Welcome to Fractal Forums

This is the Perpendicular Mandelbrot Zoom, rendered in a couple of hours on a laptop - with Perturbation!

These Perpendicular fractals are cool since they have a different symmetry compared to the other fractal types.
The doubled pattern is just flipped along the x-axis and not flipped-and-mirrored.
Or, if you want another perspective, the ordinary fractals get doubled and rotated around the center point - the perpendicular get doubled, rotated and mirrored around the center point.

This make it hard to find the way to the final minibrot, so it requires some trial and error :)

Just look at the youtube preview image. There is a heart shaped pattern. In other fractals this would only be possible before centering the zoom half-ways to the minibrot. But youtube preview image is at 3/4 to the minibrot!

If anyone was wondering... The P. Mandelbrot Formula for XaoS is:
(rabs(re(z))-i*im(z))²+c
Cool, right?
This is how I figured it out.
If (Re(z)-i*im(z))^2+c is the tricorn, then I fused the formula with the Burning Ship fractal's.
The result was it turning it upside down. So, if I tried it with the Heart Mandelbrot's formula, It'll show the top of the Burning Ship fractal instead of the "keel."
And I was right. It was not really surprising. The screen displayed a familiar shape. The P. Mandelbrot, of course!

The P. Mandelbrot is not really the mandelbrot set. It is related to the burning ship.
Enjoy!!  :dink:
