on March 12, 2012, 07:23:34 PM Hey there folks. I'm familiar with Apophysis and have started using Mandelbulb 3d. I'm looking for pointers on an effect similar to this:

There are so many combinations that have tunnels, that I don't know where to start. Just experiment and you'll find one soon. Here's a quick one with a Mandelbox and Fold Int Pwr. Fiddle with the Julia parameters if you need wider or smaller tunnels.

I'll need to watch a few more tuts to get the hang of this.
Still, thanks for the response and it's lovely that you've provided me with code to play around with. Title: Re: 3d tunnel/tube fractal effect Post by: Erisian on March 12, 2012, 10:42:40 PM Copy the formula and click the txt button in the open tab in M3D. |
